Learning how I process things
On my journey of becoming everything, I can be for the past 5 years or so now I have learned more about how I tackle things. I have analyzed my processes throughout and adjusted my reactions. When I am working on a big goal that means a lot I give myself a pep talk ahead of time for inspiration. I can do anything I want to do. I have that confidence in my abilities.
You need to adopt a certain mindset to achieve your goals. You will get tired and get off track from time to time and that’s ok. Just as long as not too much time goes by before you get back to it. But this is for the extremes. For persistence and perseverance to prevail we must fight and fight hard daily to keep going even when we don’t think we have the strength.
It’s ok to stumble
There are lots of days that I seem to stumble due to whatever I have going on. This day in time is still pretty chaotic so it seems to make sense. But I have stopped looking at it negatively. When my mind wanders thinking about things that are going on, I tend to shift the thoughts toward how I want them to be.
That’s my inspiration to move forward. I have the discipline and diligence to get my goals accomplished no matter what. If you don’t have the mental discipline to push through then you have to develop it. It starts with the desire, so get on that.
Just keep pushing
Once I recognize that I am off track I push and push to regain ground. I pay attention to what my strengths are and then I attack them first. I will then edit, edit, edit along the way. I have to keep that needle moving forward no matter what. Even if they are small incriminates. Moving is progress.
My persistence is my desire to succeed. My perseverance is the thought of how well I am at being persistent. It’s a cool little cycle. Come up with your own strategies to accomplish things. Make it a core value within you and always stick to it. Being persistent is a real mindset and you should apply it in every single area of your life.
