Perseverance and determination are elements that contribute to the achievement of every important goal: true.
Nevertheless we humans have a tendency to interpret every act of purposefulness with something else: stubbornness.
Stubbornness is the force that drives us to be self-righteous and
100% convinced of something even when we are completely and objectively
wrong.
Diligence and fortitude are essential for achievement and great
performance but when insistence is taking the place of persistence one
can end up performing the same action repeatedly after failure. When
studying effective people you can always find a blend of determination
and flexibility at the core of their decision-making engine. They
would never stubbornly fixate on one task or problem without trying
different approaches; otherwise this will stop them from attaining the
desired end.
Often
times, a detour or an alternative approach around the insurmountable
wall in front is the only way to get to where you want to go, so that
the aim persistently remains while you are dealing with the problems
that may crop up along the path.
The real stoppage arises when one is so fixated on a present problem
to the point that the original aim is lost and the person falls into
the qualms and worries of the hindering situation.
Whichever way you choose to travel, do so with confidence, drive,
and resolution. But when faced with an insuperable and unchanging
obstacle, don’t try to continue as you have so far banging with
frustration against it.
Keep the goal persistently in your mind while trying to creatively solve the problems in the way.
It is important to repeatedly dwell upon dreams and desires. This action provides the stepping stone to the development of clear goals to achieve. But while these thoughts are formed, imagined and reflected upon, it is equally important to close them hermetically to doubts and contradictory beliefs about them. Lock the door of the mind against thoughts of what is unwanted in life and harbor only thoughts of positive intentions. Anyone familiar with the law of attraction would understand that ...

When it comes to
the field of self-growth, there are many terms that are used:
self-help, self-improvement, self-development, and ultimately
self-challenge.
What is the difference between all these terms and why is it important to identify with the right approach for you?
Logically the goal human beings would be to improve the state of
mind, body and spirit. But alas, self-perception plays a huge role in
the motivational system we use and self-esteem is commonly found to be
too high or ...
It
doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache
for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't
interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like
a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive.
It
doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know
if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened
by life's be...
Carl Sagan was an American astronomer, astro-chemist, and author. Sagan
allows us to see the world through his eyes, as a pale blue dot, from
his involvement with the Voyager space mission. His perspective is
quite inspiring and thought-provoking. I would love to know your
thoughts on this. If everything that happens on Earth really as
insignificant as he says, why do we continue to do the things we do?
We often have an idea in our minds, a goal to achieve, an aim to
look forward to. But somewhere along the way we loose track of where we
were going and leave our targets unattained or barely grazed. How can
one reach the desired objective and know that success and achievement
are possible regardless of the circumstances under which we engage our
journey?
Envision
A crystal clear and personally undeniable vision is an essential
first step. Without knowing exactly what is to be obtained, there ...
Both ancient wisdom and modern research has shown that life is
driven by an energy that is similar to electrostatic fields, yet far
more complex (in pulsation, but not in nature), and this is essentially
observable in every natural process. Professor Harold Saxton Burr
quoted in his book that “Electricity is the way nature behaves” and by discovering that all living things are shaped by electro-dynamic fields, which could be measured and mapped with standard voltmeters, he coined the term...
Most often, people identify with their occupation and
respond to the question “who am I?” with titles such as a doctor, a referee, a
cook, or whatever they do most throughout the day. It is important to
understand that this is not who we
are but what we do, yet most of us
are unable to provide any other answer than the description of our profession
or role in life.
Although it’s true that “every cloud has a silver lining”
and that the “glass can be seen as half full”, it is also important to not to
be deluded by extreme optimism and thus shy away from the realities of life.
Pessimism has few benefits as it is the main reason why
people develop self-sabotages, are low in energy and motivation, and quit their
efforts early. Pessimist...
I have had people
coming to me, telling me about their negative self-talk, their timidity, their
lack of self-assurance, or their fear of failure. As we work on improving their
self-image and self-confidence, they often tell me about their ability to go
through exercises and feel good about themselves when at home or in a
comfortable area they are familiar with, but a sudden inability...
Since a very early age I have traveled the world in search of knowledge, experience and clarity that would provide me the foundation I needed to meet my personal goals in life. though many of these goals are still to be unraveled to me, my most important and biggest goal is the one of teaching people how they can better themselves. I do this through medical advice using natural medicine, through the knowledge of hindering neural mechanisms, and through frequent informative presentations in which I try to make the "mind-environment" connection better understood.
