Perseverance is the quality of staying committed to finishing what you start, even when the path becomes challenging. It involves persisting in a course of action despite obstacles and finding satisfaction in accomplishing tasks. It’s worth noting that not all tasks or actions are worth completing or should be finished, which is another skill altogether. However, it is crucial to understand that perseverance is primarily about taking the first step and not easily giving up when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It’s about pushing through and not being easily deterred from reaching your goals.
Perseverance is…
- Persistence
- Grit
- Resilience
- Determination
- Strength of Mind
- Motivation
Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.
