What is the difference between patience and persistence?\nBy itself, patience is just the ability to tolerate the passing of time. Don\u2019t sit at home dreaming about what you want high on your mom\u2019s couch, broke, sick and alone. What you really want is to blend patience with persistence.\nPersistence is the ability to push and push and push and push. It's the ability to be stubborn in the best possible sense of the word. These people are consistent and persistent in the pursuit of their potential, even if they aren\u2019t always enjoying it.\nDefining Patience, Persistence, and Perseverance\nPatience is the ability to accept or tolerate delay, difficult situations, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. Basically, the ability to find the light, the love, and lessons within those challenges. Persistence is a fairly simple concept revolving around the ability to continue on. Meanwhile, perseverance refers to one\u2019s determination. Those who are determined can maintain steady belief or efforts in spite of discouragement or difficulty. Those individuals pursue learning those lessons rather than quitting, finding the light and love in what others might deem \u201cfailure\u201d.\nWhile these terms are linked, there are subtle differences. Some will say that the words persistence and perseverance seem to indicate action, while patience is inaction. I am here to tell you this is absolutely not true!\n\nFollow the Road to Revenue Playlist on Spotify:\xa0https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2xBCPHs9IWy5kYPO94rJ0N?si=3936604f462342dd\n\nTweet me your takeaway from today\u2019s episode @davidmeltzer\xa0\n\nEmail Me! david@dmeltzer.com\n\nSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1\n\nText Me!
