Be Persistent

Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failures along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere. -Barack Obama

We as human beings are designed by God to be successful. Then why most of us don’t achieve what we are designed for. People often tell it’s all about their fate. That’s bullshit. It’s only about how to tackle life. It’s only about how you get up each time you fall. It’s only about perseverance.

The Cambridge English dictionary defines perseverance as continuous effort and determination. Yes, it is truly the essence of how you recover each time you fall and still go on in spite of the efforts and hard work you put in. but are there steps even to make our mind strong enough to persevere even in the midst of the worst failure. Here are 5 steps to make our mind strong enough to persevere better.
