The Triangle of Stamina

Endurance, Vigor, and Verve

The triangle of Endurance, Vigor, and Verve defines stamina—the ability to sustain effort over time, whether physical, mental, or emotional. Together, these three components create lasting energy and resilience.

1. Endurance: Endurance is your capacity to keep going. It’s built through consistent effort and grit, allowing you to push through challenges and fatigue. Without endurance, progress stops at the first sign of strain.

2. Vigor: Vigor is the energy that fuels your effort. It comes from proper rest, nutrition, and physical well-being, ensuring you have the strength to perform at your best. Vigor is the fire that keeps endurance alive.

3. Verve: Verve is the enthusiasm and spirit you bring to the task. It’s the mental and emotional drive that transforms hard work into something purposeful and enjoyable. Without verve, stamina feels like drudgery.

   
   

Balance endurance, vigor, and verve, and you’ll not only sustain effort—you’ll thrive while doing it.
