I feel that I am persistent with the things that matter to me. I think I can do a better job thought when I am tired and don’t feel like doing those things, that is when I become less persistent.
Persistence and resilience is my strength. I try not to use the word failure because I truly have the mindset that everything happens for a reason. If you don’t get what you are working towards in that given moment – all that means is it is not time (the rejection is preparing me with the strength and fortitude to ensure my success when I win) OR my vision is too limited (God has bigger things for me life if I am open to receive). Keep moving in a positive direction and you will realize achievements and happiness beyond your imagination.
Well said!
I do believe that I’m persistent as I need to be with the things that matter most to me. Because I understand that Persistence helps build good character. And I’m passionate when it comes to building my character.
i agree with quinn, if i have enough energy and my mindset is set then i can be very persistent. though when i’m tired i’m not going to be as persistent, and sometimes my mindset isn’t where i want it to be that day so i have change it.
I think that I am persistent with what matters to me. In the past few months I’ve been working towards developing healthier habits. Sometimes I lose my consistency, but I am persistent in the way that I keep coming back to the mindset of working to get better every day.
Truthfully, I am persistent enough. I’ve been at the same goal for years and when adversity hit, I didn’t quit. I understood that I had to take a few steps back to find the best way forward
Well said. I do realize that taking a few steps backward can help in finding a new direction for the goal.
I believe I am as persistent as I need to be for the things that matter the most to me. Even when things are tough, I usually keep going. This is something I have worked hard for to build. An example of this for me is building habits. The habits I am trying to build now are challenging, yet I keep going and keep questioning what I could do better to better reach the habit.
I believe I am persistent. I keep pushing even during times when I don’t feel like working. But I think my persistence will really be put to the test this off season. I need to work on my cardio a lot and that is something I do not enjoy in training. My persistence to keep running will be put to the test in the coming months.
I feel that I am not persistent enough unless there is a deadline coming incredibly close.
I am not as persistent as I need to be. I am working towards my goals, but i don’t think i’m doing enough to achieve them sooner rather than later. I am taking small steps, whereas i could take larger steps to achieve the goal
I believe that I actually am persistent and that because of that, I am able to complete my work with my full focus and not lose my love or passion for what I am doing. This is because only if we persist, then we can achieve success.
I have come leaps and bounds when it comes to persistence. I understand that failure is inevitable and it’s something that usually comes along with progress. Now that I am more focused in my life and really value my family, life , and business, it is easier for me to have drive to accomplished the goals attached to the things that matter to me.
I am persistent with those matters in my life that have a sense of urgency. Usually it pertains to family, but learning to put me first.
I am learning to be persistent in things that I don’t like and that are difficult to work on. Infact I was about to give up working on something very important becaus it’s not yeilding the results and I am discouraged. But after listening to this video I got a new zeal to go on and keep trying until I succeed. Thank you.
