Stay persistent in the face of obstacles from "summary" of Do the Work! by Steven Pressfield
In the face of obstacles, the only way to keep moving forward is to stay persistent. When we encounter challenges, setbacks, or doubts, it can be easy to give up. But it is during these moments that we must dig deep and find the strength to push through. Obstacles are a natural part of any creative endeavor. They can come in many forms - self-doubt, fear, criticism, lack of resources - but they all serve the same purpose: to test our commitment and determination. If we allow these obstacles to derail us, we will never reach our full potential. Persistence is not about brute force or sheer willpower. It is about having the resilience to bounce back from failure, the patience to endure setbacks, and the courage to keep going when the going gets tough. It is a mindset that allows us to stay focused on our goals, no matter what stands in our way. In the face of obstacles, we must be willing to adapt, to learn from our mistakes, and to keep pushing forward. We must be willing to embrace the struggle, knowing that it is all part of the journey towards success. We must be willing to stay the course, even when the path ahead seems uncertain or daunting.- We not only prove our dedication to our craft but also demonstrate our resilience and strength of character. We show ourselves and the world that we are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve our goals. And in the end, it is this persistence that will ultimately lead us to success.
