==== Strategies for Perseverance ====
Perseverance is the steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. It’s about maintaining your effort and commitment, even when the going gets tough.

'''Practical Strategy''': Set SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) to maintain focus and direction. Break down larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed and track your progress regularly.

'''Example''': Think of Thomas Edison, who made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the lightbulb. When asked about his failures, he famously said, “I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The lightbulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.” His perseverance and unwavering commitment to his goal led to one of the most significant inventions in history.
