I want to talk about self discipline and importance of being persistent in this mail. Often we want to achieve something, like learning biking, music, swimming etc. Learning some new thing is not easy. It takes time and can be challenging. Persistence is the ability to maintain action regardless of your feelings. You press on even when you feel like quitting.
When you work on a long term goal, your motivation will wax and wane like waves hitting the shore. Sometimes you'll feel motivated; sometimes you won't. But it's not your motivation that will produce results — it's your action. Persistence allows you to keep taking action even when you don't feel motivated to do so, and therefore you keep accumulating results.
Some people are innately smarter, but it helps them get ahead in life not because they are smart but because they make smarter choice of being persistent and working diligently towards achieving their goals. It took a lot of time and effort for Oliver and Wilbur Wright brothers to build their first air-plane. It took lots of time and several failed experiments before Thomas Edition, the magician of light, to build the first light bulb. Great achievements come only with hard and persistent work.
Bhagawat Gita tells us that work is worship. When you work on something towards achieving a specific goal, you should work diligently and put in your best effort. When you ingrain discipline of being persistent, you will feel satisfied and discover true happiness in your achievements. So, set up your goals and arise, awake and stop not till your goal is reached.
Love
Papa
