This is the main reason why there are so many talented and intelligent people who are not successful. By reading further, readers will be able to know how to develop their innate persistence hidden in their subconscious mind.
The first method to be persistent is to have a very big and important goal. The goal could be anything that is important to you whether it is about academics, relationships, business, work and others.
In creating a goal, it has to be of two types and it must be so big that it would somehow be impossible or unrealistic in addition to the fact that the goal must affect the most important people in your life.
The second method to develop persistence is to remind yourself of the goal and the importance of that goal at least 3 times a day: upon waking up, upon sleeping and when feeling bored. The more that you remind yourself of the goal that more likely that your subconscious mind will act on it.
Once this activity is done, working on the goal would now be an important, automatic, routine activity.
The next method is to act, act again, act again and act again. This simply means that you keep repeating the same goal over and over again despite facing failures. This does not mean repeating the same tactic, strategy or objective. Change your methodology but never change your goal especially if this is your mission in life and this would affect your loved ones heavily.
It is important to follow these methods to be persistent. In following these methods, it is important to always have faith since trials and difficulties will always come our way. Bottom line is the most successful people of our history became successful not because of their talent or anything else but because of their sheer persistence.
