What is one word that describes you?
English dictionary describes the word tenacious as an adjective that describes somebody who does not stop holding on something or give up something easily. It is also used to mean determined.
Another dictionary meaning is one that is continuing to exist or having influence for longer time than expected, that is, persistence. For example in a sentence,
My aunt is in intensive care unit of a hospital but she is tenaciously clinging to life.
why does it describe me?
The reason that words describes me is because i rarely gives up. I have pursued dreams and goals for years and will not rest till i see them achieved. Sometimes pursuit of goals leaves me emotionally drained and physically fatigued and socially isolated. This is because i give total concentration to pursuit of a goal even when failure is imminent.
I have endured difficulties of life, gone through very difficult circumstances that could results to nervous breakdown or severe depression but am still here, strong and enduring. Sometimes i consider it a sheer luck or miracle that am a life. I have refused to die when i was very sick and i refused to die when i was drowned in river.
Just like a tree in desert places, i have endured storms of life.
I usually fight through situations everyone else considers hopeless but i see victory and success even if they say it is hopeless. But thank God you are not me, i doubt you have capacity to hold my pains, endurance and my heart. I have been deeply hurt by people i keep loving. I keep trying amidst aggressive resistance, That is why i confidently say that am tenacious.
My secrets to success
I have a God that helps me. If you have not a God to help you, you may not endure like me.
