What helped me not give up.
Perseverance is not giving up when going gets tough and fight on until you get it. During my time i had to learn this the hard way. I used to back off and start over all the time . Obs and h helped me grow so much. I think looking back they really do not want to start over now.
What i find helpful to wanting to help me not going back to old ways is
1 make sure i am around people that support me and be there for me. I think i am more willing to trust people this time around. I have trusting issues.
2 keep learning and growing.
I truly think that learning , growing and becoming a better person is key part of not giving up. As I said before i am always looking for new learning opportunities like rooms , academy programs and courses. Also chat support , peer support , forums , mentors and trainings are all part of it.
3 Me being willing move forward from my old ways,
For example tonight something happened that made me want to start over but I do not want to start over.

Lovely post! Perseverance, to me, is about finding and having that inner drive and belief in yourself to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals, no matter how difficult the journey may be.
When I feel rough and like giving up, I remind myself of my purpose and why I am fighting so hard to begin with. I also recognize that it's okay to take a break. Everyone has a fuel tank and everyone needs to stop and refuel. I am always trying to be gentle and patient with myself, too, and remember that I am human and as long as I keep trying, I'm doing well. I'm doing my best and that's all the reason to keep going, to not give up. Failure is not in the mistakes we make; failure is only failure when you give up!

Perseverance to me means persistence and tenacity, the effort required to do something and keep doing it till the end, even if it's hard.
What are some ways to help you out when you feel like giving up?
When I feel like giving up or that I just can't do something I try to find someone to help me with the problem and see if they can do it. This normally helps me when I am taking college classes and I need some guidance. Another way is to remind myself on why this is important to me and why I should not give up. Even when I want to.
@Heartsandrosesandpaws
To me, perseverance means never giving up no matter how many setbacks you may face. Facing setbacks is very difficult, but it's important to learn from them and grow as a person. When I feel like giving up I think about all the progress that I've made so far. This motivates me to keep moving forward with my goals even if something is causing me to think about giving up. We must use setbacks as educational tools rather than letting them define us by giving up.

What does perseverance mean to you? Not to give up, not giving up, stay strong; when the going gets tough, the tougher you get, you don't let things stand in your way.
