Today I looked up the definition of persistence in the dictionary. Here is what it said:
per·sist (pər-sɪst)–v. 1. To continue firmly and steadfastly despite obstacles. 2. To continue in existence: endure—per·sist’ence, per·sist’ency n. -- per·sist’ent adj. – per·sist’ent·ly adv.
So straightforward—“To continue firmly and steadfastly despite obstacles”. It’s so easy to get distracted and lose sight of our goals in the fast paced world that we live in. Our lives have become so complex and our wheels are spinning so fast that it almost feels like we are no longer in control of what happens to us.
That is why it is so important to constantly remind yourself of what is important to you. Reaffirm your goals today. Post them in a place where you can see them. Continue to persist towards the achievement of your goals.
Today, write down this definition of persistence and put in somewhere where you can see it everyday. Tape it to the side of your computer. Tape it to your bathroom mirror. Read it everyday to remind yourself that in order to achieve your goals, whatever they may be, you must look beyond any obstacles present and continue “firmly and steadfastly”.
Continue to persist. Make it happen.
