What Does Perseverance Mean?

One of the single most important skills you need to be successful in anything you do is perseverance.

Perseverance is what separates winners from losers.

Because without it...

You'll quit as soon as things get hard...

Just like everybody else whose names won't be remembered past their expiration.

If you want to accomplish your biggest goals and build a life of true significance...

You need to develop the skill of perseverance.

What Does Perseverance Mean?

Perseverance is an unwillingness to quit.

Those with true perseverance never take their foot off the gas...

Even through the hard times.

Perseverance is a skill rooted in mental toughness.

It's built by seeing things through to the end.

It's built by completing the things you set out to do.

It's built by doing these things even when the conditions are anything but ideal.

Why is Perseverance Important?

Most people fail because they quit when things get hard.

Instead of sticking with whatever it is they set out to do...

They make excuses to validate their decision to quit.

These people lack perseverance.

...and if you'd like to separate yourself from them...

I highly encourage you to develop some perseverance

When they quit ... keep moving.

When they make excuses ... find solutions.

When they choose easy ... choose hard.

This is how you can start to build the skill of perseverance.

It isn't just important.

It's everything.

Because without perseverance, you'll never achieve anything meaningful.

With it, you can achieve anything.

How to Develop Perseverance

Perseverance isn't something you can build by reading a book or taking a course.

It's a skill you must exercise.

So ... How do you do that?

Here's how you can start building the perseverance required to see your goals through to the end:

1. Do The Work When You Don't Want To

Perseverance is built in the moments you don't want to do something but do it anyway.

When you don't want to get up...

Get up anyway.

When you don't want to work out...

Work out anyway.

When you don't want to do the work...

Do it anyway.

Every time you execute when you don't feel like it...

You are building the skill of perseverance.

Every time you quit...

You are weakening the skill of perseverance. 

2. Keep The Promises You Make to Yourself

If you make a promise...

No matter what that promise may be...

Make sure you keep it.

The foundation of perseverance is discipline.

That discipline is built by keeping the promises you make to yourself.

...But so is perseverance.

Because by sticking with your promises no matter what...

You are exercising the skill of perseverance by forcing yourself to keep moving, even when it's the last thing you want to do.

3. Embrace Discomfort

Perseverance can only be built in times of discomfort.

It takes very little effort to do something when it's convenient.

It takes very little effort to do something when you feel like it.

It takes very little effort to do something when the conditions are ideal.

...But everyone can execute and do the things they know they need to do when everything is going smoothly.

It's when chaos, monotony, obstacles, struggle, and hardship are introduced that it becomes hard to execute.

Perseverance is the skill necessary to keep executing through these uncomfortable and difficult times.

That's also why perseverance can only be built during these times.

Because as you continue to take action despite the conditions and struggles that present themselves...

You are conditioning yourself physically and mentally to persevere.

Which means if you'd like to build the skill of perseverance...

You have to consistently train yourself to execute in a state of discomfort.

4. Don't Quit

Quitting is the opposite of persevering.

Instead of seeing things through to the end...

It's throwing in the towel and walking away.

Most people quit, which is why most people never amount to much of anything.

The literal best thing you can do to build perseverance is to keep moving...

Especially when you want to quit.

Reaching your goals is hard.

Winning is hard.

Life is hard.

Don't quit.

If you want the perseverance necessary to build a great life...

That's the key.
