Perseverance

Yesterday we talked about conscientiousness. Today we will go over perseverance.

“If you are going through hell, keep going,”

Winston Churchill

People with perseverance seem to be able to enjoy pain and suffering. By changing their perspective by seeing the struggle as a way of meeting their goals. Which is seen as pleasure.

Perseverance is the ability to start down a path toward your goal and continue on the path well after others have dropped off.

Perseverance manifests itself in long term goals, and practice with a purpose. These things combine to create meaning. It is the difference between someone who just does something often and someone who masters their craft.
