I got a boost from this email today. I am sharing it with my Freeper family.

More from the excerpt:

"The greatest obstacles to persistence?

Thinking things should go perfectly right out the gate. Getting flustered the moment your great plan proves to, actually, kinda suck. Thinking mistakes + temporary failures are signs you’re an idiot. You know, helpful stuff like that."

"We need to believe in ourselves. We need to KNOW that we will fall down again and again in our journey up the mountain. We need to get up each time with a smile as we dust ourselves off, thank the powers-that-be for the opportunity to get just a little stronger, and GET BACK TO WORK. In short, we need to have an iron will."

What might be the “literary” relationship between Orison Swett Marden and Ayn Rand, I wonder?

I prefer The Power To Hold Out

See "IF" by Kipling. Prayers up for you. The will to win is important in all things.
