If you want to be successful in life, you must cultivate persistence. It's one of the most valuable traits you can possibly have. Life can seem like a never ending series of problems and hurdles, and the only way to get through it and get what you want is to persist. Just keep going.
Remember that the successful people are the ones who didn't give up. The lovable aquatic character Dory has is right, "Just keep swimming." (Side Note: The new Finding Dory movie is really good, it had big fins to fill and did well.) If you're reading this, it means you're still alive. And that means you can still go after what you want in life. Enjoy the journey.

Great satisfaction can be found in improving yourself. It's one of the best parts of life. There is a reason self-actualization is at the top of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. We are happiest and most fulfilled in life when striving for and reaching our full potential. On our journey to better ourselves, our commitment to continually and consistently improving ourselves is the key. Always be learning and growing. Don't let yourself stagnate. That's the road to depression and pain. On my journey, there is so much I want to learn, sometimes it can be overwhelming. I've just got to keep chipping away everyday.
