The Goal Of Persistence
Thursday, February 11, 2010
Have you ever wanted to reach your goal but gave up even before you even got started? Whether it's due to pure intimidation or sheer lack of faith, reaching for our goals sounded much easier when we were younger playing doctor or imagining our trip to the moon simply because back then, everything was possible.
Check out the article I found on the web. It's a good reminder to simply put one foot in front of the other... without stopping.
More Faith - The Goal Of Persistence
Author: David Beairsto
When the Rubber Meets the Road
We’re all refined in the fires of life and we all need more faith. What sort of metal we’re made of is proven in the outcome of the trials we face. When our decisions are left until the moment the trial begins we compound their effect.
A mindset driven by desire and fueled by persistence can make categorical decisions about certainties in life.
- We won’t achieve our goals without persistence.
- We won’t endure long on our own.
- Our thoughts determine our actions.
- Our actions reveal our faith.
Setting the First Goal
When our first decision is to run toward, rather than away from, life’s challenges, we allow the creative imagination to rise up courageously. We recognize that all of our goals are set in anticipation of the obstacles in our way.
If something we desire is waiting right in front of us we don’t set a goal to obtain it, we simply take it.
The objects we desire usually require well thought out plans before we can hope to obtain them. Even the trip to the grocery store requires forethought and faith. Sometimes our plan needs to include another step in case the first store is out of what we wanted.
When life is lived in reaction to everything that besets us we develop habits that are defensive in nature. Creative imagination isn’t designed as a protection mechanism but will become so if that’s the extent of its use.
The Community
The company we keep, like the thoughts we think, has a profound affect upon the goals we make. We won’t dream big in a cautious crowd. In timid company, the rogue individual who’s willing to strike out on their own is excluded.
If we want to set goals worthy of our greatest dreams we’ll need people close by who believe in us. The more encouragement we receive, the more faith we have to achieve.
Envy and jealousy are obviously absent in groups that thrive on encouraging one another. We celebrate everything because it keeps us all moving forward... The overall health of any network of like minded people depends upon the weakest member.
Fueling Our Minds
Autosuggestion takes place constantly. Unless we remain vigilant over the information and emotions that affect our subconscious minds, we’ll lose ground to the negative influences around us. Everything we hear and see should be filtered through our conscious thought process.
This is why our goals are written down and recited daily. This isn’t simply a memory technique but an exercise for our subconscious mind. Our active part in autosuggestion is a conscious objective to the success of the overall plan.
An entrepreneur acquires more faith when the thought process sets the emotional tone for every active step they take toward their goal.
An athlete develops greater confidence when their thoughts condition the rush of adrenaline to release at specific intervals throughout the game.
The Outcome
Regardless of what transpires during the game, or in life, the discipline of persistence drives us onward.
It doesn’t take more faith to keep going. Belief becomes stronger because we keep going.
To twist a popular phrase, ‘When the going gets tough, the tough are still going.’
The tenacity of someone who is passionate about what they do is clearly evident. They read like a book.
When the object of faith is clearly defined, the plan of action has purpose. Understanding the mission attracts more support than powerful speeches or pleas. We all want a reason for what we get behind. The more powerful that vision, that dream, that goal, the harder we’ll persevere in our quest.
