I love how you reframe Tenacity as staying in the work without knowing how it ends. Reading this makes me wish for that same tenacity in my own writing journey, especially here on Substack, so I can keep showing up even when clarity is only partial.
I love the word tenacity. Many years ago, I worked at Auto Trader, prior to becoming a therapist, taking pictures of cars for the local car dealerships. A camera with film! Anyway one of the managers said I was tenacious and that word has stuck with me even through self doubt.

John, I hear you. I’m still figuring it out as I go. Most days the clarity shows up after the work, not before.

Ken, that’s a great memory to carry. Funny how one word from the right person can stick around longer than the doubt does.
It sure does!
