Don’t stop your training before the magic happens! Nothing worthwhile ever comes easy. We’ve all seen it…Sometimes students quit their training because they’re frustrated…often stepping away right before the breakthrough happens. Don’t give up on yourself!
We hate to see students work hard for weeks or months, and then suddenly stop their training when things get hard. We’ve all been there, but it’s SO important to PUSH through and BELIEVE in yourself! If your child quits karate too soon (or if you stop attending your kickboxing classes), your family will miss out on the MAGIC that happens when PERSEVERANCE meets HARD WORK!
Remember: Every Total Impact black belt was once a beginner who refused to give up. Keep pushing, keep training, and let your dedication SHINE! Achieving greatness and making progress both take time. Invest in yourself and your family at Total Impact by consistently showing up and giving your ALL in every class, even if it’s difficult or you’re not feeling it.
Goals will always encounter roadblocks; it is critical to persevere and overcome obstacles – whether in the dojo, at home, or school. At Total Impact, we’re aware that there are sometimes when both the students and parents wish to quit. That’s why we’re here with 12 motivational, inspiring quotes that you can use to keep going!
Perseverance: The Power to Push Through
Perseverance is the continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition: the action or condition or an instance of persevering, aka steadfastness! Persistence is the power of keeping on with a chase or in a tribe in spite of handicaps or obstacles. It is the attribute of having the desire and the drive to persist on a given course of action regardless of the challenges that may be faced. It’s the quality that allows someone to keep going when it would be easier to quit. This is what separates the ordinary and the excellent!
Why is it important to teach young people perseverance?
Teaching perseverance to young people equips them with a vital tool for life. Our programs help kids and teens to develop:
- Resilience: The ability to bounce back from failures and setbacks.
- Determination: A strong drive to achieve goals.
- Problem-solving skills: They learn to find creative solutions to challenges.
- Confidence: Overcoming difficulties boosts self-belief.
- Character: Perseverance builds grit and determination.
Martial arts students are trained to look forward to delayed gratification, it makes them grasp the idea that success can be the consequence of dedication, hard work, and consistency! By promoting the culture of perseverance among our young students, it teaches them to be independent, strong and most importantly equipped with the ability to handle all that life throws at them. Nothing good or worthwhile in life ever comes easy!
