# Chapter 327

Persistence is the best superpower. It has consistently brought me all the best gifts in my life. It has become such a integral part of my life, that I don’t even think of it as persistence or really anything. If there is a job to be done, then get it done. That is why when the farm work was completed yesterday at this location, I went to a different property and continued working, because there was . . . well, more work to be finished. That is one kind of persistence, yet there are other expressions, but they all same this same component - staying at it until the job gets done. It’s how our weekly communication piece gets done - for 28 years. It’s how you finish your doctoral studies and dissertation while working a full-time job in a foreign country. It’s how you speak multiple languages. It’s how you come to hold the senior position in your office. It’s how lunch gets put on the table decade after decade. It’s how you get the girl you have been chasing, the love of your life. It’s how you survive parenthood. It’s how you navigate elder care. It’s how you grow as a person, self-development is all about persistence.

It is also how you reach your goals, grow your portfolio, reap the rewards of your investments, and produce value over the course of your life. It’s how you find what you need and get what you pursue. It is how you and I make progress in all that we aim for and strive to achieve. Persistence is your friend and superpower. Stay at it, chip away at it, keep nibbling at it, continue chewing on it, and every tree will fall to your will in the end.
