Life Is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the
moments in your life that take your breath away.
Chapter 9 Persistence
According to the author Persistence is the one quality that can not be replaced by any other, and a lack of or inconsistency in the application of this quality will not bring about your desired goal. In fact this attribute of consistent constant forward action is the most detimental problem I face. Being a bit onthe Green personality side I have a tendency to let procrastination affect my level of persistent action. When this is occuring I know it but almost feel helpless to change it.
This quality or attribute is the most difficult one to bring to bear on a consistent basis as Hill says the Mind that is not occupied with money consciousness will become occupied with poverty consciousness.
In my personal mental cleanse process I find that as soon as I let my guard down and if I for any reason falter in my self talk or belief in my self and my desires then poverty consciousness appears as if a ghost has invaded my mind. I then have to work to bring my belief in myself back up to a level where the poverty consciousness is once again displaced by my belief and desire.
He, Hill provides us in this chapter with again the statement that the attributes we need such as persistence are a “state of mind” the causes of which he lists eight components of persistence. He then lists the sixteen symptoms of “Lack of Persistence” When I examine these in myself I find that although I work daily on the eight attributes of persistence with my self talk I do not bulletproof my self against the sixteen symptoms of a lack of persistence.
I too easily fall to the following items #2 Procrastination and item #4 Indecision, Too Long have I let these two symptoms creep into my daily thought patterns, now that I recognize them for what they are I know I can alter my state of mind by altering my sub conscious programming.
The simple fact that I know this is not enough!! I have to take action to change this EVERY day - when I do not I falter in building the success I desire - the strange part is that I know it is happening when it does - This demon has haunted me my entire life - I WILL continue to wage war against this demon and I WILL be the victor. All I have to do is repeat my self talk each and every day - thats it how simple yet how tough Easy too do, and easy not too do
– I now know I can add persistence to my arsenal of tools that I use on a daily basis to achieve my stated desire.
