Persistence and determination propelled successful people to the heights of their goals’ abundance. They didn’t see difficulties as stumbling blocks rather they saw it as stepping stones to success. They saw it as opportunities to better things. For them if a door closes they find other doors to that will open for them.
Obstacles can be very heartbreaking, they can be very overwhelming that it is easier to give up and surrender to defeat. And sometimes the universe will really test us and give us roadblocks to test our commitment to our vision. However successful people pursue and persist and just take them as lessons that can be used to overcome apparent obstructions.
Not even our well-meaning parents, relatives, friends and colleagues can tell us no and get a real job. These should not be reasons to turn our backs to our dreams. Our dreams are our real job and it is our fulfillment to achieve them. No amount of rejections and NOs should stop us to achieve our hopes and dreams.
From Fundamentals of Success:
Whenever you confront an obstacle or run into a roadblock, you need to stop and brainstorm three ways to get around, over, or through the block. For every obstacle, come up with three different strategies for handling the potential obstacle. There are any number of ways that will work, but you will find them only if you spend time looking for them. Always be solution-oriented in your thinking. Persevere until you find a way that works.
For every failure, there’s an alternative course of action.
You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipoten.
The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
