Tenacity
Aug. 6, 2008
tenacity - persistence, stamina, chutzpah, determination, endurance, fortitude, grit
Have you ever stopped to observe spiders or weeds? It doesn't matter what obstacles arise both will come right back and try again. Seriously, you can knock down a spider web and by morning it will be rebuilt. You can kill off weeds and they come right back. You can pave yet a weed will find a crack or the smallest amount of soil to root. Now that's tenacity! Whatever synonym you want to use one of my strongest character traits is tenacity. Over the years this trait has served me very well. It has been a true blessing.

It is interesting that you posted this. It is so true. I had to laugh when I went to my office and across the doorway, a zipper spider had built a web. I'm not sure if it was its tenacity or mine, but I spent the morning opening the door for clients so that it could remain.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. And sometimes the most fragile seeming life forms do the most amazing things--like the monarch butterflies....
