Nothing Beats Persistence

Believe you were made for the place you fill, and that no one else can fill it quite as well.

Getting in shape often requires incredible persistence. Never ever give up and you'll likely amaze even yourself!

Identify a goal and put forth your whole energies towards it. Be awake, electrify yourself; go forth to the task. Only once learn to carry a thing through in all its completeness and proportion, and you will become a hero.

Exercise daily - or at least most days of every week. You will feel better and think better of yourself. Your family and friends will think better of you. The world in its very heart admires the stern, determined doer.

"I like the man who faces what he must
With step triumphant and a heart of cheer;
Who fights the daily battle without fear;
Sees his hopes fail, yet keeps unfaltering trust
That God is God; that somehow, true and just,
His plans work out for mortals; not a tear
Is shed when fortune, which the world holds dear,
Falls from his grasp; better, with love, a crust
Than living in dishonor; envies not,
Nor loses faith in man; but does his best,
Nor even murmurs at his humbler lot;
But with a smile and words of hope, gives zest
To every toiler; he alone is great,
Who by a life heroic conquers fate."
