YOU CAN TRAIN YOURSELF THROUGH BEING PERSISTENCE
Persistence is a state of mind, therefore it can be cultivated.
Like all state of mind, persistence is based upon definite causes, among them
these;
a.
Definiteness of
purpose. Knowing what one wants is
the first and perhaps the most important step toward the development of
persistence. A strong motive forces one to surmount many difficulties.
b.
Desire. It is comparatively easy to acquire and to maintain
persistence in pursuing the object of intense desire.
c.
Self-reliance. Belief in one’s ability to carry out a plan encourages
one to follow the plan through which persistence. (Self-Reliance can be
developed through the principle of autosuggestion).
d.
Definiteness of
plans. Organised plans, even
though they may be weak and entirely impractical, encourage persistence.
e.
Accurate knowledge. Knowing that one’s plans are sound, based upon
experience or observation, encourages persistence; “guessing” instead of “knowing”
destroys persistence.
f.
Cooperation. Sympathy, understanding and harmonious cooperation
with others tends to develop persistence.
g.
Will power. The habit of concentrating one’s thoughts upon the
building of plans for the attainment of a definite purpose leads to
persistence.
h.
Habit. Persistence is the direct result of habit. The mind
absorbs and becomes a part of the daily experiences upon which it feels. Fear,
the worst of all enemies, can be effectively cured by forced repetition of acts
of courage. Everyone who has seen active services in war knows this.
