Remember when you were a child and wanted to do something, go somewhere or own something? Did you just ask your parents once for permission or to buy what you wanted? Of course, you didn’t. You were persistent. You asked as many times it took to achieve your hearts desire.
Your every thought was directed at getting what you wanted... and the sooner the better. Succeeding in anything requires that kind of unrelenting persistence. It doesn’t matter what the goal is....business, sports, your love life.... persistence is what makes it happen.
The dictionary defines persistent as... "Refusing to give up or let go; persevering obstinately". Being really persistent requires developing a kind of tunnel vision so that our entire focus is on the goal and we can see nothing but finding the way of achieving that goal.
When striving to reach a goal there will always be challenges to be met, hurdles to be jumped, or, even, the occasional unavoidable detour.
Like a roadmap that shows us the way to get from point A to point B, our best laid plans wont show us all the pitfalls and obstacles along the way.
However, the only way to avoid getting to a desired goal, if you have a good plan, is to stop working toward it or to return to square one.
Persistence assures your arrival at your desired goal.
Persistence is fueled by passion. It’s always a good idea to check just how committed and passionate we are from time to time. If that passion needs to be rekindled so that we can stay persistent in pursuing our goals we need to throw some fuel on the fire.
Persistence is essential if you are to be successful.
Warmly
