Persistence

Persistence in anything depends on how much it matters to you. Not what the magic winning formula says, sold to you by the next ‘expert’.

It depends on whether you want short-term easy or long-term rewarding, in fact, it depends just on what you want, and what success looks like to you.

Of course, you may reach a point when you have tried and you realise that something isn’t going to work for you. Sure that is the point to change to a different path and allow the journey to evolve in a new direction.

However, it is worth investing time to keep modifying, reimagining, and learning while it still matters to you.

The thing is, there does not have to be a point where something has to have worked by or not.

Things can keep improving if it matters.

Lightning learning

If you want to change something, then you need to find a way of accelerating your learning.

You can only accelerate your learning by doing more.

Doing more comes from building a habit.

It’s the building the habit that is the challenge initially. However, armed with a real deep down desire to change something, the commitment to do the daily habit forming routines, to do the practicing, to cut the new pathways in the brain, to build the momentum, comes easier and easier the longer down the path of change that you go.

Learning like anything else, gets better with practice, so as time passes the learning ‘muscle’ gets stronger and stronger, and you learn faster and faster.

You will reach a point of lightning learning compared to where you previously were and the more you continue, the more the compound effect takes place.

Like all things that are worth it in life, it takes time and patience with yourself. However, the quicker you are able to learn things, the faster you can accelerate your self-development and change becomes faster too.
