The Power of One More Try

Quote:
“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” — Thomas Edison

Theme: The Power of One More Try

Success is rarely a straight line. It’s a winding, twisting journey filled with setbacks, roadblocks, and moments where giving up feels easier than pressing on. But history—and life itself—shows us something powerful: sometimes, the next attempt is the one that breaks everything open. The one that works. The one that changes it all.

That’s the power of one more try. Not a hundred. Just one. A single act of courage, grit, and belief that this time might be the time. And even if it’s not, the act of not quitting strengthens your mindset in a way success never could.

Reflection:

Thomas Edison famously failed over a thousand times before inventing the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail so much, he replied, “I didn’t fail. I just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

That mindset is the fuel of resilience. The truth is, most people quit right before the breakthrough. They stop digging one foot away from the gold. They leave the race with only a lap to go—not knowing that the door was just about to swing open.

You might be standing in one of those moments right now.

Maybe you’ve tried to lose weight. Build a business. Write a book. Heal a relationship. And it hasn’t worked—yet. But what if one more try changed everything? What if the real test is whether you’ll keep going when it feels like nothing’s working?

Perseverance is a decision. It’s not about always knowing how. It’s about deciding not to quit—especially when your goal still matters to you.

Call to Action:

What have you almost given up on?
What dream, goal, or effort have you pushed to the back burner because it felt like it wasn’t happening fast enough?

Today, revive it. Reignite it. Try one more time.

• Make the call again.

• Apply one more time.

• Get back to the gym.

• Publish the post.

• Send the email.

• Give the effort.

And do it not because success is guaranteed—do it because you are worth the fight. Do it because you don’t want to live with “what if” hanging over your dreams.

One more try. That’s all it takes.
And if it doesn’t work today? Try again tomorrow. Momentum is born in moments just like this.

Happy Sunday Funday!!
