Seneca said, “there is also steadfastness, that cannot be dislodged from its position, and cannot be made to abandon its purpose by any exertion of force.”

I prefer to think of my goal-oriented lifestyle as steadfastly dedicated to those goals, rather than an effect of a stubborn nature.  The difference may seem subtle but it’s really rather huge – in this context I mean to suggest to you that steadfastness is a choice,  while stubbornness is a reflex or an otherwise unconscious behaviour.

Steadfastness is consistency in pursuing a goal or living out a vision; it has been the critical factor to success in my past academics, athletics and business.

Now steadfast adherence to my image of a happy, healthy, busy and self-aware home is top of mind because, to paraphrase Aristotle: happiness is not a state we pass in or out of. Rather, happiness is something we DO.

be well.
