Pursuing Your Passion with Blind Persistance

During my short stint at a private investigator, I had the opportunity to face my fears. I was afraid of a lot of things, but being determine wasn’t one of them.

Several months into it, my supervisor called me a “bulldog” because he said I didn’t let go of the target once I found it. In retrospect, I think it’s the same stubborn perseverance that has kept me writing thus far.

Freelance writer Jordan Rosenfeld of Make a Scene called it being “blindly persistent” in our interview here. My friend also echoed the sentiment saying that I too, had that same kind of fanaticism. I realized that not only was this an accurate statement about my personality, but it was also a necessity in making it as a writer (or any wild dream for that matter).

When the going gets tough (and they will), you will need to ride the wave of courage and hold fast to your dreams to get there.

More importantly, you never know at what point your hard work will pay off. Even when they’re times you feel like you’re not going anywhere, you could be right at the precipice of change. Keep hanging on, focus, and be like a bulldog and never let go!
