The Power of Persistence

Have you ever felt like giving up or not even try because the road to hitting your ultimate goal seemed too long or the target was too far out of reach? Well if you're a human, you're not alone. In fact, every successful person that you may have come across or known have faced moments of self-doubt & failure. The key thing that stands between their current self from their past self is taking on challenges head on, trying and trying a ton, and seeing those so called failures as lessons. With those lessons being learned, they use that to their advantage and better navigate life if they are faced upon the same challenges again.  

If you feel like you're steering off the path that you're trying to stay on, let me help you steer back onto that path. Keep scrolling 👀

Try Again!

Here are reasons why you need to keep going:

Look at every failure as a lesson. If you shift the perspective of seeing each attempt as a lesson and reflect on what you did and how you can do it differently on your next try, you can see that these moments teaches you something valuable. Use these lessons to your advantage, refine your approach, and keep working at it so that you're closer to you reaching your goal.

Growth fosters in the struggle. Some millionaires and big time billionaires were not initially born as a millionaire or billionaire. Some may have gone up the corporate ladder and somehow hit rockbottom once in their life. However, since they had nothing to lose being at rockbottom, the sky was the limit for them. As you can see, struggles, even the worst of the worst, can build resilience and strength over time. Think of every challenge as a workout for your character and determination. Don't let up! Like Dory in Finding Nemo once said, just keep swimming.

The next step could be the breakthrough. Many people quit just before they reach their tipping point. But imagine if they didn't. That next try could be the one. Don’t let that be you. Be persistent because once you've accomplish your ultimate goal with blood, sweat, & tears, that moment is rare and no one can take that from you.

TIPS ON STAYING DRIVEN

Enjoy the Process

Sometimes we take life too seriously and I want you to know it's okay to find humor and smile even when you don't feel like it. There's no need to be tense. Find the balance to be ruthless and but also find calmness and ease in the process.

Set Small Rewards Along the Way

Ever play a video game where you would receive milestone rewards throughout the game? You still haven't finished the game yet you receive some perk because of the progress you're making.

Transfer that same exact approach in your life. For example, if you're about to hit your 4th week of going to the gym consistently in the new year, give yourself a small reward like giving yourself time to do an activity you enjoy doing or going online for some retail therapy.

After my long runs on the weekends, I typically enjoy myself with an almond croissant and coffee.

Set Yourself Up Now To Reap the Benefits Later

It's important to understand that the actions you do today can more so affect your future. Set yourself up for success. Do the things that your future self would thank you for. Plant the seed today to bear the fruit later.
