Persistence and perseverance are not about sticking to your method. They are about sticking to your goal.
To stick to a method that fails you is like banging your head on a wall and waiting for the wall to say “I give up .” It’s a cruddy feeling to “give up” in the heat of the moment, so it seems like a good idea to devise a plan in advance for putting the plan on the chopping block.
Far goes the person who loves to find out that they were wrong.
Persistence and perseverance are not about sticking to your method. They are about sticking to your goal. YES
