Necessary ingredient for accomplishing. Constantly renewing efforts to make yourself do what you believe is necessary. Directing your unfolding ‘drama’ by adhering to mental and physical constraints. Ceaseless exertions to motivate while developing, exercising and improving skills. Sustaining energy and activity for long periods despite impediments or discomforts. An encouraged societal practice that vitalizes conformity, cohesiveness and progress. First setting a goal then overcoming primate passivity with committed, sustained activity. Repetition with purpose ... usually to improve … embraced by achievers and abandoned by dilettantes. For animals: An integral behavior in their
drives to survive and procreate. For humans: a daily

excuses and a reliance on ‘tomorrows’.
