Sound simple? It is.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the unwillingness to try again keeps most of the people who want to study abroad from ever traveling.<\/p>\n<p>If you ask them, people who didn&#8217;t study abroad will give you every answer in the book:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I couldn&#8217;t afford it.<\/li>\n<li>My advisor said classes wouldn&#8217;t work out.<\/li>\n<li>My parents said I couldn&#8217;t go.<\/li>\n<li>I didn&#8217;t get my application in on time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Notice that each of those (and every other excuse that people use regarding goals they have given up on) is a matter of being unwilling to try again. It&#8217;s not something to be ashamed of, and it&#8217;s not bad. It definitely happens.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes certain goals just aren&#8217;t worth the work success requires. If we don&#8217;t acknowledge that the real problem is our unwillingness to be persistent, we&#8217;ll never know how to fix it.<\/p>\n<p>You won&#8217;t ever be spontaneously able to study abroad. If you&#8217;re persistent and you dedicate yourself to the idea of studying abroad, you will be more willing to try out many different avenues.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, there&#8217;s a good chance you&#8217;ll find a way if you keep trying.<\/p>\n<p>Those who give up easily won&#8217;t find a way to get paid to study abroad, simply because they aren&#8217;t willing to try until they find what works.<\/p>\n<p>Is it okay to give up? Sure. But acknowledge that studying abroad wasn&#8217;t worth the effort of trying again. Don\u2019t say it was impossible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 4\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>I f \u00a0i t \u00a0i \u200bs \u00a0\u200bw o r t h \u00a0i t \u00a0f o r \u00a0y o u , \u00a0k e e p \u00a0t r y i n g . \u00a0I \u00a0k n o w \u00a0y o u &#8216; l l \u00a0f i n d \u00a0a \u00a0w a y .<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you liked this and you\u2019d like a few more pep\u00ad talks and some of the best resources in the world to help you study abroad, check out my online course: <a href=\"http:\/\/studyabroadbook.com\/\">T\u200bhe World\u2019s Best School: Travel\u200b\u00ad\u200b<\/a>.\u00a0There you\u2019ll find everything you need to secure grants or scholarships and study abroad whether or not you think it\u2019s possible now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Guest Blogger &#8211;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Steve Moraco<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Founder, <a href=\"http:\/\/studyabroadbook.com\/\"><span class=\"s3\">StudyAbroadBook.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a single key difference that separates people who w\u200bant \u200bto study abroad from people who actually go.
