Last week I released an episode called ‘Doing hard things’ and I talked about our relationship with discomfort and failure. This week, I’m continuing with part 2 on the topic of ‘Perseverance.’
In a world that teaches us to seek instant gratification and quick results, we can become restricted by the inability to persevere well because NOBODY EVER REALLY TEACHES US WHAT IT TAKES TO PERSEVERE.
While it's human nature to find a way, to problem solve & to have the capacity to endure challenge... there is something very powerful about a person who knows how to persevere (and do it well). Coming off last weeks episode on doing hard things, I started thinking about what it takes to actually do hard things not just once... but over and over and over again.
Perseverance is one of the most helpful skills to master because it helps us become great at anything. Whether its a career... making money... learning to ride a bike... being a mother...
Perseverance shows us who we are and forces us to confront our commitment to mastery. You cannot be great at something you won't persevere for.
Not everybody has the mental resilience and grit to persevere well and that’s why so many are ‘good’ but not ‘great’ at the things they attempt... and also why so many of us start things and never actually finish them.
Persevering takes work. Persevering is a skill! But it is one of the most lifechanging skills. So let's learn how to do it well.
In this episode, I also talk about 'false perseverance' - the illusion of exerting energy by thinking, planning and/or worrying about what we need to do or want to do... but not actually putting in the effort and actions to make productive progress.
When you know how to persevere, everything you desire suddenly feels very very doable.
Suddenly, you show up with less resistance... you put in the work and actually find enjoyment in it... and more importantly- you create your results faster.
