The Power of Persistence

Having persistence in life is necessary in many ways.   I've realized how much of one's life is out of his/her control, thus causing anxiety.    Particularly with jobs, you can put your whole self out there--whether that be by applying, interviewing, using "do it yourself" methods of promotion, etc. and never get feedback.   It's very unsettling how no matter how fantastic or successful you think you are, the realization that no one's interested truly hurts.  Feelings of worthlessness, depression, loneliness and sadness all come to face REALLY quickly.  Personally, I feel the one step toward self-preservation is persistence.  It's so easy to be lazy and have the "things will come to me....all I need is to just get by" attitude.  However, it takes a certain person to hold the "power of persistence."   In today's chaotic and stressed times, staying persistent and keeping a structured lifestyle is crucial more than ever.  It's not easy, however success will be attained.  People quickly forget faces and voices, so the least one can do is follow-up--it shows great character and will make you stick out from the rest.  Every day of my life, I try to stay as persistent as possible and even though I may not feel like I"m getting anywhere, I know I'm remembered.  Until tomorrow~
