Definition: Persistence

When setting and achieving your goals persistence is one of the most crucial elements in attaining your goals.nnThe basis behind persistence is will power and desire. When these two elements are combined in a proper manner you will be amazed at what you will start to achieve.nWith the power of persistence you will be able to overcome all obstacles and setbacks that will come along as you are on your path to achieving your goals.nnThe strength of your persistence is the difference in attaining your goal or giving up when the first setback arrives.nnYour persistence is determined by your desire. Desire is the starting point for all that you wish to achieve. You must keep this in mind, if you do not have a strong desire, you will not have the persistence necessary to attain your goal.nPersistence is a strong state of mind built around causes that you can train yourself to have.nnThere are 8 Causes:nn1) Definite Purpose: Knowing exactly what you want is probably the most important element to have when developing persistence.nn2) Strong Desire: Must possess in order to attain your goals. When you desire something strong enough this element should be very easy to acquire.nn3) Self-Reliant: When you believe in your own ability to follow your plan that you have laid out to achieve your goal. The more belief you have the stronger your power of persistence will be. You must believe you are already enough.nn4) Definite Plan: Your plans must be thoroughly organized. The more organized you are, the easier it is to stick to your plans. By sticking to your plans with consistent action will build strong persistence.nn5) Accurate Knowledge: When you know that the plans to attain your goals are sound based upon pervious experience, observation or follow step by step instructions from another that has achieved what you desire builds strong persistence. When you guess, you weaken the power of persistence.nn6) Cooperation From Others: Having the support and understanding from others builds persistence through the power of faith that others have in you.nn7) Will Power: When you focus your thoughts in attaining your goals, your desire will become stronger and when your desire becomes stronger so will your persistence. Focusing each day will soon become a habit and habit is what you wish to attain for a stronger will power that will lead to strong persistence.nn8) Habit: The direct result of persistence. With your daily actions your mind will absorb the experiences and your persistence will grow stronger each day through the habits you have created.nnRemember these 4 steps that will lead you to the habit of Persistence.nn1) Definite purpose backed by a strong burning desire to achieve your goals.n2) A definite plan that has action taken daily to its fulfillment.n3) A closed mind. Not to everyday life but to all the negativity that will come from those dream stealers that come disguised as friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors.n4) Mentors and/or associates to work with who also wish to attain their own goals that will provide encouragement and insight to help you follow through with your plans to achieve your goals.nOne last thing. Riches, wealth and abundance do not respond to wishes. They only respond to definite plans that are backed by a truly strong desire that is followed through with actions that are taken on a daily basis.nn© Copyright 2007 - All Rights ReservednDelton Doucet
