The dictionary defines persistent 
as... "Refusing to give up or let go;
persevering obstinately".Being 
really persistent requires 
developing a kind of tunnel vision 
so that our entire focus is on the 
goal and we can see nothing but
finding the way of achieving that 
goal.

When striving to reach a goal 
there will always be challenges to 
be met, hurdles to be jumped, or, 
even, the occasional unavoidable 
detour.

Like a roadmap that shows us the 
way to get from point A to point 
B, our best laid plans wont show 
us all the pitfalls and obstacles 
along the way.

However, the only way to avoid 
getting to a desired goal, if you 
have a good plan, is to stop 
working toward it or to return to
square one.

Persistence assures your arrival 
at your desired goal.

Persistence is fueled by passion. 
Its always a good idea to check 
just how committed and passionate 
we are from time to time. If that
passion needs to be rekindled
so that we can stay persistent in 
pursuing our goals we need to 
throw some fuel on the fire. 

Persistence is essential if you
are to be successful.
