PERSEVERANCE
One in Perseverance relates through taking your goal/relationship one step at a time- steadily moving from
Point A to Point B, getting the job done, always progressing and producing results. There's a strong emphasis on getting back up and never giving up, not on getting knocked down.
You grow intimacy through constantly assessing the value of one's actions or lack thereof- and the way one moves and interacts through their body to make their actions count. So as such, you live and die by the motto that "actions speak louder than words".
Because of this strong call to action, it's important for you to always complete your pursuits in life too.

NEGATIVE SPECTRUM
-Unchanging is what happens when you constantly confront obstacles in your relationships and goals. It's when you try to knock down, push forward/into, or clear away those obstacles in the way of your path until they’re overcome- and resist all other experiences and changes beyond this focus.
You determine a path, and for that to change, alter or be disrupted only means everything you aim for will be lost. So you sense no movement/progress can be made until the obstacle is removed.
---
In this sense, Unchanging isn't about moving forward, but holding yourself and others back.
It is about locking someone into their flaws+insecurities and not letting them grow until they show some kind of acceptable remorse, guilt, shame etc. for what they have or haven't done- even as a means of projecting blame onto them, to avoid your own insecurities, weaknesses and excuses for what you have/haven't done.

SLIDING
When you fall into -Unchanging, you begin to create patterns of -Belligerence- with no concern for the effects of your actions. So you simply plow forward & spiral into chaotic or scattered relationships, goals, and directions.
To move into +Persistence, you must allow for +Dynamism in your relationship/experience.
In other words, the road to completion is not a straight line, but includes all of the fluctuations, surprises, changes, diversions and unknowns along the way. All of these dynamic experiences do not actually distract from or impede progress, but instead help supply the resources+fuel to persevere.
---
You can also choose to actively and intimately participate in your relationship/experience & truly allow all their parts to be seen and understood with a persistent sense of +Clarity- working to shift away from an unchanging -Surveillance
of everything that feels like just another obstacle.
POSITIVE SPECTRUM
A shift into +Persistence means you let these various obstacles contribute to your experiences, goals and relationships. So you're able to navigate with, through or around them- while also knowing you, your path and any obstacles on it can change and evolve along the way.
The road ahead is alive and ever-shifting, and you simply see all experiences you move through in your heart, mind, body and world as necessary parts of the long-haul and long-term strategy- openly embracing them for their meaning once you get to where you're going.
---
Persistence is about truly moving forward- with all of your flaws, insecurities, frustrations etc. So you learn how to carry everything and keep on keeping on, but you draw the line if that's ever harmful.
You no longer despise weaknesses, but heal, unite and transform them into strengths- while valuing the same stance of responsibility and vulnerability for ones weaknesses from others.

ATTRACTION & WOUNDING
Perseverance is most attractive to others for reflecting ones strengths and weaknesses, especially those that are based in what one does or doesn't do- which can be superficial or deep.
It is most attracted to ones physical presence- to any confidence & self-esteem one shows through their Body Type. So you tend to find most Common Ground in Appearances and Behavior.
---
This means you can feel most wounded when anything physically meaningful changes in the relationship- such as your or their indiscretion, cheating, ill health, lack of productivity etc. You despise weaknesses, insecurity and excuses that are used to avoid action- so if you or others compulsively act this way, it can become quite a sore spot that calls into question the value and strength of your relationship.
To heal, it simply helps if you or another does something about this, Taking Action so that the direction taken on your paths can be rebuilt. Physicality and tangibility are important for your healing.
