The Power of Tenacity: My Journey Through Challenges

in Weekend Experiences9 months ago

Hello Weekend-Engagement Community,

How have you guys been? Firstly, I want to extend my apologies for my extended absence from the Community as life and work have been consuming me lately, leaving little room for the vibrant interactions I always cherish here 😣

However, I am genuinely thrilled to witness this Community flourishing week by week, thanks in large part to the unwavering dedication of our moderator, @galenkp! The commitment to providing inspiration and thought-provoking topics for engagement is truly commendable. With that said, I am eager to jump back into the fold and contribute to this week's discussion. Today, I want to share my thoughts on a topic close to my heart: TENACITY!


In the arena of life, there's a quality that sets apart the determined souls from the rest: TENACITY! It's that unwavering resolve to pursue goals relentlessly, despite obstacles and setbacks. Do you have it? Well, I believe I do, or that is what I would like to think I possess.

From a young age, I was thrust into the role of the eldest son among four siblings. This meant shouldering responsibilities and being the beacon of support for my younger brothers and sister. It taught me independence and resilience early on, shaping my character to embrace challenges rather than shy away from them.


One concrete example of how I display the TENACITY trait would be through being a sportsman for the large part of my life. Sports, particularly basketball, became more than just a pastime for me; it became a testament to my TENACITY. Playing actively, I faced numerous injuries over the years. But each setback was met with an unwavering determination to bounce back stronger. Whether it was a sprained ankle or a muscle strain, I approached recovery with disciplined physiotherapy sessions and meticulous self-care routines.

Do pardon the slightly graphic photos of some of these injuries I sustained

The desire to return to the court wasn't just about playing the game I loved; it was about proving to myself that I could overcome adversity. Each injury became an opportunity to push my limits, to emerge not just recovered but improved. As the saying goes, "when the going gets tough, the tough get stronger"

TENACITY to me, is more than just perseverance; it's about resilience in the face of adversity and the willingness to grow through challenges. It's about refusing to be defined by setbacks but rather using them as stepping stones to greater heights.

In every aspect of my life, whether personal or professional, I carry this TENACITY with me. It's what drives me to pursue my dreams relentlessly, to never settle for mediocrity, and to always strive for excellence.

So, do I have tenacity? Without a doubt. It's ingrained in my being, cultivated through years of facing obstacles head-on and emerging stronger each time. And as I continue on my journey, I'll carry this TENACITY with me, knowing that no matter what challenges come my way, I have the resilience and determination to overcome them! 💪


As I wrap up my thoughts on the topic of TENACITY, I invite each of you to reflect on your own experiences as well. What does TENACITY mean to you, and how has it manifested in your life? Have there been moments when you've faced adversity head-on, refusing to back down? Share your stories, your triumphs, and your challenges with me as I love to hear about them!

Let's continue to inspire and uplift one another through our shared experiences. Together, let's celebrate the power of TENACITY and the resilience of the human spirit! 😇



Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and I look forward to sharing more next time!

PEACE OUT, @AK08

Let's not forget playing Splinterlands everyday with a broken mobile app lol and of course playing against the possible battle helpers / bots in modern. Many have given up and went to wild but u stayed strong

HAHA OMG! LOL so true!

oh do u play? O.O

Yes I play splinterlands! Haha!

oh dang what guild you in

Pizza 2! ;)

no idea much about that guild O.O

Oh yeah that is broken for sure! And yet we continue to grind day in and out.
Wonder how long that could last though, been finding it hard to keep up without the mobile application.

oh no. you try the web browser? that one probably better but you have to adapt to it leh. you're one of the strong scholars so hopefully you can keep playing

Yeah I tried, just not a good gaming experience in that small screen on my mobile.
Make alot of mistakes and hard to make adjustments to the positioning of the lineup during the team selection process.

wah then like that can be quite frustrating . can't really think of a way for it to work.

Yeah after all the promise to fix the UI, they end up decided to remove it altogether 😖

o.o You believe in their promise meh. That one lost hope already because last time they overpromise under deliver. Actually i don't think many of us were surprised that they removed it lol they barely put any effort or attention to it. I still think it's a mistake cuz everyone has a phone and they were too greedy to have the credit sales on mobile. They could've just gave up the 30% to apple who cares they still make money lol. They just make it more worth to top up on website like bonus credits or something. anyways im done complaining lol. lets see hwo the glint thing goes

Way to go! Tenacity shapes us not shake us.

You said it best bro! 💪
