I need this big time an attempt to get better I have decided to post a few articles in thoughts about them in my own words. I am trying to change behaviors by using my subconscious and retraining the 95% of my life that is on autopilot.

Here are some of the things that persistent people have that keeps them going long after most people have given up.

An all-consuming vision

Persistent people have a goal or vision in mind that motivates and drives them. They are often dreamers and visionaries who see their lives as having a higher purpose than simply earning a living. Their vision is deeply ingrained and they focus on it constantly and with great emotion and energy. They often think of this vision first thing when they wake up and last thing before they go to bed. Reaching this goal becomes the focal point of their life and they devote a major portion of their energies and time towards reaching it.

A burning desire

“If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.”   ~  Jim Rohn ~

Persistent people want it bad, really bad, and never look for an excuse or a way out.

What keeps highly persistent people going is their powerful level of desire.   Repeated failures, dead ends and periods when it seems like no progress is being made, often come before any major breakthroughs happen. Persistent people have the inner energy and intensity to keep them motivated and going through these tough times.

Inner Confidence

People who overcome the odds and achieve greatly are often described as “marching to the beat of their own drummer”. They know what they want and are seldom swayed by the opinion of the masses.   Having a highly developed sense of who they are allows them to continue on without being greatly affected by what others think of them or not; being understood or appreciated by those around them.   While that inner confidence gets challenged and shaken, it never gets destroyed and constantly acts as a source of courage and determination.

Highly developed habits

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” ~  Jim Rohn ~

Highly persistent people know it is very difficult to stay continually motivated, particularly during difficult times and when it appears that no progress is being made. They have come to rely upon their self-discipline and developing habits they can count on to continue down the path towards their eventual goals. They believe the results of the efforts they make today may not be seen for a long time, but strongly believe that everything they do will count towards their outcome in the end.
