Practice Persistence
from The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph by Ryan Holiday
With persistence and time what was unknown and difficult becomes familiar and clear.
How to Apply This
-
What is new is unknown. Your first attempts will not go well. Try again and never give up.
It is normal to be discouraged. It’s not okay to quit. -
Remember and remind yourself of the phrase from Epictetus: “persist and resist.”
You should always persist in your efforts and resist distractions, discouragements or disorder. -
When looking for the solution you should NEVER be:
- in a hurry
- worried
- desperate
- stop short
