Persistence is continuing a course of action in spite of difficulties and opposition. Persistence is not sexy, is not easy, is time consuming, repetitive and monotonous. Persistence with you taking action on your goals, working on them each day, week, month, year and grinding is what it takes to reach your success. Remember, many small blows of the axe will fall the largest oak. It’s not what you do once in a while that counts, it’s what you do persistently that counts.

 

Persistence and grinding is what makes winning worth it. Only through consistent action and perseverance do our dreams start to shape in front of our eyes. Remember, it takes 10 years of persistent work to create an overnight success. Persistence is the key that unlocks all of your dreams. Failure to persist and you persistently fail.

 

NOTHING GREAT IS ACHIEVED WITHOUT PERSISTENCE

Think for a moment of all the greatest wonders of the world that man has built. From The Great Pyramid of Giza, The Taj Mahal, The Great Wall of China, The Colosseum, The Burj Khalifa and many more wonderful engineering masterpieces man has built. Now without the magic of persistence none of these wonders would not have been built. The persistence to overcome obstacles, the persistence to overcome criticism, the persistence to overcome lack of resources, the persistence to work without seeing results right away. The best and greatest achievements, feats and records only come about through constant applied persistence. Becoming so singly focused on one task that nothing can stand in your way. Become the type of person that doesn’t give up and become the type of person that persist in spite of external circumstances.

 

PERSIST UNTIL

Persisting until is the only thing you can do to achieve your dreams. The only other choice is failure, which only occurs when you stop persisting and give up on your dreams. Remember failure is usually feedback to start again more intelligently. Persist until you did what you set out to do. Persisting is what sets the doers apart from the rest who tried, failed and stopped trying. Let the below illustrate how persistence directly correlates with the chances of success.
