Persist, and efforts pay off that otherwise never would. Persist, and time begins to work for you rather than against you.
Persist, and the obstacles fall away, one by one. Persist, and the goals that seemed impossibly distant come streaming into view.

Persist, and what once held you back becomes a force that moves you forward. Persist, and you achieve what no one thought you could.

Persist, and weakness turns into strength. Persist, and valuable knowledge replaces ignorance.

When it seems you're making no progress at all, persist. For that's usually when a breakthrough is close at hand.

What was once impossible can indeed be yours. Persist, and you'll be there.

People talk a lot about triggers in these forums.
Most of the time it's in a negative context.
But I believe in positive triggers too.
One of mine is the word "determination."
There are many things I have attempted that had distant goals.
When I get frustrated, or feel like my goal is unreachable, the word "determination" is like a mantra for me.
That's how I "persist".
