Loading Kristen Aldridge data from Instagram. Please wait... @kristen.aldridge : When you hear the life stories of famous entrepreneurs, founders, inventors, artists, and luminaries, they usually have one trait in common: remarkable perseverance. Most of them failed repeatedly before they experienced massive success. While they all possessed a passion to succeed, it was their “never give up” attitude that defined their life and work.
.
Oprah Winfrey was fired from her first television job because she was “unfit for TV.”
.
The manager of the Grand Old Opry fired Elvis Presley after his first performance, suggesting he “go back to driving a truck.”
.
When he was a young boy, Thomas Edison’s parents pulled him out of school after teachers called him “stupid” and “unteachable.”
.
Dr. Seuss was rejected many times before publishers accepted his first book.
.
Jerry Seinfeld was booed off the stage the first time he tried to deliver a comedy routine.

What made these luminaries get back up and try again and again? Perseverance. A little reminder to keep going. Never stop. Never give up. The moment you’re ready to quit is usually the moment right before the miracle happens. 💗💫
