The answer is that most people give up. To achieve this goal, we must not give up.
Now, before you disappointed sighs and leave this page, try to stay here even for a minute. After all, the real key to success - is perseverance, and we will try to learn it.
An interesting point of view on the education of strength of character was raised Stavitskiy Michal (Michal Stawicki) in the book "The Art of perseverance» (The Art of Persistence). He spoke about the major mistakes that we can make on the way to achieving the goal, and also described the secret of success, which will help to achieve anything, it was conceived about.
From the instant of pleasure to the habit
Says Michal Stavisky, we live in an era of instant pleasure. Fast food, entertainment for home delivery, constant communication with friends using smartphones... Now beloved bedtime story - a story about the success of other entrepreneurs. Stories about how two students from the college founded the company, which in a few years has received billions of investment, take possession of our minds.
But all these expectations of rapid and pleasant result is actually poison our minds. We believe that you can get a nice press thanks to daily ten-minute workout and then wonder why the result does not materialize immediately.
Michal Stavitskiy talks about his personal experience: he began his journey to success two years ago. The first attempts at writing have led to "tremendous" earnings: for six months, he was able to get only $ 35, but on his first book, he worked six days a week. This result is disappointing. Most people would have given up and started to implement the other ideas. Yes, and Stavisky said he was upset and thought that he had no talent for writing.
The fact that many consider the talent the key to success. However Stavitskiy on his own experience that the key to victory - is consistency and persistence.
All that I needed - it is an understanding of how perseverance helps achieve these goals. Every little step brings us closer to what we want so much.
Despite the fact that Stavisky had a permanent job, he promised myself to write every day. Result? He became a successful writer and receives large fees - 75% more than the others. According Stavisky, he was able to reach only through generated habitually I write every day.
We expect rapid results
So we know that the main thing - is to be consistent. Usually we follow this rule, especially if you feel responsible, or the pleasure of the action performed. But what to do when you need to develop the habit of doing what we do not like?
When we set a new goal, motivation It spurs us to jump into the pool with his head, to exert maximum effort. We begin to adhere to the strictest of diets, exercising for several hours, consigning himself to the imminent failure. Perhaps the motivation helps to go through the first series of mistakes and failures. But it does not save the frustration, because we subconsciously expect a quick and impressive results from the effort.
If after a week of training and diet, we do not find ourselves in a steel die and beautiful "cubes", then drop the hands and giving up.
Perseverance must not depend on the results
The secret is to realize that the big success takes time. Successive actions must not have anything to do with external factors. You assume the obligation to perform specific actions, regardless of whether it brings an impressive short-term results or not.
Your goal is to make new rules of behavior habit. You do not think about how to brush your teeth in the morning - this is a common action is routine and does not require mental effort. Michal Stavitskiy says that his habit of writing has become commonplace.
I do not feel enthusiasm, excitement or depression. It's just a habit. I do not deliberate about it.
When you begin to fulfill their New Year's resolutions or simply set a goal, remember that to achieve success, you have to forget about it. Set all the actions of the regime forces in the habit mode - and will achieve victory.
Let these two quotes will help you not to give up.
