You are a work-in-progress. Persevere until you cross the finish line of the various stages of your life. 

Your past does not define you. Your future is yours in the making and may you find all the help you need along the way. 

Start by being grateful for where you are right now and be thankful to those who have helped you along the way thus far.

Persistence Beats Resistance

"Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success." - Napoleon Hill

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." - Calvin Coolidge

"A great leader once told me 'Persistence beats resistance'. And after working at Facebook, Intel and Microsoft and starting my own company, I've learned two major lessons: All great things take time, and you must persist no matter what. That's what it takes to be a leader: willingness to go beyond where others will stop." - Noah Kagan 

“If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
