The John Galt Quote about Perseverance
“Do not let the hero in your soul
perish, in lonely frustration, for the life you deserved but never have been
able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you
desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.” -John
Galt on Perseverance
Many individuals and nations go through
terrible struggles. The key to persevering through those struggles is knowing
that your end goal can always be reached. You simply have to work through
everything that life throws at you, as the characters in Atlas
Shrugged do. Yes, that is often incredibly frustrating and
difficult. Life is hard and pushing through the struggles it throws at you is
even harder. But, doing so is always worth it.
Your enemies might be evil. In
fact, they likely will be, as they will be Marxists, socialists, and other
forms of scum and villainy.
Your challenges might be almost
overpowering. Everyone struggles with failure, and it hits some harder than
others. Each successive step along the path to success might seem more
difficult than the last as challenges and problems crop up that seem like they
will prevent you from creating the world you want to live in.
Perseverance is the one thing
that can always help with pushing through those struggles and in fighting back
against your evil enemies. President Trump has to fight back against them every
day, just as he has to deal with the challenges posed by Obama’s mismanagement
of America and the problems created by anti-Trump leftists and RINOs that
want to see him fail more than they want America to succeed. But does he ever
give up or give in? No! He understands this quote by John Galt on perseverance
and wants to build the world he desires. Even more than that, he knows that
Winston Churchill was right in his quote about having enemies; having enemies just means that you’ve stood up for
something.
As Ayn Rand writes, “the world you
desired can be won.” You just have to go out there and win it. You have to put
in the work, of course, but, if you do, then you can reshape the world around
you as you want it to be.
I think that advice is excellent
because it applies to anyone and everyone that wants to make something of their
life. Everyone has a great idea or an innovative concept. Americans are an
innovative and productive lot; we all have ideas. But what separates great
people and those that are highly successful from their unknown peers is that
winners do not let “the hero in [their] soul[s] perish.” Instead, they keep
fighting as struggling, as we are all told to do in this quote by John Galt on
perseverance.
Be like them. Be like Rockefeller, Carnegie, or the Founding Fathers. Did those men ever give in or give up? No! They kept fighting to create the world they wanted. Learn from them. Use the values behind this great John Galt quote to conquer your ambitions! If you do so, then you can “conquer the world.” You can unleash your business ambitions. Or become a politician. Anything is possible if you refuse to give up or give in and instead internalize this quote by John Galt on perseverance and know that the world you desire can be won.
Ayn Rand would prefer you
become a titan of industry, but the US needs good representatives and
leaders too. The main key is to recognize, as Friedrich Hayek did in his quote on liberty,
that you have to use your freedom wisely and responsibly if you’re going to
make the most of your life. Once you understand this quote, you can master the
world. Just fight through the struggles you face!
Yes, of course, that’s easier said
than done. It can be difficult to live a life of meaning. But as Socrates said,
that level of difficulty doesn’t really matter because the key is to live life well, not
just to live. Even if it’s difficult, doing so is well worth it, as this quote
by John Galt on perseverance says.
The reason its worth it is because
it is far better to continually live a life of virtue, striving to be the best
you can possibly be, than to just settle down for a life you don’t want to
live. When you are lying in your deathbed, would you not rather look back on a
life of dreams pursued, even if doing so was difficult, than on a life of
continually following the easiest possible route that delivered comfort but not
true prosperity, or safety but no real freedom? I know that I certainly would.
All that is to say, read and
internalize this quote by John Galt on perseverance. Know that Ayn Rand was
right (which is as is to be expected), the world you desire can, in fact, be
won. You just have to follow your dreams and work hard every day to make those
dreams a reality.
So, don’t let your dreams
eventually become mostly forgotten and nothing but a memory from when you used
to be more motivated, as John Galt warns against in this terrific quote.
Instead, fight to stay ahead and turn your dreams into a reality. It can be
done; many have done so. Just looks at a list of company founders and
successful entrepreneurs. All it takes is hard work and perseverance. Stand up
for what you believe in and speak your opinions.
Fight for liberty with the knowledge that doing so with any level of extremism is no vice.
Fight the culture war like
you want to win it. If you do so, then you will reshape the world around you.
Keep fighting and persevering. It’s worth it.
