Self-Dispcipline: Persistence

persistence is the ability to maintain action regardless of your feelings.you press on even when you feel like quitting.  persistence is also the ability to endure in the face of opposition or adversity.
persistence people usually stand out from their environment and are often misunderstood or ridiculed because they can make those around them feel uncomfortable.

In any discussion of the attribute of successful people, persistence is always mentioned, often as the or one of the most important factor of success.
major success seldom comes early or without a great deal of effort. often the only difference between those who succeed and those who don't.
Persistence is the iron quality of character. It is that ability to continue with the course of action despite the difficulty or opposition. Persistence is to the character of a man as a carbon is to steel. It is the absolutely indispensable quality that goes hand in hand with all great success in life. I would not have been where I am today if I would have not develop this character of persistence. Just like any other successful person, we all go through life difficulties and hardships, but what separates the successful and the unsuccessful is this ability to persist in pursuing our dreams. So, many people give up so early upon their dreams in life. As Michael Jordan once said “I have failed over and over and over again in my life, that is why I succeeded”

7 habits of highly persistent people

    1.An all- consuming vision: they have goals or vision that motivate and drive then.
2.Burning desire: they want it bad, really badly and they never look for an excuse or a way out
3.Inner confidence: they know what they want and are seldom swayed by the opinion of the masses

4.Highly developed habit: they have come to rely upon their self-discipline and developing habits they can count on to continue down the path towards their eventual goals
5.Ability or adjust and adapt their action and plan
6.Commitment to lifelong learning: they have realize that any goal worth reaching will take time, effort and continuously learning new skills and thinking patterns.

7.Role models that act as guides and mentors: most have a carefully chosen group of people they admire and emulate.

4 Keys to Discovering Your Divine Purpose

This is one of my favorite scriptures because inside it lie some beautiful keys to discovering your divine purpose. Take a look at the words themselves…. 1. Consider being Christ’s workmanship . Being Christ’s workmanship means that you are a custom creation–there is no one like you. Nobody else has the stuff that you have and nobody has been created in the way that you were created. You are a tailor-made, one-of-a-kind creation. So… you can relax and just know that. Because of this, you should never try to imitate and replicate what’s already been done. The world needs what only you have. Part of the discovery process is figuring out what it is that only you have and then committing to that. But you have to understand that that is your design and it is already within in. Any time you look outside yourself to find something that is only within, you miss the mark. Again, it’s all inside you… already. “For we are Christ’s workmanship...

How to Set Systems Instead of Goals: A Life-Changing Approach Inspired by Jim Rohn - Part 2

Most people set goals at the start of the year—big, exciting dreams like lose 20 pounds , start a business , or save more money . But here’s the hard truth: Goals alone don’t create results—systems do. Jim Rohn, one of the greatest motivational teachers of all time, often said: "Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day."

Example: Run a marathon in 6 months. Systems are processes. They tell you how you’ll get there. Example: Run 5 km every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and increase by 1 km each week.       Why Systems Beat Goals Goals Have an End Point, Systems Create Continuity Once you hit a goal, you often stop. Systems keep you improving for life. Goals Rely on Motivation, Systems Build Habits Motivation fades; habits run on autopilot. Goals Ca...
