This is the very important reason why you Should Persevere
Perseverance is a valuable skill to cultivate because it can help us overcome obstacles and achieve our goals. Persistence is not always easy, but it is a skill that can be learned with practice. In this blog post, we'll look at why perseverance is important. Perseverance begins with a clearly defined goal and a well-thought-out plan for achieving it. Sticking to that plan even when things get tough takes discipline, dedication, and a positive attitude. Perseverance also entails being adaptable and flexible, willing to change course when necessary but never losing sight of the end goal.Individuals who persevere are passionate about what they do and are more likely to stick to their goals and work through difficulties.
Perseverance is especially important in today's world, where we face more challenges and setbacks than ever before. With instant access to information and constant comparison on social media, it's easy to feel inadequate or as if we'll never achieve our goals. But if we give up whenever things get difficult, we'll never get anywhere.
I had planned to leave Accra a few weeks ago to follow up on something I was working on. I went to one of the transportation companies that uses the route I was taking, which was in Northern Ghana. When I arrived and prepared to purchase my ticket, I was informed that I would need to go to the bus terminal to board the bus on the date I was scheduled to travel. Now, the main bus terminal at Circle is a long distance from my home in Pokuase.
I pleaded with them to meet the bus at their sub terminal, which was close to my house. They said I couldn't do it unless I bought the ticket at a bus terminal near my house. So I went back to their substation only to be told that they were out of tickets. I asked what I could do to get a ticket, and they said nothing could be done unless I returned to Accra's main station at Circle.
I became agitated and told them I couldn't do it because I had just returned from the circle office and this is what they had asked me to do. I insisted that they call their office and resolve the problem so that I could get a ticket. I was given the opportunity to speak with the manager at the main office, who informed me that this could not be done online unless I returned to the Circle headquarters. I told him I wouldn't do it. I insisted that I would not return to circle and would not leave the sub office until everything was resolved.
After back and forth for about thirty minutes, I was finally given the chance to buy my ticket and even get the exact seat I desired.This is the result of persistence.I genuinely think that overcoming difficult obstacles or tests requires tenacity. One of the best feelings in life is the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction you get from finishing or accomplishing something you had serious doubts about in the first place.
Perseverance is one of the most critical ingredients for success. It is the ability to keep pushing forward, even when faced with obstacles, setbacks, and failures.
You don't have to be the smartest or most talented person to overcome adversity. You'll be surprised at what you can achieve if you work hard, stay determined, and stay resilient. The key is to believe that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, rather than waiting for circumstances to change.
Success is a Decision.
Your resolve will be put to the test numerous times. Be brave when this happens. Be brave. And persevere in the face of adversity. Here are ten examples of how perseverance is essential to success:
Defy overwhelming odds. You will be up against impossible odds. You'll have the option of continuing or giving up.
Overcome obstacles. You will face difficulties and roadblocks. You'll have the option of avoiding them or letting them beat you.
Negativity should be avoided. There will be those who will discourage you from following your dreams. You'll have the option of letting them demoralize you or pressing on.
Leave mistakes in the past. There will be times when you make a mistake. You'll have the option of blaming others or accepting responsibility, learning from your mistakes, and moving on.
Accept failure. Doors will be slammed in your face. (Ouch.) You'll have the option of accepting "no" as an answer or pressing on until you get a "yes."
Receive negative feedback. Someone will tell you to step up your game from time to time. You can either take the feedback as a slap in the face or as an opportunity for personal growth.
Recover from failure. There will be times when you will be crushed by disappointment. You'll have the option of feeling sorry for yourself or getting back on track.
It's simple to find reasons why you can't—or rather, shouldn't—keep going and forge ahead, but each time you succumb to a moment of weakness, you'll pay a price. It is a fact that everything you do in the present will directly affect your life in the future. Even though you might consider a single gesture to be inconsequential, small actions have the potential to develop into habits.
There will come a point when your mind and body will beg you to stop. The easiest option is to succumb to temptation and quit. That is when your true character will be revealed. Will you take the easy way out and surrender, or will you fight the better fight? Only you can answer that question.
