Persistence Needs To Be Applied With a Deliberate and Considered Approach To Your Personal Development
When it comes to your
own life and self development, it is necessary to eliminate the concept of
"failure" from your thinking.
Instead, treat any perception of
failure as a mere setback and as a learning opportunity experience.
Persistence is the willingness and resilience to
keep pressing on, even when you feel like your stores of commitment, determination,
optimism, and passion are all but dried up. Take comfort in the knowledge that
these internal wells of personal strength, courage and energy will never be totally empty, even when it might seem so.

| 7 Key Elements of Life Full of Adversity and Challenges |
Many battles require physical, emotional and/or
spiritual strength to win. Some battles, however, also require persistence. As
Mahatma Gandhi said, "Strength does
not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."
Having an indomitable will ─ an innate and
deep-seated capacity for persistence and perseverance ─ can make all the difference
in the world.
As Buddha said, "In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always
wins ─ not through strength but by perseverance."
As they are for the streams and rivers in this
world, persistence and perseverance can be the roots of your own victories over
confrontations, adversity and the obstacles, hurdles, problems, difficulties,
and obstructive people that you will come across on your personal journey
through this thing we call life.
