It takes the discipline of conviction to stay focused on goals even when you are not seeing the key results you envisaged when you set the goals.

While persistence is a great value, it is usually tough when you begin to imagine that you are actually doing the wrong thing or you are doing the right things wrongly as you labour.

However convinced you are about what you are doing, it is almost impossible not to have doubt creep in at intervals. One thing overrides doubt: The drive to keep going regardless of mixed feelings of conviction.
