We live in a world where, clearly, we get stressed over little everyday things. Whenever we are facing more turbulent times or feel more overwhelmed, we end up lacking the patience and persistence to solve our problems the easy way.
As we all know, talking is easy, isn't it? The problem is when we put our values and concepts into practice. You may have already noticed that when we go through this type of situation in our work, for example, several people, who are seeing the problem from another angle, offer us tips and even show us a way to apply these advices in our lives (such as if it were the easiest thing in the world).
A good example of this can be illustrated by the competition and immediacy present in the job market. The world we live in is fueled by almost immediate compensation and a great need for recognition. Therefore, persistence and patience are considered key values to achieve the long-awaited success.
We always want something more, like a more modern car, a bigger house, a promotion, etc. Therefore, it is not difficult to try to understand why so many employees and employees have so many difficulties to patiently wait for all their work and effort to finally be rewarded. We always want the immediate, the now, the instant approval and we always want to receive praise that elevates our ego.
We can define persistence as the ability to keep striving, even when daunting obstacles or challenges hit us. In a world where most individuals end up giving up on the dream when faced with some difficulty, those who have this quality end up standing out and achieving success more easily. We can also say that this characteristic makes the individual who has it able to develop more skills, abilities and skillfully overcome their limitations.
Some things really make it worth the wait. Therefore, it is essential that you know how to use these values with discernment. If I can give you any advice, here's one I think is important: always do what you can and also what you can't, if you want to achieve some goal or dream. Try to refrain from more negative criticism and take advantage of positive ones to improve your weakest points. Always remember to maintain patience in those most troubled moments. The important thing is to never give up. Success will come one day.
It doesn't hurt to try, does it?
