If patience is a virtue, then persistence is the virtue, my friends.

While good things surely come to those who wait, as a life coach, I’m rooting for those who don’t! There’s no use in marvelling at your life from a distance, hoping that the fruit might miraculously fall into your lap. Life doesn’t work like that (and if it did, it would be a pretty boring existence). When it comes to becoming the master of your own life, patience is obsolete. Water your seeds, and tend to your garden. After all, we might only have this one, amazingly random chance to live out the human experience for all its insanity, beauty, and magic. So be impatient! Persist. Try, and fail. Yep – you heard me loud and clear. FAIL. Then try and fail again. And again, and again, and again, until your defeats eventually become your victories.

Let’s face our fears and procrastinations head on with tenacity and vigour. After all, every failed attempt is one glorious step closer to success.
