Perseverance

Perseverance is the steady persistence in adhering to a course of action, a belief, or a purpose, particularly in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement. It is frequently associated with long-term goals that require sustained effort and commitment. In Hebrew, perseverance is translated as עקשנות (akshanut). In other languages, it is known as persévérance in French, perseveranza in Italian, perseverancia in Spanish, and Ausdauer in German. Perseverance is a key trait in many cultural and personal contexts, often celebrated as a virtue that leads to success and resilience. Historically, it has been emphasized in various philosophies and religions as a means to overcome adversity and achieve personal growth. In modern psychology, perseverance is considered a component of grit, a quality that combines passion and perseverance for long-term goals.
