Starting my new blog series, I hope this time I will stick to it till the end as its my 4th or 5th blog since my childhood. The single most reason why I'm not able to go far was my lack of "Persistence'
so lets begin this blog by addressing this topic.
Persistence
A very common word to use in our dialect but a very hard one to implement in our lives. We often use it with words like-determination, will power, never die spirit' but usually end up our lives without it atleast most of us.
Many artists and authors have called lack of persistence one of the biggest sins for an artist. A Sin which an amateur artist possess and has to lose it in order to metamorphose into a pro.
Its hard, very hard but not impossible and to break this artistical sin of our times we have to take small very small steps that are insiginificant in terms of effort but significant in terms of progress. Many people call it "Atomic steps" these atomic steps once compounded on a daily basis have significant returns .
Authors like 'Steven King and many more use this step to stick to their goal of writing as much books as they can in one year. S.King told in an interview that he writes 6 pages daily irrespective of any circumstances. Also Steven Pressfield in his book - 'The War of Art" stated that ' The Professional knows that the mundane physical act of siting down and starting to work, sets in motion a mysterious process that produces inspiration . The Amateur waits for inspiration but the professional know that it will come after he start".
So what you can take from this is that you have to make small atomic steps on daily basis and eventually it will lead you to take larger steps. Like for e.g - If you want to loose weight start by just wearing shoes and going for 100-500m walk, that's it follow it for few days then turn those 500m walks into 2-3km walks and eventually into 2-3 km running but if you try to achieve the goal of running 2-3km daily from start then you are most likely to give up in few days and that;s why these atomic steps play a crucial role.
Build that persistence around your craft/goal/project and eventually you will end up doing the impossible.
