Persistence is a great way of making progress. It’s consistent and doesn’t depend on Lady Luck dropping success in your lap. It’s also necessary when you’re expecting a pay off that doesn’t arrive when you’d like it to.

You just keep doing your best work.

Again and again – altering your course or even goals if necessary. Over time, whether you get the pay off or not, you’re much nearer where you hoped to be, and without disappointment if you’re proud of the journey.
