Tenacity vs. Wisdom

Written by Cole Schafer

When you are young, you think that your next step will lead to breakthrough and so you step tenaciously rather than wisely. For a time, this tenacity carries you forward. But, not without a cost. Bulls cover tremendous ground but leave behind destruction. As your youth gives way to experience, you start considering direction. You think not just about the step in front of you but how this step will transpire three and four steps down the road. In this season, as you learn to reach for wisdom first, tenacity becomes a last resort. In the rare occasions tenacity is required, it is remembered. It is like the Tiger that sleeps for 20 hours a day, lounges for 3, hunts for 1 and then strikes.
