Tenacity, Part I

Tenacity. Great word. How tenacious are you? How easily do you give up, let something go that seems too difficult to accomplish? How would you know if you’re just on the brink of a breakthrough if you give up?

Great quote that I’m remembering from Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb; the phonograph; the kinetoscope, the first device for recording moving pictures; the steel alkaline storage battery. His relatively famous quote: “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work,” was in reference to his effort to develop that battery. And another quote: “I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.” In fact, he never saw his failures as that. He saw them as successful attempts at discovering ways a thing did NOT work. Now that’s tenacity!

We had a great discussion today on BlogTalkRadio.com on the subject of Tenacity. You can check it out here: BTR.com/tenacity. It’s a two-hour interview, and we didn’t even get to finish the subject. We’ll take the topic up again next week at 11am Eastern time, Tuesday, June 22 here: BTR.com/tenacity/2. So bookmark that page and join us next week.

And a reminder, this is part of our 12-part series on “How to Get Well Then Stay Well for Life.” So be sure to tune in and join us.
