For example, maybe you're waiting for a relationship or something of that sort. You can't really be persistent in that case scenario without seeming like a stalker. Sometimes you really do just have to wait and be patient until that special person comes along❤
I'm also a firm believer in karma. What goes around comes around; both positive and negative. I believe that if you send out nothing but positive energy, that is what you will receive in return. But, sometimes you do have to wait for it. You don't just do a good deed and get rewarded the next day. But believe me, it is well worth it!
But good things also come to those who are persistent and refuse to give up on what they want.
Even when you are being patient, you're still being mentally persistent. You're not letting go of the desire to have what it is you want. You still hope, believe, think, and pray that some day, you will get what it is you've been asking for, even if you are not verbally asking or it.
It could be something so basic as(and I know this is a terrible analogy) a kid wanting a new toy. Kids are usually very stubborn and won't stop until they get what they want.
With my own experiences, such as my weight loss. I didn't drop the pounds by sitting on my butt, waiting for them to melt away. No, I'm persistent with myself and do what has to be done to accomplish what I really want.
An example even more personal, from the time I was 8 years old up until now, I prayed every single night, and I really mean every single night, that my Dad would quit smoking. Did I REALLY see it happening? Honestly, not really. But I have Faith in God and anything is possible for those who believe. Approximately 3,100 prayers later, and my Dad hasn't touched a cigarette in a month.
You really just have to choose your action based on the situation at hand. But if its something you really want, don't give up on it❤
