Press on.
I believe perseverance is one of the most admirable qualities in a person. Although starting something may be hard, I get really tired of everything if I spend too much time on it and I feel like giving up. I’ve learned to use this to my advantage, by envisioning the reward - the light at the end of the tunnel.
It’s like diving. The task is the actual diving itself, whilst the effort represents the amount of oxygen in the tank. The reward is returning to the surface after using up all of the oxygen. It’s hard work to achieve the dive, but the rewards are long-lived and far outweigh the effort.
I am hypocritical to say that I’ve ever persevered in a “relationship” because I haven’t. I hope that one day, my emotions will mature themselves and I’ll finally be able to fall in love.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
