Persistance Is Not Enough!
.
I used to always have trouble with this concept of persistence. Some people could say that persistence is like banging your head against the wall – insanity is when we do the same thing and expect a different outcome. So how do we know if we should just be persistent? Then the realisation came to me…
.
Persistence + Experimentation is the answer!
Experimentation is the missing key.
Persistence with Experimentation IS THE KEY.
It means that if you persist and you keep trying new ways of doing something, you will get different outcomes.
If you truly know what your goal is and you stay persistent in pursuit of it and you add the missing ingredient EXPERIMENTATION.. you will arrive sooner or later where you want to be or somewhere better.
So It Goes Like This:
- Know your goal
- Work backwards to now
- Persistently pursue your goal …
- Whilst, experimenting different ways to achieve the same outcome
So when you hear them saying you must be persistent, this on its own is not good enough… I would add to this
‘Persistence yes, WITH Experimentation’.
Be persistent absolutely dont give up on your real dreams, but try different ways to achieve your end goal (as Edison did with the light bulb, trying 1000 different ways to invent the damn thing. He was both persistent and experimental in his approach to find out what is working and what won’t).
You get the idea!
