The Only Way to Succeed is to Keep Going

ad: Lazy Caveman Boudin

There was a man mining for gold during the gold rush. He mined tirelessly for years to come up with nothing. He sold the mine, and the person who bought it dug in the same spot but three feet deeper and found gold.

I always ask, ”When do I throw in the towel? When is it time to quit and go get a job?”

I respond, “The only way to succeed is to keep going. You’re closer to success than not. Whether you choose faith or fear, they both require your belief. So keep going!”

If I had listened to everyone who told me it was time to get a job, I would not have 500+ team members serving thousands of families all over Louisiana and Texas. If I had listened, the company that I lead would not have been able to make an impact through the many nonprofit organizations that we support in our communities.

We were taught that uncertainty isn’t good. We went to school and were told to go to college. Then get a good job. I realized that that wasn’t my plan but someone else’s plan. I decided to make my own decisions and accept the consequences of those decisions. I chose uncertainty over certainty. I chose success with significance over personal success. I chose discomfort over comfort. I realized I’m not better than anyone else, but no one is better than me. I just chose to go for it.

I want to encourage you to don’t quit for those who are on the fence. I want to encourage those uncertain about it to go for it.
