Persistence | The Key To Success
People want things now, quickly, with no persistence. I believe this is because of the quick nature of the world today.
People want things now, quickly, with no persistence. I believe this is because of the quick nature of the world today. With packages, notifications, text messages and social media being so instant, most of us have lost the ability to be persistent when things take longer than expected, whether it be making a million dollars, or flying out to Italy to find the love of your life. but I believe that persistence, hard work & Suffering Is what gives things value. For example, if everyone had a six-pack then it would hold no value because everyone would have it. The whole point is that it’s difficult & takes persistence to keep going. Embrace the difficulty. Value is fundamentally linked to difficulty. If you want something to value whether it be a success, a girlfriend, or a good body you should be thinking about consistency, discipline, persistence & hard & suffering pain, not quick & easy fixes to your problems. you should be thinking “this is going to be hard but I’m going to persist through it anyways”. Because when it is done, you & everyone else will value it, you will only value things that you work for because you know what you had to go through to get said thing in the first place.
The times you’ve failed, don’t think about them as failures, think about them as lessons that are sculpting & building you into the man you need to be. I know that sounds cliche as hell but it’s true.
Success > failure
Ambition > complacency
As long as you never give up, you will make it in anything you are working towards, the only thing that stops people is that they give up at some point along the journey. All you need to do is to keep going, your going to find your solution & over time through the ups & downs, you will soon figure it out & success will come to you.
Persistence is the fundamental measure of man, It beats talent & intelligence Because, If you keep going, If you never give up, If you never accept No as an answer, Then the game can never end & you will never lose.
