Persistence is an essential factor in turning desire into money!

Persistence is the Power of Will!

When You Follow These Steps You Can Write Your Own Ticket And Make Life Give You The Price You Asked For

•         Mrs. Wallis Simpson’s great love for a man was not accidental, nor the result of favorable “breaks” alone.

•         There was a burning desire, and careful searching at every step of the way.

•         Her first duty was to love.

•         What is the greatest thing on earth?

•         The Master called it love-not man-made rules, criticism, bitterness, slander, or political “marriages,” but love.

•         She knew what she wanted, not after she met the Prince of Wales, but long before that.

•         Twice when she had failed to find it but she had the courage to continue her search.

•         Mrs. Wallis Simpson’s rise from obscurity was of the slow, progressive, persistent order, but it was sure!

“To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.”

•         She triumphed over unbelievably long odds.

•         No matter who you are, or what you may think of Wallis Simpson, or the king who gave up his Crown for her love, she is an astounding example of applied PERSISTENCE.

•         She is an instructor on the rules of self-determination, from whom the entire world might profitably take lessons.

•         When you think of Wallis Simpson, think of one who knew what she wanted.

•         She shook the greatest empire on earth to get it.

•         Women who complain that this is a man’s world, that women do not have an equal chance to win, owe it to themselves to study carefully the life of this unusual woman.

•         At an age most women consider “old,” she captured the affections of the most desirable bachelor in the entire world.

What of King Edward?

•         What lesson may we learn from his part in the world’s greatest drama of recent times?

•         Did he pay too high a price for the affections of the woman of his choice?

•         Surely no one but he can give the correct answer.

•         The rest of us can only conjecture.

What of King Edward?

•         This much we know, the king came into the world without his own consent.

•         He was born to great riches, without requesting them.

•         He was persistently sought in marriage.

•         Politicians and statesmen throughout Europe tossed dowagers and princesses at his feet.

•         He was the first born of his parents.

What of King Edward?

•         He inherited a crown, which he did not seek, and perhaps did not desire.

•         For more than forty years he was not a free agent.

•         He could not live his life in his own way.

•         He had but little privacy.

•         He assumed duties inflicted upon him when he ascended the throne.

The truth is that back of all the privileges of a crown, all the money, fame, and power inherited by King Edward, there was an emptiness that could be filled only by love.

What of King Edward?

•         His greatest desire was for love.

•         Long before he met Wallis Simpson, he doubtless felt this great universal emotion tugging at the strings of his heart, beating upon the door of his soul, and crying out for expression.

•         When he met a kindred spirit, crying out for this same Holy privilege of expression, he recognized it.

What of King Edward?

•         Without fear or apology, he opened his heart and bade it enter.

•         All the scandal-mongers in the world cannot destroy the beauty of this international drama.

•         Two people found love.

•         They had the courage to face open criticism, renounce all else to give it holy expression.

What of King Edward?

•         King Edward’s decision to give up the crown of the world’s most powerful empire, for the privilege of going the remainder of the way through life with the woman of his choice, was a decision that required courage.

•         The decision also had a price, but who has the right to say the price was too great?

Surely not he who said, “He among you who is without sin, let him cast the first stone.”

What of King Edward?

•         As a suggestion to any evil-minded person who chooses to find fault with the Duke of Windsor, because his desire was for love, and for openly declaring his love for Wallis Simpson, and giving up his throne for her, let it be remembered that the open declaration was not essential.

•         He could have followed the custom of clandestine liaison that has prevailed in Europe for centuries, without giving up either his throne, or the woman of his choice.

What of King Edward?

•         There would have been no complaint from either the church or the laity.

•         But this unusual man was built of sterner stuff.

•         His love was clean.

•         It was deep and sincere.

•         It represented the one thing which, above all else he truly desired.

What of King Edward?

•         He took what he wanted, and paid the price demanded.

•         They persisted in searching until they found life’s greatest reward.

•         All of us can profit by following their example in our own search for that which we demand of life.

Persistence Gives To Men and Women A Mystical Power, The Capacity To Master Difficulties?

•         Does the quality of PERSISTENCE set up in one’s mind some form of spiritual, mental or chemical activity that gives one access to supernatural forces?

•         Does Infinite Intelligence throw itself on the side of the person who still fights on, after the battle has been lost, with the whole world on the opposing side?

In the lives of great men and women, persistence was the major source of their stupendous achievements.

•         An impartial study of the prophets, philosophers, “miracle” men, and religious leaders of the past, conclusively proves the value of persistence, concentration of effort, and definiteness of purpose.
