Discovered this oh-so-true-for-me quote in the recent Nature Conservancy magazine:

“You can herd a bison anywhere it wants to go.”

Stubborn is one descriptor often employed for me. I like to think of it as determination and perseverance. I know I was born this way, “I do it myself!” was one of my favorite childhood phrases. Over the years I think this trait has served me well (mostly).
