Perseverance is one of our greatest attributes. Anyone who has become good at what they do had a strong sense of perseverance: they never gave up. They may have faced overwhelming odds and numerous challenges in their life, but they persevered. In working to a goal, a person may be ridiculed and laughed at. Their own success may have been slow in coming, but that is the essence of perseverance: never quitting. When the going gets difficult, hang in there when others did not. Stay focused on the goal you have set for yourself. A person will go through challenging tasks. As a martial artist, we constantly push ourselves to the limit. We’re constantly discovering what we are capable of. To get good at a skill in school takes time and patience, along with hard work. There are no short cuts; a person must put in the effort. Perseverance requires paying attention to the little things we do daily, positive talk when things get tough, but more importantly never giving up!
