How can we increase the potential that we will succeed?
The best way is perseverance. As long as we continue, there is a chance that we can succeed, if we give up or quit, we rob ourselves of that possibility. Personally, I'd rather give myself the opportunity to succeed, which is why I opt for perseverance.
Once I began a series on steemit and the first post in that series originally earned 7 cents. Yup, not exactly a stellar payout. At that point, I stood at a crossroad. Should I persevere and continue the series even though it may not get much support? Or, should I give up and do something else? I continued the series and by the 7th post in that series, those posts totaled over $300 in potential payouts. Obviously, I was pleased that I had made the correct decision.
PERSEVERANCE
THE ANCIENT ART OF PERSEVERANCE
When I continued after making that 7 cent post and wound up seeing what happened, I made a post about it to encourage others. I had no guarantee or promise of anything, but I allowed myself to continue to have that opportunity and it paid off. Below, I have the link to that post and also to another one with a good message from @luisucv34. Enjoy!
