Thank you for this post. Perseverance is something I sorely need at this point in my life. Both st home and on Steemit. Thank you for reminding me to be stubborn with a purpose. Usually, perseverance is my middle name! Lately I feel worn by the struggle so perseverance feels like it is a thing of the past right now.
Hi! So glad you can relate, I understand how you feel. When that feeling creeps up on us it can be so crippling, I started to act in defiance by doing the exact opposite of what my emotions tell me to do in those moments, and in the end it feels so good knowing I conquered it. It is a great reference point. Plus, when we really think about it, that's the only time when our perseverance is actually useful, so im trying to develop a habitual response to that feeling. Response being, the opposite of what the emotion says. In the end, we will win :)
I definitely like the acting in defiance. It suits my passive aggressive side of my nature. Glad to have connected with you!
