Study Notes
Persistence Hunting
- Persistence hunting is a hunting technique where humans chase animals until exhaustion, leveraging sweat glands for sustained effort.
- Tarahumara people, known as the "running people," are renowned for this style of hunting, documented by explorer Frederick Schwatka.
- Example: Tarahumara hunters pursued deer for hours. The thin snow slowed the deer and enabled the catch.
Persistence and Achieving Goals
- Persistence hunting applies to pursuing dreams and goals, much like the Tarahumara chase wild animals
- Define goals from small wins leading to larger, long-term objectives, for confidence and momentum growth.
- Goal setting is like persistence hunting; establish small goals to achieve larger goals.
Sweat Equity
- Humans have a physical advantage (sweat glands) allowing them to withstand endurance runs unlike animals like cheetahs.
- This advantage is particularly apparent in persistence hunting.
- Cheetahs can run fast but overheat quickly, limiting their continuous running capability.
Persistence Hunting in the Present
- Persistence hunting is about remaining focused, resourceful, and open-minded in pursuing goals.
- Survival is based on consistent effort.
The Importance of Daily Actions
- Daily habits, which are part of persistence, lead to success.
- Each small action contributes to achieving large, long-term goals.
- One example: reaching a target weight, getting out of debt, or completing education are achieved through consistent, daily progress.
Fanatical Consistency
- Often, long-term success is about relentless consistency—repeated effort over time.
- Success takes time: Don't be discouraged if a goal takes longer than expected; it might be God's plan.
- Never quit if you haven’t received a signal from God
Counting the Days
- Each day counts, and is valuable, leading to success.
- God values and rewards the effort put into each day.
- The Israelites' 40-year journey from Mount Sinai to the Promised Land highlights the value of each day, demonstrating that losing or missing one day is consequential.
Getting Better Daily
- Continuous improvement is essential. Getting better each day contributes to long-term success— in all aspects of life.
- Examples: Daily practice for musicians, constant self-improvement for leaders, etc.
Importance of Staying Power
- Staying power (persistence) is vital in achieving goals.
- Successful individuals persevere consistently.
- Do not give up, persevere and be persistent.
God's Timing
- Trust God's timing for success.
- God's plans often transcend our expectations.
- Do not quit unless God instructs you to do so.
"One Day"
- Every day is potentially crucial—a day of significant opportunity.
- Today could be a day of great change or impact.
- Keep performing actions leading to God’s calling, as every day counts.
