People who have achieved success are those who chose to persist and press on in spite of hardships. However, "don’t give up” is easier said than done, so it is no wonder many people can't cope and simply quit.
So what can you do to increase your perseverance? An article on the addicted2success.com website offers several tips.
Accept that setbacks are unavoidable
To put it simply, there is no way of becoming successful without going through challenges and overcoming obstacles. Failure is not the opposite of success; it is actually part of it. An aircraft takes off against the wind, not with it. If you read the success stories of famous people, they often experienced tough times. That's just how it is: you cannot avoid setbacks. So instead treat your bleak days as opportunities for building your personal resilience and persistence.
Learn from successful people
If you can, take advice from people who have succeeded and learn from them. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice and seek help when you need it. You might be surprised how people are willing to help and support others.
Start with one small step
Sometimes you just need to take one further step: it may be small but still needs to be taken. Ultimately, success is an accumulation of small-scale victories and gradual improvements.
Use your experience and any feedback
When things are just not working out, you still can try to find a solution based on your experience. Learn from it, take time to understand why you seem not to be making any progress. Perhaps what you are doing is wrong or your strategy is inappropriate. Or maybe you just need to give it one more try.
