What is Perseverance? (Secret prize inside)

What is Perseverance? (And how can you have it?)

Is there something in your heart that you are persevering to achieve? If so, you aren't the only one. Today many others are looking for the advice they need so they might obtain their desires and goals. So what is perseverance and what is required?

The key to perseverance is that despite of your abilities, discouragements, and tribulations you continue moving forward. Perseverance requires tenacity, and that means time and dedication because it's sometimes easy to stop progressing. Think about some of the successes society has seen in the past. These records didn't happen on the first try.



2 Examples of Steadfastness and Perseverance:

Thomas Edison: Inventor

Edison was asked if he seemed like a loser after thousands of attempts and if he should stop, Edison responded with this famous quote, "Young man, why would I quit now? And why would I consider stopping now? I uncovered over 9,000 ways that an electric light bulb will not work. Victory is near in my hands" He later figured it out around the 10,000 tests mark.

Roger Bannister: He ran the world's fastest mile.

Before May 6, 1954 no runner had been able accomplish a mile under 4 minutes. Most athletes had been tricked into thinking this as too challenging or even impossible, Roger saw he could do it. But after a stinging failure in the 1952 Olympics, he actually considered quitting. He spent a long time deciding if he should continue. But he decided to persevere. In just two years he defeated the barrier to the first faster than four minute mile and was the new world record holder. Funny enough, many runners have since done this after realizing the benchmark he set.

What is perseverance for your situation?

Everyone can can persevere regardless of past mistakes. Your tenacity will appear different than your friends or spouses approach. An individual may physically try harder and prefer practicing more. The next person will step back and reevaluate about how to overcome. What does focus look like for you? It doesn't matter if you don't mimic other people in your effort to persevere; what matters most is that you don't quit. But no matter what you do, make a decision to persevere today.  It will be worth it!
