Keith Craft on Perseverance
- Consistency is one of the secrets of all truly successful people. Once you know what works in any area of your life, keep doing it over and over. Imagine a triangle with Consistency on the lower left corner, Persistence on the lower right corner and Omnipotence at the top. When we are consistent in any belief, attitude or behavior, it develops a spirit of Persistence, that empowers you to overcome insurmountable obstacles. What you are consistent in, creates an instinctive ability to keep on keeping on (Persistence). The impossible becomes possible. The complex is made simple and transgressing the difficult becomes an instinctive way of life. Think Consistent...Be Persistent...Do Omnipotence.
- Creative persistence is THINKing the right way…BEing the best you can be…DOing what is most important with the right people…with a willingness to keep on growing and changing for the better.” Keith Craft, A Leadershipology.
- Faithfulness is not never failing. It’s getting back up every time you fail so that you never fail, when you fall!
- Never allow what you know you have lost, to keep you from finding what you can.
- The people who find treasure are the people who refuse to quit looking for it.
- There are no shortcuts to greatness.
- Whatever you want, is what you have to be willing to fight for.
- Living with a NEVERTHELESS resolve begins with a pre-decision to never settle for less than God has for YOU.
- Never allow the process of what you are going through to cause you to lose focus on the promise that God has for you! The process is temporary…the promise is eternal!
- The true test of faithfulness is not never failing, but being willing to get back up and be better.
- Grit is the one immutable thing you need to win, spirit, soul, and body.
- Grit is adding value to our value so that our value adds value to others and we become more valuable.
- You have to do more than just 'Go GET' what you want in life; you must GO GRIT IT!"
- Grit is courageously doing what you don't want to do, by paying the price to be the WHO you want to be.
- People stop doing what they did to win because they settle in.
- Keep doing the good that you know to do even when doing what you know to do doesn't seem to be getting any results.
- What you do every day will determine your every tomorrow.
- Persistence is to keep doing what you know to do, even when doing what you know to do, doesn't seem to be getting any results...knowing that the greatest outcome of doing what you know to do is what YOU BECOME in the process, not what you get from Doing the Process.
- Patience is a virtue only if you have become stronger by what could, should and would have made you weaker...if you had not endured.
- Persistence is keeping on doing what you know to do even when doing what you know to do doesn't seem to be getting any results.
- Whatever could have destroyed you but didn't, has the equivalent power to make you stronger.
- Persistence is the bridge over failure that leads to success, because you never fail until you stop trying.
