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.
