Why Perseverance is Reserved for the Successful

Perseverance is a bitch, and there’s a reason why.

Nobody has ever started perseverance and completed it without at least some hint of results. You persevere, you win. It’s that simple.

Now if it really was that simple, everyone would be “successful”. Of course that success is defined only by the individual doing the perseverance. Unfortunately for you and I, and even the successful, perseverance is not an easy task, just an easy idea.

Perseverance on a large scale is strictly reserved for only successful people, because they are the only ones who have completed it on such a colossal and impressive scale. Those are the people like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Gary Vaynerchuck, The Rock, Elvis, and so many more.

These people have all learned how to persevere, and persevere in a way that none of us could. They persevered so damn hard that they were labeled as successful. They were noticed and acknowledged by the world for it. Now that’s an awesome type of success if you ask me!

But why Isaac, why do you keep insisting that perseverance is reserved only for the accomplished?

As Newt Gingrich once said,

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.

The famous people I briefly touched on above did not become achievement idols through hard work, they became successful human beings through their perseverance. They didn’t come home from their 9–5 and watch Netflix. They didn’t come home from a long day of work and write one blog post. They didn’t come home and record just one video. They just didn’t.

Rather, these people came home from a day of hard work, and worked even harder for the last six hours of their day. They wrote not one blog post that evening, rather they wrote, edited, revised and perfected five blog posts that evening. They recorded not one YouTube video, but they recorded three, edited and uploaded all of them the same night.

THAT IS PERSEVERANCE.

Day in and day out perseverance is shown by the hard work you put in after the first round of hard work has finished.

They did not waste time, and you know what else? They did not have fun. And that is because perseverance is a bitch; a job only the soon-to-be and already successful can achieve. I wish you good-luck, and go get ‘em.
