You are right, perseverance always goes hand in hand with dedication. Therefore, it is important to set the right goals for yourself. Many people make a big mistake, setting too many goals or too unrealistic goals. If we set too many goals, this reduces the likelihood that we will achieve each of them separately. After all, our forces, our time and in general our resources are not unlimited. Subsequently, each such failure in achieving a particular goal will hurt painfully by self-esteem, by volitional qualities, and by the manifestation of perseverance in the implementation of subsequent goals.
It is necessary to determine the really desirable goal, so that the forward movement does not stop and nothing prevents persistence. The goal should be as clear as possible. Your goal should be concrete and real. Do not plan to move the moon from its orbit. All that is needed to be persistent is to draw up an action plan so that to use a variety of ways in achieving the goal.
