I have been thinking of this word a lot lately. Initially because one of my dear friends kept brining it up. He kept telling me to have tenacity while I was trying to finish off my degree. It is particularly relevant to me now as I am trying to grab myself a job and (this is even more important) as I go after my dreams.

The thing about dreams is they tend to be these scary, risk filled things to go after. They also tend to be things that people can stomp on if you let them.

A dream can be a fragile thing.  

What better word than tenacious could be used to describe how we should pursue our dreams?
So that’s what I intend to do, I wand to hold firmly to my dreams, I will go after them with a stubborn persistence.

Tenacious… it just might be my most favorite word.
