I recently finished reading an oldie but goodie!
It's titled "An Iron Will" by Orison Swett Marden and the entire thing is about sticking with what you set out to do. If you recall the speech Kim and I did at Shine, we talked about this very same thing. To quote his book "...discipline of one's will-power is of supreme moment in relation to success in life....Most men fail, not through lack of education or agreeable personal qualities, but from lack of dogged determination, from lack of dauntless will."
He goes on to say "One of the secrets of a successful life is to be able to hold all of our energies upon one point, to focus all of the scattered rays of the mind upon one place or thing....(because)...the habit of mind-wandering , of worrying about this and that, crowding the thoughts with petty anxieties and jealousies, is a little leak in our mental reservoir, which is constantly sapping our reserve power and lessening the changes of our success."
