POWER OF PERSISTENCE

MICHAEL EDIALE

Claude M. Bristol wrote, " It's the constant and determined effort that breaks down all resistance, sweeps away all obstacles."

Persistence play a vital role in becoming successful. The ability to press on and not give up when things get tough and stay strong till the end ensures victory. Everyone wants to succeed and achieve results but only few people are able to Persist till the end. Success and failure is distinguished by one's ability to persist. Persistence puts your strength to test and character in check. In times of crisis it is how rooted you are and how strong is your self-belief that determines your outcome.

I have seen people start up great business and talk about their great and impressive ideas. After some years, they are out of business or unable to implement their ideas. Thinking and talking is not enough. You must unleash the power of persistence in order to be victorious. The truth be told, victory awaits the most persevering and not the feeble minded. You must engage persistence to become victorious in life. Success comes with a fight, difficulty and challenges. You must be physically, mentally and emotionally prepared to contend, confront and subdue whatever comes your way. The challenges of life will always come to test your strength (capacity) and your character (Personality) 

Anyone who you know who had given up fighting surely is a loser and failure will definitely catch up with such an individual. There's nothing to be achieved in quitting. Any quitter is a losser. People who easily hang off their gloves never become victorious but victims to their failures. Whatever you desire to achieve persistence can make it happen for you. It will cost you a lot of time, energy, losses and series of disappointment and failures but you will get there when you don't back down. Victorious people never back down or get knocked out. They have an inner shock absorber that enables them bounce back faster like a rubber band when they are tempted to give up. They get backed up and stand out faster than they fall. Never allow a temporary Setback hold you back from fighting for your dream. Dreams do come true only for those who persevere. 

Have you seen boxers boxing in the ring? It is the boxer that has the staying power that outlast the opponent. You will always have opponents to fight on your victory journey. It is your level of persistence that will make you stand out. The last man standing on the battle ground is he who is persistent enough to withstand every challenges. You must be persist enough to fight hard. You must be ready to face whatever comes your way. You must not give up to temporary challenges and difficulties. You must be mentally and emotionally prepared for anything that comes your way. From my years of studying Peak performance, I discovered that many people fail for lack of persistence. You must be stubbornly persistent to fight the battles of life. You must conquer the fear of giving so quickly when you encounter challenges. Failures and difficulties comes to test the strength of our persistence. It is under pressure that our persistence test begins.

There is no great success without persistence. You must persist to win at against all odds and not surrender your dream to failures. When things seem to be going downwards around you. And, you can see your hope dangling towards the direction of discouragement. All you need to do is to hold on your goal. Be persistent enough to hold your grounds. Adversity always comes to put our strength and faith to test. Persistence is a test, resolve to give your best and not your worst. When you encounter challenges and setbacks, naturally you will feel tempted to give up and accept temporary defeat. If you are serrious about becoming victorious you will be motivated with the right energy to stay strong and bounce back from setbacks.

James Whitecomb Riley put it this way, " The most essential factor is persistence- the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dempened by the  discouragement  that must inevitable come."

Refuse to answer defeat. Accept and confess victory in every situation. Take your mind off the mistake or failure. You have only learned another way not to do it next time! Never allow any mistakes and failures make you lose focus. Persist and keep going forward towards the direction of your dream. Whenever things don't go your way, don't stop or look back. Keep going forward, that is the attitude for survival. Persistence makes everything different in the life of top achievers. When you persist enough your success is sure.

Persist until you succeed. Your ability to persist longer than anyone else is the one quality that guarantee great success in life. Persistence is Self-Discipline in action and the true measure of your belief in yourself. Resolve in advance that you will never, never give up!

The power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure this is the winner's quality. Persistence is the ability to face defeat again and again without giving up to push on in the face of great difficulty. Napoleon Hill, in his classic, Think and Grow Rich, wrote, " Before success comes in any man's life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat and perhaps, soke failures. When defeat over takes a man, the easiest and most logical thing is to quit. And that is exactly what the majority of men and women do."
