“Energy and persistence conquer all things.”  ~Benjamin Franklin~Persistence is the Key to Personal Growth
When cultivating self-esteem, one of the best things to develop is persistence. It is a critical foundation you can build on constantly. When you’re clear about who you are and the kind of life you want to live, you’ll feel determined to realize your goals. That determination to go after what you want is what we call persistence. No matter what comes your way, whether good or bad on the road to your dreams, you won’t let anything stop you. Persistence is like a psychological net. As long as you stay true to yourself and what you want, persistence will come along for the ride and support you at every turn.

When you cultivate the habit of being persistent:
 you make a conscious decision to train yourself to be persistent
 realize that persistence must become a way of life if you want to succeed

Tips for staying persistent:

1. Fate will throw negative people, places and things at you to test your resolve. Realize that and persist
2. If you start losing your resolve, take action no matter how small
3. Develop clear goals; a great goal encourages persistence
4. A setback is not a failure; recognize the difference and don’t give up
5. Want more than you’ve ever wanted before

What separates a person’s successes from failures is the ability to carry on when things go wrong. All successful people have persistence in common.  When others give up, they don’t.
