Perseverance has not always been my strong suit, but it seems that my stick-to-it-ive-ness gets better and better as I age. Used to be when the going got tough....I would find somewhere else to play. Now, when adversity rears its ugly head, perseverance kicks in, the problem gets solved, and I grow stronger.
Stronger in my ability because the next time I am faced with the same or a similar problem, I will know what to do. Stronger mentally because I have thought through a problem and solved it.
Perseverance does not guarantee success. Sometimes you may put all your resources into solving a problem and still not succeed. When that happens to me I have to step back, away from the problem, clear my head, focus on something else for a short while, and usually I can come back to the problem and work it out. I am a much happier person now that, through perseverance, problems are solved.
