Persevere

Main Entry: per·se·vere

Pronunciation: \ˌpər-sə-ˈvir\

Function: intransitive verb

: to persist in a state, enterprise, or undertaking in spite of counterinfluences, opposition, or discouragement

The mind is a powerful thing. I believe if you want something bad enough...I mean, really, really want it bad enough, no matter what it is...and you BELIEVE that you will have it, it will be yours. BUT - you have to truly want it enough to persevere beyond those wall and mountains that you'll encounter on your journey.

I read Randy Pausch's book, 'The Last Lecture' and there's a chapter about how, from time to time, you'll encounter a wall that you must scale over if you want something bad enough. But remember this; that wall is not there to keep you from having what you want; it's there to prevent other people from getting in.
