Have you ever gone on a run but fell short of how long you wanted to run? Have you ever tried pursuing an idea just to fall short of your goal? There are many situations in life in which we tend to give up when our end goal seems unattainable. Sometimes, our desired goal is either improbable or impossible to achieve due to a specific road block (although I do believe almost anything is possible). For all other cases, falling short of our goals originates from one single thing; lack of will power. So how do we break out of this shell and strengthen our will power? The answer lies within our 4th habit for success; perseverance.

Before reading any further, I’d highly recommend looking through the habits for success discussed in precious weeks in order to better your self today.

2. 1st habit for success: go-getter (here)

3. 2nd habit for success: prioritization (here)

4. 3rd habit for success: altruism (here)

Perseverance is defined by dictionary.com as “a steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement”. There are various moments in life where we just want to give up when the going gets tough. Along with being proactive, perseverance is the conditioning of our own will-power to help us keep moving forward, regardless of what gets in our way.

Quite often, we become discouraged by failure and our aspirations end up coming to a halt. Quite often, we come up short on a desired goal because we tell ourselves “we did enough”. With the many obstacles we face in this world today, how are we able to overcome daily adversities in order to stay atop the madness? We can quickly break down perseverance into 3 steps.

First, think of will-power as a muscle. In order to get stronger you must train your will-power each and every single day. By being active and productive, your will-power will increase. Simply start by prioritizing what is important that needs to get done. Instead of thinking “I have time to do this later”, just do it right there and then. Instead of watching TV or taking a nap at the middle of the day, try reading books and articles or working out. As your will-power becomes stronger, you begin to accomplish more every single day.

Second, you need to believe in yourself (as cliché as this sounds). Will-power can come a long way, but if you don’t believe in yourself from the start, you have already counted yourself out. Always believe that you can and that you will succeed one way or another, regardless of what may come at you. Start by setting little goals, like reaching a certain weight if you are on a diet, or getting a certain grade in your class. By first achieving little goals, we begin to believe in ourselves more and more, which paves a roadway for bigger goals to get accomplished.

Lastly, you need to always stay humble. If you become satisfied with what you have already accomplished, the passion and will-power will dissipate. Staying humble is being able to take an extra step further after you have already given it your all. Think about it this way, there are 9 billion people in this world, so AT LEAST 1 person is trying to one-up you. Never settle.

Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and is now the greatest player to ever play basketball. Mark Cuban had to live at his friend’s apartment floor because he had no money to afford rent, and is now a renowned billionaire. Thomas Edison failed over 1000 times before finally creating the world’s first light bulb. Simply put, perseverance is about getting back on your feet whenever you get knocked down, and persistently putting in as much effort as you can, in order to achieve endless results.

How would you like people to remember you by when all is said and done? Although ambiguous, this question helps us to understand exactly what our 3rd habit for success entails; altruism. Before reading any further, I would highly recommend reading my previous blogs if you truly want to better yourself today:

1. How to get rid of bad habits (http://www.tumalon.com/blogs/tumalon-lifestyle-blog/90292033-major-key-to-success-breaking-bad-habits)

2. 1st habit for success: go-getter (http://www.tumalon.com/blogs/tumalon-lifestyle-blog/92158401-major-keys-to-success-go-getters)

3. 2nd habit for success: prioritization (http://www.tumalon.com/blogs/tumalon-lifestyle-blog/93030913-keys-to-success-prioritization)

So what is altruism? Altruism is the principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others. So why is altruism important? Of course, we have all heard sayings like “treat others the way that you would like to be treated”, yet for some reason this saying is easier said than done. We have been subconsciously programmed in our heads that it’s a dog eat dog world, or simpler put, survival of the fittest. Even though some people still believe this holds true, I am here to tell you “survival of the fittest” is not the case.

How can this be? In today’s society, it really comes down to who you know, and how many friends and connections you have in order to really give you an advantage on your road to success. Michael Jordan didn’t become the greatest basketball player without the help of mentors like Phil Jackson along the way. Steve Jobs didn’t create Apple without the help of Steve Wozniak and co. Louis didn’t explore the western wilderness without the help of Clark (and Pocahontas). Almost everyone we know, famous or not, has had help to get to where they are. In fact, in today’s society, the underlying fact is that we are able to achieve more at a faster pace with the help of others.

So how exactly do we receive help from others? It all starts with being altruistic. This requires having integrity, maturity, and an abundance mentality. Basically, people like other people that genuinely care about their personal well-being, as well as being trustworthy and respectful. By being altruistic, we are better able to make more friends because people are more inclined to trust us and respect us, as well as make this world a better place.

To be altruistic, we must genuinely care about an opposing parties views, and find a middle ground to make it a win/win situation. We must be willing to give without expecting anything in return. We must always strive to do the right thing, no matter what the scenario is. We must invest in people’s abilities and believe in them, just as we would like them to believe in us. We must not talk behind people’s backs, because that’s how the person you’re currently talking to will perceive you. We must be honest, even when at times it may be difficult for the respective party to grasp.

People remember you by the way you made them feel, which can explain why first impressions are such a big deal. The simple fact is that if you make them feel good, they will always remember you as the person that was always caring. In partnerships or business transaction, being altruistic and helping both sides benefit the most leads to better deals and better communication. For sports team, sharing the ball and communication leads to better teamwork and better overall success. For a relationship, this is pretty much exactly what you would want your partner, as well as yourself, to be like in order to boost communication and overall happiness.

Before I close this segment, it is imperative to mention that one should not follow the steps of being altruistic just to take advantage of people. If you do all the necessary things yet have alternative motives only to better yourself, that my friend is being greedy and unjust. Although in the short term you may get your way, over time people will most definitely catch on and avert you, I promise you that.

With great power comes great responsibility, and being altruistic represents genuinely caring about the well-being of others in order to always create win/win situations and create friendships. With the help of good business, as well as many friends, we can more rapidly prosper on our road to success.
