The quality of continuing to do something or exist for a long time, even when it is hard or there are obstacles. It often refers to determination and steady effort.
From Latin “persistentia,” from “persistere” meaning “to stand firm, to continue.” It emphasizes the ongoing nature of effort or existence.
Persistence is like gravity for your goals—it quietly pulls you forward bit by bit. People often overestimate the power of sudden inspiration and underestimate this slow, steady force.
