Would you have the persistence of Brooke Raboutou?

There are lots of famous people out there that deserve recognition and respect for all that they have accomplished. One of the up-and-comers that you’ll want to keep an eye on, is Brooke Raboutou. While only 19 years old, she’s been making headlines since she was 11 years old, if not younger! Already thought to be especially successful due to her skill, Raboutou is also impressive because of her persistence!

Success is all about persistence

In her words and actions, both, Raboutou is all about being successful through being persistent. While she would get all sorts of negative comments about her age, her height and many other permanent details about her as an individual, Raboutou stayed focused on what she was going after — and achieved it!

Before she was even 11 years old, she broke 7 world records. Now, as she hones her climbing skills and continues to take on new challenges, she is more persistent than ever. Her strength comes from the following details:

1. Continuing on even when it’s hard: After failures, injuries and negative comments, Raboutou continues on and never fails to show up and do her best. Even with school, growing up, and life got in the way, she’d always continue with her goals and passions of climbing. She saw the bad days as just that — bad days.
   

2. Your limitations exist only in your mind: She’s not the “best” physique for climbing, all things considered. She’s both young and short, but she uses both of those traits as incentive to keep on going so that she can continue to blow past everyone’s expectations and shatter perceptions. Limitations aren thing other than the fear of other people.
   

3. Make time for bettering yourself: Getting to your goal is about persistence in helping yourself get there as much as it is about working hard. Raboutou trains and climbs over 15 hours a week while being a full-time University student with a high GPA. Bettering herself exists in training but also in a proper, focused education so that she is always pushing herself to be stronger.

Following your passion is always the best idea

Everyone, both young and old, should always follow their heart and pursue their passion. Even if the world tells you that you’ll never be good enough, keep on going and be persistent so that you can reach your goals as you see them! As Raboutou has shown us, age is nothing other than a number. After finding her passion of climbing, she didn’t wait to get “old enough” to pursue her dreams. She broke world records early because she started when she found it. The child in your life can do the same thing, too, as soon as they find their love and passion and figure out what success means to them!

While your journey to success may look and feel different from that of Brooke Raboutou, the end goal of being persistent and following your passion, is very much the same. Have you got what it takes?
