  Every dream has a price tag attached to it. All you have to do to live the life of your dreams it to pay the price.          This price comes in forms of discouragements, setbacks, disappointment, or even failure on the journey to your destination. The truth remains that we can live the life of our dreams only if we are willing to pay the price attached to the fulfillment of those dreams. These advisories and discouragements as listed above are inevitable in our journey to success. A lot of stories are being told of people who have triumphed over amazing odds to pull off their dreams. History is filled with stories of people who have overcome debilitating diseases, paralysis, disfigurement, bankruptcy, defeat, public humiliation & more and still come back to achieve their dreams. These amazing feats are only achievable through the power of persistence.      Quoting the thirtieth president of the United State, Calvin Coolidge,“ Persistence and determination alone are Omnipotent”. Among the lots who have achieved their dreams through persistence and determination are the authors of “chicken soup for the soul series” Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. More than 140 publishers rejected chicken soup for the soul. After every major publisher in New York & san Francisco rejected it, their agents gave them back the book because he couldn’t sell it. They took a hundred copies of their book proposal to the American Bookseller Association convention that year and walked from book to booth for two days and kept getting the same No for an answer to publishing their book.But towards the end of the second day they met two publishers of Health communications booth who promised to read it on their airplane home and get back to them. A week later they   agreed to publish the book.Today this book series include more than 70 titles in 39 languages that have touched the lives and minds of over 90 million readers worlds wide  The average millionaire in America has gone bankrupt or out of business 3 to 5 times on his/her way to becoming a millionaire and there are more than 4.5 million millionaires in America.
