Perseverance
It is an apt saying that "fire is the test of gold and adversity, of man". The key to success in any field
is the perseverance of a human being. Success is like a ladder where the person steeping in to it
has to undergo a lot of hard work to reach at the top. There would be many pitfalls and obstructions
but the fruit will be surely sweet. Hence, one must not run away from perseverance rather should
adopt in such a way that you are able to overcome your difficulties with it. It is an apt saying that "fire

work to reach at the top. There would be many pitfalls and obstructions but the fruit will be surely
sweet. Hence, one must not run away from perseverance rather should adopt in such a way that you
are able to overcome your difficulties with it. towards the success you aspire for. Motivation plays a
vital role in the constant persistence of a goal. If you are not motivated to achieve something, you
are most likely to drop its pursuit half-way. It is essential to be passionate about the aim that you
have set for yourself and constantly renew your motivation for it. The biggest success stories are of
those who have endured all hardships and refused to give up the goal which in all senses was wise
to pursue. A positive mindset is an incomparable asset. The positive thinking and outlook is
necessary for the success and development of an individual. Moreover, it helps you to
overcome negative feelings and evils surrounding you and your work.
If you feel that nothing can stop you from success and it will come to you eventually with hard work,
it actually will. The world can never stop a determined man from getting his worth when he sets his
mind to it. The ability to persevere stems from a great mind and makes the world recognize its
greatness in due course of time. A man with perseverance can be easily distinguished from the
group of people. Such a person has a different and unique personality which can impress the people
surrounding him or her.
You must have perseverance as a part of your personality if you wish to be known as a successful
individual. A man of perseverance is certainly going to do well in his or her life if principle of
perseverance is adopted.
Perseverance basically means to continue doing something in spite of obstacles. Bicyclists,
swimmers, and runners are a few examples of people demonstrating great levels of
perseverance, even moreso when pushing themselves to break an old record. Weight lifters
and mountain climbers continuously push themselves to maximum levels in order to
increase their strength.
Students find their way down the pathway of a better education as they increase their
knowledge and move into unfamiliar territory. Business executives rise above the ordinary
and set new limits in the social and business world. Even you have probably pushed yourself
at one point or another, especially if you've ever felt like giving up.
You may be asking what causes that deep desire within yourself to keep you holding on? It's
your belief and faith in yourself that you can persevere in spite of the odds. Perseverance is
the driving and staying power of "will." It musters all your strength and energy and directs
you toward your goal.
Toxic relationships and negative communications are very much barriers to our growth. The
pain and anger caused by these types of personal or business relationships can create
emotionally charged feuds that can escalate at any time. When these feuds occur, caustic
reactions cause inner storms to brew or upheavals affecting both physical and psychological
stability. Once you've developed and refined the gift of perseverance, you can continue in
spite of the toxic and negative communications that cause you pain.
When negative thinking and hurtful words penetrate your attitude, it's like listening to a
broken record telling you how you're going to fail, rather than succeed. Negative thoughts
or unhealthy suggestions from other people also fill both your conscious and unconscious
mind with psychological messages that ultimately lower your self-esteem. Negative
attitudes or unhealthy advice from others can also affect your body with physiological
responses which can endanger your health.
Perseverance is the key to helping you steer your way through negative and toxic feelings.
Perseverance is the fuel that motivates you to courageously fight your battles or defuse
them. Don't allow the poison in these venomous relationships to affect you. The greater
your self-esteem, the stronger your tolerance in dealing with negative situations. As you
create more peak experiences and positive moments in your life, the greater will be your
ability to persevere. Develop the will-power and desire to control your own destiny.
