The reason why we say ‘superpower’ is because not a lot tends to use it. The usual course of action is people don’t persevere when something goes wrong. They drop everything and quit doing it.

They’ll say that it was ‘too hard’ or something similar. It’s important that you do the opposite of that. You want to be clear in what you want your ultimate goal to be.

Likewise, you also want to be clear on how you are going to achieve them. This also includes brainstorming about possible setbacks. You’ll know a few of the common ones that exist.

Once you do, you’ll find a way to navigate through those obstacles. All the while, you’ll be able to utilize the power of perseverance in order to successfully break the barriers and move forward. It’s the reason why you have this book in your hand right now.

It is your intent to persevere through the challenges. To break through the barriers set up by external factors and your selflimiting beliefs. There may be some ‘shiny objects’ or similar things that may throw you off course.

All you need to do is stay the course. Don’t take your eyes off the prize. Even on days when things seem to be painful, you want to remember what you’re focusing on.
