Consistent vs persistent, which one are you? I am always trying to challenge language in how we communicate towards others. Look at any Instagram influencer and they are always talking about consistency. The power of consistency, how consistency will be the inevitable change that if you choose to be consistent with your endeavors, inevitably things will change. Consistent is defined as: acting or done in the same way over time, especially so as to be fair or accurate. Personally I am more of a fan of persistence. Just as persistence is defined: continuing firmly or obstinately in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition. Persistence to me seems a little more my speed and as well I can relate more to persistence. Anyone who believes that society is holding them back in a certain way can use it as a way of thinking that no matter the opposition or difference someone has about your way of life. They will not only just be another obstacle, they will also just be another face in a crowd of people that are not worth your time in fighting. Opposition is defined as: resistance or dissent, expressed in action or argument. OR a group of adversaries or competitors, especially a rival political party or athletic team. Being persistent against those you disagree with, you learn weaknesses, or even better, how to utilize their strengths against them. Don’t focus solely on those who disagree with you, focus on more those you can add to your idea and that can help you build the empire you intended. Who knows, it may be so big that they can’t help but to see your side or live the way you do without knowing it. Kind of like those who bitch about capitalism and child labor laws all while wearing Nike Shoes. Contradictions in life are funny. Persistence to me is all about creating who you are going to be in the long run. Be persistent in your battles toward what you want and battles will be things that don’t even phase you. Numb to the feeling of being challenged, all you will see is opportunity, and those who are too lazy, entitled will stop fighting you. My hope for this blog is that people would begin to challenge the lessons being taught to them. think about what has been told to you by your father, your mother, a teacher. See if in a way you could do better than those who tried to influence you while growing up. Were they just passing knowledge that didn’t work for them, or were they just full of shit.
