Perseverance – persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.

What is perseverance?

Perseverance is commitment, hard work, patience, endurance.

Perseverance is being able to bear difficulties calmly and without complaint.

Perseverance is trying again and again.

How do we not lose our way in this difficult time?

How do we maintain our clarity, stamina and faith as we experience disruptions, set-backs and obstacles?

How do we persevere on behalf of the people, places and causes we love?

Like it or not, there will be difficult times in our lives, whatever it is, it’s essential that you don’t lose hope. You must have hope that you will go through it. If you don’t, you will only drag yourself down. You will enter a vicious cycle where your negative attitude makes the situation worse, which makes you even more negative.

To not lose hope you must have faith. In my case, I believe that God is in control of my life and has a good plan for me. No matter how bad the situation looks, I’ve learned to trust Him, even if I don’t understand how things will work. Time and again, things turn out to be good, often in a way that I couldn’t understand earlier. Going through difficult times is hard, but going through them alone is even harder. You need a group of positive people who can support you. You should become a part of a community that cares and encourages one another. If you don’t, my suggestion is to start looking for one. Don’t wait until you need it, because by then it will be too late. You need the community before difficult times come.

What separates success and failure is one thing. That is perseverance.

Identify your goal. Your goal may be to climb Mount Everest, to stop smoking, to get a better job, to lose weight, to gain more self control, to get yourself out of harmful habitual habits, or anything you can think of and desire to achieve. Educate yourself about your goal and develop a plan to achieve your goal. Realize that if your goal is very lofty that you will likely face multiple challenges and failures along the way. It is important to spiritually, and mentally, prepare yourself for these failures.

Nobody ever succeeded by not trying. Many people procrastinate in taking the first step because they fear failure. Failure is guaranteed when the first step is not taken. If you fail, realize what it is that caused you to fail and get back up. Keep on trying. If you stupidly make the same mistakes over and over you must not get depressed. Take a new approach to the situation or purpose in yourself to try harder.

Remember “Winners never quit and quitters never win”

Do not keep trying things that will damage you unless you have a clear path to improvement.

Perseverance is about pursuing a higher goal and developing an ability to deal with setbacks and failure on the way. Persevering is a combination of mindset and habit. Automatically it’s about having the stamina to actually keep going and doing the right things. Mentally it’s about knowing where to go and how to deal with setbacks in the right way. Perseverance alone will not make you successful, but without it you will never get anywhere, and with it you can go further than most people.

Never ever, ever give up and never; ever keep on to elements draining you from live.

Love, Living, Live.
