Persistence is half crap

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

Did I get your attention?

We have been conditioned to think that when we struggle, if we just stay at it longer and harder that things will get better.  But what if we are doing it wrong?  What if we are going in the wrong direction?Will staying at it longer and harder help us then?  No.

We must notice the feedback the world is giving us – the results our approach deserves, and make changes.

What you must persist in is not doing it; but doing it/noticing/changing/doing it different/repeat. Persist in that cycle.

THEN persistence is something you can’t succceed without.

What are you persisting in?

Yes – and you are right, this is a thinking shift.

Rob Videon

AMEN to that Larry!

Paul Sutton

Do you just write these for me? I feel like most of them have my name on them…like you’re inside my head and know just what I need to hear. Creepy, but keep it coming!

Jeff Nelson

Yes…you got my attention!
With the message and especially with the comment box.

After “What a moment, wait a moment” that was Rainer Finke’s favorite saying.
