to install it in my clients so by the end of this video you're going to
understand what really creates persistence so that you can create as
much as you want of it in your own life now before I get into this if you have
questions or you have comments while you're watching this video make sure you
drop them in the comments section right down here below and I will respond to
you so let's talk about persistence what is it really
well it's obvious it's like when you continue moving forward you continue
going after something even when you encounter obstacles even when you
encounter huge setbacks or curveballs that you weren't expecting now what it
doesn't mean though what it's not and I get this a lot of people say well if I'm
if I become really persistent what if you know it is time to stop when what
about when maybe it is a good idea to quit you know will I keep going and I
don't see persistence as being that way because we go a little bit deeper with
persistence whenever I talk about or when I'm
coaching someone persistence is not about continuing to beat a dead horse
persistence is not about continuing to go after something when clearly it's
either not working or it's harming other people or it's
just not maybe going to get you what it is that you want I talk about this all
the time how people will often chase something because it they're told it's
what they should want or that maybe it's their society their culture values it
and so they go after it and then along the way they go you know this really
isn't doing it for me but they continue to persist or you do accomplish that
goal you get it and you go hmm this is really not working for me but a person
might persist and go forward and continue in that direction
knowing that it's not going to get them what they want but they don't know what
else to do because they they lack clarity if you want to give more clarity
about this it's not a video about clarity it's about persistence but if
you want to know more about how to get clarity about what it is that you want I
will link in the description below it's a PDF it's free you get it immediately
and it's basically how to do a value solicitation because values too little
is listening your values will always tell you will always give you that
clarity and that's the the piece I want to really bring to persistence
persistence is not necessarily repetitive behavior or following through
with your routines and doing all the things that you need to do every single
day to get what you want to accomplish what you want
it's definitely connected to persistence but I don't really see that as being
what persistence is persistence is about following through with what it is that
you value and you'll never go wrong never go wrong when you're following
through with your values and along the way what you'll discover though is that
certain things won't do it for you I pursued insurance sales for the longest
time I did it not because I thought it was a something I was really going to
enjoy in fact that was pretty sure it wasn't but I thought if I got successful
enough at it like my father-god then I could sort of buy my freedom that way
and it didn't really work because it didn't align with my values I was very
persistent at it until I finally quit and so did I by quitting did that make
me not persistent anymore no when I got in touch with what my values are I
thought huh now I'm to be persistent with my values the
execution of it the behavior of it the strategy of it that stuff doesn't matter
so much that stuff you can quit but you never want to quit your values because
then you go into the wasteland alright so the problem with most people with for
most people is that quitting is scary because I don't know what else they
would do if they quit because they don't really understand their values they
don't really understand what it is that does it for them what fulfills them what
satisfies them so they stay persistent but its persistent towards something
they don't really want so it's not very fulfilling and eventually they will quit
eventually you quit and then you might feel bad about yourself and you think ah
yeah you know I just needed a little more persistence and maybe it would have
worked no it won't if something's just not fulfilling you it's just not going
to fulfill you your values though or the clue as to what is going to fulfill you
and you get to test that out you get to try a lot of different things you know
you if your values are say joy and freedom and and fun and you go and you
pursue those and you never quit on them you can be persistent about that for the
rest of your life and in that persistence you try on a lot of
different strategies you try on a lot of different endeavors and that this can be
personal or it can be career whatever it is as long as you stay connected to your
values and you're persistent with your values you can never lose you will
always win now back to the wasteland thing that I mentioned if you've ever
been there and most of us have it's usually after quitting something you
quit something and you don't know what else to do you know that quitting was
probably the right thing to do or maybe maybe you're still beating yourself up
about it but if you don't know where to go that's
what I call the wasteland it's it's not it's it's a really it's a
really discouraging place to be because a lot of it is not knowing where you
want to go you thought you knew the way you thought you knew what did it for you
you went after it and none of it none of that worked out and so without realizing
what your values are you sort of quit on them you don't know what else you don't
know how to pursue them and so that's what puts
you in the wasteland but when you're when you're connected to your values
then you can quit the behavior you can quit the regimen you can quit the gold
you can quit pursuing the accomplishment because in quitting that it will focus
you in a better direction and a direction that is more aligned with what
your values are so you never have to go in the wasteland the wasteland is more
about not having clarity and that's what I want too that's the third and final
step of this is that clarity the more clarity you have about what it is that
you want that is persistence persistence is the clarity about what it is that you
want you will naturally gravitate toward what it is that you want when you're
clear about it but if you're not clear about it this is when this idea of
limiting beliefs come up this is that idea of obstacles like I there's all
these obstacles to getting what I want when the more clarity you have around it
the easier it is to persist beyond the obstacles beyond the limiting beliefs
without the clarity it's almost impossible so yes you can gain a lot of
clarity by sitting down and listening your values and writing about them but
the other part to clarity that a lot of people don't want to hear is that taking
action when you take action in a certain direction the feedback that you get
creates a lot more clarity I think I might enjoy something I go give it a try
I do or I don't like it that's the feedback I like it I continue pursuing
it I don't like it that I don't pretend you continue pursuing it so there's a
certain comfort and relief around just knowing that you're committed to your
values and that you're going to pursue them that you have that persistence that
you can take any amount of wrong turns and it's okay because that's just part
of the process you you know what your values are as you take action you gain
more clarity whether or not the action you took worked out or not it doesn't
matter if it doesn't work out then you know you know one less thing to try and
that gives you more clarity if it does work out again you know more what you
want so there's more clarity so knowing what your value
are staying connected with your values behaving in alignment with your values
that will create persistence that will create more persistence than you could
ever need what fuels that even more what drives it even harder is progress and
progress is inevitable whenever you're testing things out
you're trying things you're taking action you're self-reflecting you're
gaining you're gaining clarity about what it is you want beginning clarity
about your values progress is inevitable and so the combination of the values
which creates persistence with the progress that really fuels persistence
you can't lose you will become unstoppable so like I said if you want
