Success and Perseverance!

Perseverance & Self-Discipline is Necessary

2012-01-28T09:27:00.000-08:00

Sometimes we can all get discouraged because we feel like we will never reach our goals. Then there are those days that we feel like we are closer than close and have accomplished a lot. What can we do when we feel that overwhelming feeling of discouragement?

Remember, only our practicing patience and perseverance can us achieve the goal we are seeking to reach. Focus on your progress. Surely you've come further now than the day you started your journey. Take the time to look at those mishaps that we all make as learning experiences. They are a stepping stone to anyone's success. It is how we allow them to affect us that can be most detrimental to achieving anything.

As long as you stay determined to achieve your goal, put into practice perseverance and self-discipline, there is nothing that can stop you.

If you strive to apply yourself and good principles to your goal achievement in everyday matter, this will not escape notice of your counterparts and those you mentor. Your word will carry weight because your deeds coincide. However, be careful not to display a double standard. It can breed results hazardous to what you can achieve. As a result, your counterparts and mentorees may be more inclined to weaken faith in you. You must realize that people are paying attention, no matter their reason, therefore, it would be an extreme oversight to display an attitude of only caring about goal achievement and/or pursing goals that only satisfy you monetarily but be a mentor that displays values that satisfies spiritual values. Self satisfaction is important. It brings sort of peace of mind that’s irreplaceable. It shines through all the time.

Strive to cultivate this attitude and watch things change.

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did. ~Newt Gingrich

Perseverance is a key element to success and a positive asset to achieving the perfect self perception!

Did you know that it took 40 tries before WD-40, developer, Norm Larsen, got it right in 1953? Not only was he successful in designing two-fold water repellant that also prevents erosion but WD-40 has since become a household name used for numerous household needs.

Fortieth try? It sounds like a lot doesn’t it? I’m sure his family and friends may have felt the same way; even trying to discourage each attempt. However, had he been afraid to fail so many times and resorted to listening to those people, we may not have that wonderfully versatile product that loosens and lubricates today.

Has the fear of failure gone too far? Today’s society has become so intolerant of mistakes and failure that we go to great lengths to hide or disguise them. This nothing-less-than-success attitude can have serious dream crippling penalties.

More recently, the oil sands offer us a lesson in perseverance. Dating back to the 1960s and '70s, many researchers were attempting to develop an economical way to dig up oil from the thick sands in the Athabasca basin located in Alberta, Saskatchewan. The project almost seemed to be a complete waste of time and money, because it was not made commercially viable. However, as the technology improved, including help from inflating fuel and energy prices, the oil sands have paid off.

Now, Alberta's energy division’s challenge is how to supply this energy hungry world in a way that does not or minimalizes damage to the Earth. There are various modern, resourceful minds developing ways to make this happen. But rest assured that there is bound to be many more ideas that flop than ones that work. Today more than ever we must be prepared to try numerous times and possibly fail just as many before we finally achieve our goal.

Some readers may wrongly conclude that I'm suggesting that we readily accept failure and weakness. The exact opposite of what is being proposed. What I am proposing is persevering; not giving up because one, two or even three strategies don’t work. These are only hurdles that need to be jumped. This is when you step back, re-strategize and attack it again.

I understand that, at first, this may be a hard principle to accept, especially, if you live in a culture where failure is punished harshly and success rewarded; like Alberta.

Understand that tolerating failure doesn't end with failures and attempts. Tolerating failure encompasses learning from it. Ask yourself questions like: 1. why didn't that work? 2. what did I learn that I can apply next time?

Our personal progress relies on risk-taking. As an entrepreneur you have an idea, as a scientist you have a gut feeling, as a designer you have an image. However, to act on any of these notions, you need to take a chance. Should the consequence of failure seem too much, it can and will interfere with the motivation for you, as the risk-taker, to try anything less than a sure thing. And your dreams and achievement of them, will suffer.

Don’t get me wrong because failure should not be devastating. However, I believe that taking a chance on a dream should not be undermined by zero-tolerance for failure. We can't sit and flounder in failure, but we can learn to embrace failure for what it is -- an essential stepping stone to achieve success. Just as it took 40 tries to develop WD-40, your perseverance is bound to pay off.
