What makes us similar?
We all have to go through LIFE…
LIFE can be split into mainly 4 components:
Making a Decision
Failure
Change
Perseverance
One of the journeys in LIFE is learning about perseverance.
Perseverance is to persist steadfastly in pursuit of an
undertaking, task, journey, or goal, even if hindered by distraction,
difficulty, obstacles, or discouragement.
Some may say that perseverance is stubbornness. The two are
greatly different.
Stubbornness
is trying the same thing over and over again, even when it doesn't work.
Perseverance is
trying something else when what you're doing doesn't work.
Perseverance
is a constructive, productive, beneficial trait and more importantly one of the
greatest gifts we will receive in the journey of life. This trait is a piece of
evidence, a basis, and an affirmation of your passion.
Without the path of
decision, failure, change and perseverance, a passion cannot be called a
passion. We are unable to make any justifications to others but more
importantly even to ourselves. Even if we have met our targets and goals, we
will feel a sense of dissatisfaction. Therefore, to achieve one of the sweetest
rewards in life of attaining your passion, perseverance must be part of your
life story.
3 ways to get Perseverance into your Story
Be comfortable with being uncomfortable
When we meet failures, we tend to be shaken and doubt
our “passions”.
With failures, we are faced with two options.
The comfortable choice of quitting or settling for just something that is comfortable- This choice is easy because it takes away the sufferings, humiliations or embarrassments that we were supposed to face.
The uncomfortable choice to keep going and acknowledge
our mistakes. This choice is difficult but it brings us to change/transformation,
the crucial first step towards perseverance.
Get out of
that comfort zone & choose what is uncomfortable
Ask “HOW” instead of “WHY”
at times things can simply be unexplained.Instead of relying on that 50% chance of “WHY?”, rely on the 100% chance of “HOW?”.
“How?” opens your doors to unlimited opportunities and
gives you mountains of sources to keep going.
Get Support
Keep in
mind that you are not alone. Remember those
closest to you, your family and
friends. Seek social support;
others can be the greatest motivating factor to
keep you
going, igniting your spirit to endure and pull through.
Perseverance
is all about testing your limits. It prepares you and grants you strength to
prevail in life.
DO NOT GIVE UP & Stick it out till the END
"Having the simplest perseverance, create Legends"
