50 Persistence Quotes To Keep You On Track
Need a little inspiration to keep pushing? These quotes about persistence will help you succeed.
PrasongTakham/123RF (background images) We all have personality traits that distinguish from others. Some of our personality traits show our different characters, which are largely based on how we were raised and the things we have experienced in life.
We all have good and bad traits and something that we all seem to sometimes lack is persistence, so using the collection of persistence quotes below can help us stay the course.
According to google.com, “persistence is a firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.” Success and persistence are twins, they cannot live without the other.
Regardless of the goals that we have, we often fail at sticking to our original plan.
Have you ever made plans to stick by something, but you got busy and put it off? I know I am guilty of it sometimes. When life comes in and gives us unexpected things, we tend to push our personal goals and desires off.
According to processexcellentnetwork.com, “The application of persistence to any task, interaction or goal is often what distinguishes between those who are successful and those who fail in any endeavor. Indeed, a lack of persistence or "giving up too soon" is one of the most common reasons for failure in any endeavor”.
When we decide to keep being persistent and not become lazy — that is when we develop a true love for what we are doing, because trying again and again becomes natural. Eventually, it becomes routine which leads to success in finding out the solution that you are trying to reach.
Persistence is vital when you are dreaming of that business or body that you have wanted for so long.
It can become overwhelming, but when you decide in your mind that nothing will get in the way of your dreams, then you will have nothing but success following right behind you.
If you believe that it is worth the fight and struggle to get to the dreams that you desire, other people will notice and begin to believe in you. Even if others do not notice in the time frame that you think they should, it is okay because as long as you keep going, someone will notice and fight with you for your dreams.
I mean, as a society we have to stick together — especially during times like we are in now. Become a person who perserveres — if you make it happen, you'll see successful results.
