Many people will tell you in life that to achieve what you propose, you must persist. To persist, in some way or another, is something that we are told all the time, there is even a popular phrase that says: Insist, Persist, Resist and Do not Desist. But, How to persist? How to apply persistence effectively in our life? How, in some way or another, to achieve success through persistence? There are 3 types of Persistence that we can apply:
1.- Blind persistence: Many people really spend their lives without realizing that they are persisting blindly in what does not work for them.
For example: many people talk about wanting wealth and that they want financial wealth, but you see them all the time working in a job.
When they finish or somehow dismiss them from that job, they look for another one; and they spend their whole lives as employees, not knowing that this is the slowest path, or even the wrong way to achieve wealth. It's just not something that works; and people continue to persist and persist and persist blindly in this objective, thinking that this way they will achieve their dreams. In a few words: always try the same method or path, always obtaining the same result.
2.- Random persistence: Many times people, also in their lives, apply random persistence. For example: They test a business, they try to create a company, then they leave and look for a job, after looking for a job, they look for another and they look for a promotion, they want this, they want the other; They want to reach success by persisting in a random way.
But, somehow they do not imagine that what they are doing, really is to try different ways that, eventually, if you do not have a structure or a plan to reach success, they will not lead you to such success.
3 .- Planned Persistence: It depends on the type of goal, goal or dream you set, and so will be the motivation you have to persist in life. The advantage of persisting in a planned manner is that it guarantees success no matter what you do; If you simply persist, you do not stop, you do not stop acting and you do not stop taking action at all times, that goal or that dream that you want to achieve, will be achieved. Obviously, this is the kind of persistence that suits us.
And you, what kind of persistence do you apply to your life?
