Today at Healthvim, we would like to look at the severe need of perseverance in all we do, according to the dictionary, the word 'perseverance' is defined as 'persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success', But maybe you are yet to see the need for perseverance but hopefully as you continue to read you will be able to see why perseverance is a virtue that is needed to achieve sucess.
One basic fact about life is that it is so unfair,i believe you must have heard this line "life is so unfair" a thousand times maybe from a movie or in real world experience, but that line is so much true as life is not so actually fair, this conclusion came about due to the fact that most persons don't actually get from life what they had expected, or things did not go as planned, these are common and regular circumstances that each and everyone of us must have experienced, probably you had ventured into a business with the aim of making much money but only ended up accumulating losses, i could bet that had brought you down severely, or maybe you had sat for an exam after preparing much for it but yet you didn't do so well, what you might have said is that " this life is not fair", so true as you had not gotten that which you had expected. But the fact is life is full of hurdles and set-backs and that is why it is called "life", it is an arena of tough times that only the strong could survive in, if one must then succeed in this tough arena that means such a person must have to be very strong to be able to do so.
To be able to attain such great strength as is needed to overcome the fury challenges of life, one must be able to persevere, now i believe you are getting to see why perseverance is quite a vital factor, success does not come on a bed of roses neither on a platter of gold, true is the saying that "show me a successful man and i would show you a man with a whole lot of unsuccessful years behind him", the truth is, one might first have to fail before he or she would be able to attain success, for a brief example, looking at the life of Thomas Edison who invented the electric bulb, you must have heard that he tried doing it a thousand times before he was able to do it well, today he is a success to the world at large but what was he those 999 times when it didn't work out for him?, he was a practical failure, indeed life was so unfair to him for 999 times, but if he had accepted his fall he would not be known today and probably someone else would have been the one to have invented the electric bulb, but because he was able to persevere through those times of failure he ended up being pretty successful at the end.
This also applies to you, if you do not persevere through the hard times you might not be able to attain the success you want because you would give-up on those dreams of yours the moment life start to show you its ugly side, you should always remember that life does not give you that which you want but that which you stubbornly demand from it, this you do by consistent with your efforts in that which you despite things might not be pretty to the eyes i.e persevere.
Knowing fully well that success won't come at a single trial but rather through repeated trial after repeated failure, you would now realize that you should be able to persevere through those hard times to be able to achieve your dreams, so no matter what life brings your way you should be ready to get back on your foot, for without doing so you would but end up being a failure. So you should have it in mind that you might fail at your first attempt, but that is how life is, it tries to test your perseverance virtue as a champion is one who is able to persevere for quite a long time, it is a virtue life is trying to teach so that when you eventually become the successful person you hope to be,you would be strong enough to maintain that success and not fall back to the ground after hitting the top.
