Perseverance and Persistence

Sometimes it takes a lot of patience and persistence before the results you’re looking for begin to appear. Changing the habits around your thought processes, actions, and words can be a slow, gradual process. But if you stick with something long enough, then you will start making progress toward where you want to be. Inspiration, answers, and results often come just when all seems lost. You just have to trust that you’ll find what you seek as long as you keep moving toward it.

If it feels like you’re going nowhere fast, then think back to some of your past victories. As vividly as you can, recall memories of things you accomplished, especially things you thought you’d never complete. Try to see those things from the perspective of your past self; you kept going despite the difficulty because you believed you’d eventually get there, and when you did, you were over the moon with excitement and satisfaction. Spend as much time in those memories as you need before coming back to the present and using the motivation from that trip down memory lane to continue working on your current goals.

All of this has gradually gotten easier for me since I’ve learned a lot of different things over time. Now, when I’m faced with a difficult task, I’m in a much better position to break it down into smaller tasks and steadily work on them bit by bit until I’ve conquered them. I still deal with fear at times but I’ve also gotten better at pushing past the fear and not letting it stop me. If I can do this stuff, then so can anyone else, and I wish you all the best on your journey.
