Great writing! so honest and real…

People who persist and risk themselves often find the predicament of breaking down half way, because of no result or “some result” at all. People who succeed achieve the results, in one way or another. Meaning it may not always be like we expected.

Reading your posts gave hope.

Thank you

“Breakthrough moments usually require stubborn persistence and undying faith towards making thoughts turn into reality.” I like this quote, as it’s was showed how needed elements of contribution of stubborn persistence to make a breakthrough. The breakthrough moment are important on either break in or make in it.

Thank you for your post.

Thanks for this very honest post, Tristan.

AND way to go for just finally ASKING for what you wanted…funny how that works!

Persistence is so important, as long as we’re persisting at something that makes sense (Steve Pavlina trying to break through by providing valuable content vs. slogging away at a dead-end job every day and not creating anything new for oneself), and which is going to make for a fabulous end result.

I’m writing this from my hotel while attending Steve’s first ever workshop, and I’m not at all surprised we admire the same people!

Continued success to you,

Shauna

Hey Dani. Exactly… people usually do the same things over, and although this is being persistent, it’s not always the smartest thing to do. Looking that small other outlook, whether it’s something new or from a different perspective, will help you get further in life.

Hey Brett. Haha, I liked how you used the words “smash through” and I definitely can relate to how you feel. Keep smashing through, and eventually you’ll hit a point where smashing through will become fun.

Hey Nea. That’s a good point. Aim for the result, but never forget to live in the moment. I’m glad you enjoyed the article.

Hey Jan. Thanks for reading!

I really enjoyed this article Tristan. The examples of Edison and Ford were on point. We all have mountains, or at least hills, that we want to get over in our lives. We all look forward to those moments of breakthrough. I just try not to get so caught up worrying about the end result that I miss out on life in the interim. Thanks for encouraging readers to keep trying and never give up.

Great post, man. This reminds me of my own issues – in several ways, I am hitting plateaus left and right. With persistence, I’ll be able to smash through them with a breakthrough. Sad thing is, by making one breakthrough and getting past one plateau, you end on another.

great post, tristan! i love the way you talk about persistence here and how you brought up the idea of finding another way. that’s such a key thing in life. when you try something over and over again, don’t give up, but don’t keep doing the same thing either. try something new!
