Favourite quotes on persistence
The other day I wrote about how important it is to make a big goal manageable by breaking into small manageable steps. The next thing one needs is persistence. Persistence to keep coming back to take the next small step, even if you don't feel like it.
And since it is Wise Words Wednesday, I am sharing some of my favourite inspiring quotes on persistence:
