Perseverance breeds success.

I have failed, given up on myself and life itself, stumbled and broken but could not rise. Then it occurred to me that I cannot stay on the ground or continue to permit brokenness, frustration and any fiasco to keep occurring in my life. For you and me to rise or succeed in our life pursuits, business and in our entire life, WE HAVE TO PERSEVERE. Perseverance is an important ingredient in life for achieving your life goals. It is what can make you wax great and sit on your throne of greatness. Let me refer to one of my best verses written in the Bible which is applicable to us all if we see a positive meaning in it—– Luke 21:19, “Stand firm, and you will win life” (New Living Translation) and James 1:4 “Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” So what is perseverance? According to dictionary.com, “perseverance is the steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.”

Perseverance means to continue unwaveringly, particularly in something that is difficult or tedious. It requires regular practice to develop the quality of perseverance. Only a persevering person with resilience and determination can achieve his or her goal by perseverance. Perseverance is the unremitting application of mind to a work once begun. It is a secret of success in life. It is the indistinguishable brother of patience. Disappointments, snafu, setbacks and fiascos occur in our lives but we should never yield to them. In fact, failures are the stepping-stones to success.

There are many challenges that life would bring to us which we all have to go through before we can accomplish something worthy in life. Perseverance is the only enduring quality inculcated in or learned by every successful individual. For every process in life, patience, persistence, perseverance, are indispensable qualities required for survival. Perseverance is the sine qua non for any worthwhile achievement. Without it, no awesome accomplishment is conceivable. Regardless of the possibility that a man is not exceptionally gifted, nor exceedingly proficient, but rather of an ordinary worth, he can still prevail in life essentially by his persistence. Each activity or process or steps taken in life surely has its response. A man who is exceptionally smart, and an erudite virtuoso, however is indolent by nature, unscrupulous, unenthusiastic, and accepts defeat easily, however can barely succeed in life, since he doesn’t know how to utilize perseverance and work in the correct bearing.

Can Perseverance be learned overtime?

The uplifting news is that perseverance can be learned eventually. The most essential stride in learning perseverance is to decide on objectives that are important to you. You wouldn’t endeavour to achieve an objective that you couldn’t care less about. At that point make an arrangement with little quantifiable strides or bold steps to meet your objective. Get on your feet and walk on that path that leads to fulfilling your purpose in life. Do not relent on your effort but just keep moving on. Remain resolute on finishing the little strides with a specific end goal to stop any form of negativity and distraction. The little achievements or victories will keep you enthused to proceed toward your objective in life. You know perseverance will surely take you to your destination in life. Be attentive to distinguish potential impediments and get ready for adversities – don’t give people or even the society a chance to ruin you. Learning the act of perseverance won’t be simple, however it is very possible.
