Persistence is beyond talent, as the reality of fulfillment is right beyond that last frustration and depression. Sure, as you can tell, this is going to be a major article about life and how to deal with it. So fasten your seat belts on this read, this is going to take you places you need to go, have to go, and give you a sight like you probably have not seen yet of yourself.
Sure, we all love to win, but initial losing and doing poorly at first is all part of the training until you do gain proficiency and skill.
Do you realize that the most efficient and wonderful value producers started out the most backward and seemingly losing people there were until they reversed their trend and worked at it with persistence, trial, error and realistic overcoming? Sure, I could make this article about "just think positive and you will achieve!", but who needs more of that. Sure, I could make this article an easy one to read. Is life ever easy to experience without work, persistence, and doing something about it, though?
Let me answer that question with a loaded "not at all": Sure, we would all love all the advantages and ease without the work, even those great people who genuinely work at it all sometimes want that when they get frustrated and cannot "strike up greatness at their instant command" and have to master it with persistence, hard work and genuine understanding.
Even with "all the advantages from birth" work has to be done without exception. Think deeply about that before you go on.
My Dad once told me this in essence, many of the exact words, a few I am paraphrasing into proper English, but anyhow it is pretty accurate: "You are gifted son, but I am not going to force them gifts out of you, you have to make the decision to develop those gifts and work at it always. Sure, I could beat the gifts out of you like Michael Jackson and his group of brothers Dad did, but, what would that be worth? A few million or billion dollars at the most in value or dancing on a television or movie screen? I am preparing you for what is real, and worth much more anyway." The words in italics were his exact words as I genuinely remember them. But I had to paraphrase most of what he said, because I remember him using idioms, some inappropriate language and improper English, but the meaning is all there though of what he said to me about this reality, and that is what counts.
There are times, like anyone that I wish I could have an easier path than working at it, and persistence. Is there really an easy path though without somehow paying the price for eternal greatness? Even Jesus Christ, Mohandas/Mahatma Gandhi and Gautama Buddha said a resounding never through their actions and work. Nixon, Trump and Bill Clinton said "yes", but look what they did to say "yes": Scandals, headaches, "Wag the Dog" type war pageantry and dirty tricks that involve well-hidden high crimes and misdemeanors. Either way, you or I cannot avoid it: The price for real. After all, it may seem more fun and easy to be phony, but, if you want it for real, you have definitely got to pay the cost without flinching, with full persistence; warts, work and all. That is the final verdict I have on reality. I may feel frustrated at times, indeed, I do not let it get the best of me, I go with that final verdict.
