What is tenacity ?
You have your plans and you are reaching for your goal. It is difficult but you are pressing on. There is nothing that can stop you from reaching your final destination. Then out of nowhere comes some event that totally knocks you off course. That event can be a number of things; lost of job, illness, death of a loved one, an accident, etc. There are numerous things that can be thrown your way. I have heard athletes talk about how they go over the plays in their minds before the game. What would I do if the ball is my hand? That is a question that needs to be answered before the game starts. So out of nowhere comes this event and you find yourself looking at your goal moving away from you. It has moved further away than it was before the unfortunate event. You are experiencing a set-back. Instead of moving forward, you have moved backwards. In fact, from the new vantage point you cannot see a way to take you back to your goal. At this point many people throw up their hands and give up.
