One of the most admirable characteristics a person can possess is persistence. Without persistence, no great achievement is possible.
Everyone can set goals and make plans for success; however, only a few succeed in achieving their goals. Developing persistence is a way to ensure that you will reach your goals and achieve success.
Here are four practical ways that you can develop persistence and achieve your goals.
One of the biggest challenges that people have, when they want to achieve their goals and create success, is procrastination. I was watching a video by a well-known promoter of the Law of Attraction who was talking about why people suffer from procrastination and while he covered one of the underlying reasons for it (limiting beliefs), he missed an important factor in what causes procrastination.

Learn how to break down those barriers by recognizing and appreciating your achievements.
