Perserverance and Stubbornness
Cordova, TN; March 25, in the year of
our Lord 2024 -- Family Friendly Gaming, the industry
leader in covering the family friendly video games is continuing
to be the voice of diversity in the gaming media, and media at
large. I love to explore a plethora of different topics, and
ideas in these weekly columns. There are so many things that
fascinate me, come across my path, and more. Recently I have
been mulling over two things. These two things are perseverance
and stubbornness. Have you ever consider the connections between
the two? Have you ever wondered how closely related some things
actually are?
Definition: perseverance
Steady persistence in adhering to a course of action, a belief,
or a purpose; steadfastness.
First and foremost perseverance is considered to be a positive
thing. You persevered. You made it through something. You were
able to complete a real challenge. A lot of times when
challenges come to us others will tell us the growth that we
will receive by persevering through something. We will learn
about ourselves, and are able to build confidence. The alternate
is to give up, and be a quitter. Who wants to be labeled as a
quitter?
Definition: stubborn
Refusing to change one's mind or course of action despite
pressure to do so; unyielding or resolute.
Generally if you are stubborn it is something that others
consider to be a negative thing. In fact people call one another
stubborn to be insulting. You refuse to accept some change. You
keep doing the same thing. You won't change your course of
action. You won't change your beliefs. You are steadfast with
what you are doing and how you are doing. You persistently do
and/or say the same things. If you are stubborn then you will
not change.
Notice how closely related these two are? You have to be
stubborn to be persistent. Sure you could be playing a game and
keep failing at something by using the same strategy. So you can
try a different strategy and persevere. You could also keep
doing the same thing in a stubborn way and succeed. It dawned on
me that being stubborn is not a bad thing if you are persevering
in and with something. I am not clear why so many people think
being stubborn is a bad thing. I can be stubborn in my obedience
to God, and persevere for His Kingdom.
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
God bless,
