“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.”

- Abraham Lincoln

None of these things:

• Another person’s thoughts of you . . .
• Being the most gifted. . .
• Being the least gifted. . .
• Having unlimited resources at your disposal. . .
• Having few resources. . .

Makes a bit of difference to your being successful.

Can these things give you a boost or create obstacles to overcome?

Sure.

But in the end, the only thing that matters is your purpose and your inner drive to succeed.

Cultivate that, and nothing will stop you.
