Persistence
is all about turning up and taking constant action. Persistence comes easy with
passion.
Passion
is loving what you do.
Perseverance
is dedication in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving
success.
Basia mastering Rubik's cube, 2017
Not that you should persist in every case. Sometimes we hold on too long. Studies have shown that when people pursue an unobtainable goal they get stressed out and sick.
Before
you decide to go through, look at where you are at and where you are heading.
This will help you to see the reality while believing things will still work
out. It will let you to shift and adapt and change your goal, if needed. To
achieve it is the most important.
Persistence,
keeps you on track until you reach your goal.
It’s
a simple concept – keep going until you get there. But, we make it so much
harder than that. We struggle, we question and fight, we battle to achieve our
goals. Sure, there’s adversity and challenge in life, but most of the struggle
against success is because we persist at the wrong things.
If
you’re passionate about what you are doing, if your goal aligns with your
deeper values and desires it isn’t all that hard to keep going. There isn’t a
whole lot of fight. You know you’re on the right path, so you persist and take
inspired action every day toward what you most want.
If
things are feeling hard. If life feels a little slow and dull and thongs aren’t
that motivating, assess whether your daily goals are– or the things you feel
obligated to do – match up with the things that matter most to you.
By
discovering the discrepancies between how you spend your time and how you want
to spend your time – you can find ways to align your desires with your actions.
This will allow you to spend some time on your passions and purpose each day
and that infuses your life with energy. Persistence, is just a by-product of
that.
Benjamin Franklin said: Energy and persistence conquer all things.
The power to keep going will conquer all other obstacles.
The power to keep going will conquer all other obstacles.
If
you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk
then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward. - Martin
Luther King, Jr.
Some
days the actions you take will be big, other days your best will be very
little, but keep moving forward to persevere and succeed.
