Hey Sanguine
PERSISTENCE
Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of Hey Sanguine. Today let's talk about persistence, a secret ingredient of success. A lot of tiny things has become timeless just by being persistent. We all have heard where there is a will that is a way. It's not about how many big steps we take once in a while. It's about how many small steps we take every day. We all know how tortoise won the race, how a seed split the rock and how ants didn't stop in the rainy season. These are timeless stories that we have heard in our childhood. If we understand it better, neither the tortoise seed nor the ant was the strongest in the scenario. Rather, they were the weakest and they had minimal or no chances to win. But to all our surprises, they turned into winners. If we mentally block our mind that I am not equipped enough to succeed in this venture, then it is impossible to win in real. There are always two places where we struggle, one within ourselves, one outside with others. Only if you prepare your mind and unblock it to see the goal, only then you can convince persistence to exist within you. Persistence is all about being humble with your efforts, not giving up your dreams for the hurdles on the way and glide through your resistance with the firmness towards your purpose. When your stomach was full, when the food was not tasty, your mom always somehow managed to nourish you just by saying one last bite and we ended up having five to six. That's the threshold breaking we need to cultivate the habit of persistence. If you are swimming 50 meters, challenge yourself to go a little beyond to 60 meters, it feels scary initially. Muscles might feel fatigue, there might be loss of breath, it's okay. Try your best, but ensure that you don't allow a mental block to get in. Mental block will drown you. An optimistic mind is given much of importance in persistence because it's 80% mind and 20% of our physical ability. When you are being persistent, you are just continuing your routine, you aren't defeating anyone, you are no way different to others, but your mind, your willpower is working 10x here. It is searching for opportunities, it is alert all time, it is aware about every action that takes place. That is why persistence is silent. So next time, when you make a plan to achieve something and feel if you are not strong enough or worried that people can ruin it, worry not, move in silence with persistence and let your success make the noise. Hope you enjoyed it, thanks for listening, this is Karthika Madialigan signing off, let's catch up in another episode. [BLANK_AUDIO]
