Adversity -- Motivational Minute (13_42)



Quote of the day:

“Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.” Napoleon Hill

Consider:

This quote rings true in my own life. As long as I don’t give up and refuse to quit, eventually I reap the desired rewards. There's no crown without a cross, no testimony without a test, no triumph without a trial, no victory without a battle! As long as you keep fighting, you'll keep winning.

Take a lesson from John Paul Jones, the 18th century naval captain. His ship had been shot out from under him and was sinking. Half his men had been killed and many others had been wounded, including Jones himself.

When the enemy captain called out Jones to surrender, Jones screamed back, "Surrender? Hell no! We haven't even begun to fight yet!"

He refused to surrender and kept on fighting—and he eventually won the battle. That's the kind of person who wins victories—the kind who refuses to stop fighting. Like Jim Ron says, “How long should you try? Until.”

Wishing you all the best,

Coach Dana
