I remember watching Anvil last year and thinking that a lot of people would label them as unrealistic. But in a way I think this is required in order to persevere and succeed after constant failure. The ones that succeed in life are the ones that want it so bad that their determination grows the longer they don’t succeed.

Perseverance is definitely the key to success. More important than intelligence in fact. Keep up the good work with your writing:)

Hey Dayne,

It really is incredible what we can do when we stick to it. One of the best friends I could ever ask for once told me that the secret to success was perseverance. And I say that the secret to making perseverance worth it, is passion.

Thanks for this Dayne. It was very inspiring to know what that band went through and what the Harry Potter author went through. I was shocked that she was on welfare, was rejected 12 times, and went through clinical depression. That’s rough, but it just shows what determination and passion can bring you if you keep on believing that your work will one day succeed.

Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! Tweeted, Stumbled, and Dugg!

Too many people give up easily because they lack of self-belief, passion, and a penchant for instant gratification. They just have no fricking idea what it takes to achieve great success. I may not have achieved great success, but I do know what it takes and I’m going to stick to it, and stick to it till the end.

Cheers~

Mark

This is really a great post. You hit the key points in a straight-to-the-point and encouraging manner. Getting to where we want to be is a life-long journey, but it’s the journey that counts. I agree that we should celebrate our progress, even when it only feels like we are taking baby steps.

What a great post! I love to hear stories about people following their dreams. I think one important thing is to reconsider how you measure success. I measure success by my level of joy. If what I’m doing brings me joy and delight, I am not in the mindset that I am waiting for success. I am, in that moment, experiencing success. I believe the quest for worldwide acknowledgment of your success puts the cards in the hands of others. And that is enough to limit progress.

Thanks so much for this wonderful article.

Dayne,

I really enjoyed these stories. There’s really so much that can be said about passion. Every really successful person in the world says that “you will always be more successful and happier in life if you do what you are passionate about.” Yet, for some reason we get it into our head that it’s a tough call to follow your passion because we’re so tied to the 9to5 grind. These stories teach us all that with passion and perseverance anything is possible.

Dayne – a simultaneously inspirational and sobering post. On one hand, it’s encouraging to see how things can come together to reward those who persevere with their dreams and ambitions. But on the other hand, it’s sobering to realize that good luck does play a role in making dreams come true.

It’s great to hear about the people who have experienced phenomenal success, but at the same time a little saddening to think of all those who just haven’t had their big break.

To some extent we create our own luck through hard work and determination (and now helped by the interconnectedness of our world), but we also have to admit that circumstances do play a part, and our task isn’t to complain or fall victim to our circumstances, but to act to the best of our abilities and let the chips fall as they may.
