Every week, new opportunities come my way. Some are business-related, others personal, but all of them present themselves as unique opportunities. This week, a business opportunity that I had pursued several times before resurfaced. I believe this was the third or fourth attempt to secure this particular piece of business, and although it never previously worked out in my favor, it always left me eager to try again.
Well, finally, it happened. I reached the finish line. I crossed the goal. However you want to phrase it, the battle was won. I secured the piece of business, and it looks like it’s going to be a very large and successful venture for my company.
As I reflected on this success this afternoon, the phrase “try, try again” kept coming to mind. Many people might have given up or harbored a negative attitude toward an opportunity that took so long to materialize. But that’s something I just don’t understand. I’ve never been one to give up. I’ve always been willing to try as many times as necessary to succeed.
So, my thought for the week is: always keep trying. It’s more than a mantra – it’s a way of life, a mentality that I deeply cherish, even on the most frustrating days. It’s always rewarding to have the perseverance to keep going.
