Success Recipe: Persistence (1)

Persistence, grit, consistency, determination, passion, drive, zeal and many more are synonymous.

Persistence, consistency, determination, passion, drive, zeal and many more are synonymous. We often use these words interchangeably, which is okay based on the context it's been used. ‎

I will be writing on persistence today. Different people understand this word better; my dictionary gladly gives me this definition that I like a lot with relatable examples.‎
Persistence: the property of being persistent.

Example 1: You have to admire his persistence. He's asked her out every day for a month, even though she keeps turning him down.‎
Example 2: The little girl is persistent in her request for a doll from her father
Example 3: Nigerians, without a doubt, have a strong persistence that the country will change in all ramifications for good
‎
I will then relate persistence to my lifestyle. I've got to thank God for my tenacity in updating my blog weekly, even when the number of viewers isn't up to a million yet. That's on a lighter note.

Persistence is an attribute everyone and anyone who desires to be successful will have to possess. Sometimes our neatly drafted and crafted plans might give us a very damning and discouraging result which will dampen our motivation. To continue the process that we have already started, we need persistence. It's times like this that persistence is required. Persistence is the fuel that keeps us moving when we are tired, worn out and frail. Persistence is very essential in everything and anything we find ourselves doing.
Persistence is one of the key ingredients in the success recipe, and remember, the industry is encouraging you when no one else would encourage you.

By God's grace, I will write on Focus next week. Focus is another crucial ingredient in the Success recipe.‎
