Close
to 20 years ago, a group of us formed a Toastmaster’s chapter
at our company.
One of the key elements
of Toastmasters is that everyone had to have a job. My favorite was
grammarian, where I delighted
in coming up with obscure, multi-syllabic
words to amuse my rest of the group. All week, I’d have people
throughout the building yelling out the word (ex.,
obstreperous) whenever they saw me. What can I say, we were silly.
In honor of my brief tenure as grammarian, I introduce to you a new
blog feature: Jackie’s word of the week.
This week’s word is
indefatigable.

According to dictionary.com, indefatigable means
“incapable
of being tired out; not yielding to fatigue; untiring.”
I simply love this word, and it is certainly appropriate for these
challenging times. Here are 3 reasons why “indefatigable” is a favorite.
- Being
indefatigable unleashes a reserve of strength you never knew you had. While
talking to one of my power partners a few months ago, I found myself
explaining that I wasn’t going to worry about obstacles. Instead, I was
going to channel the hard headed child I used to be and just keep on
going. I. will. not. stop.
Just saying those words transformed me.
Reflecting on that sentiment keeps me encouraged and focused. - Being
indefatigable neutralizes the haters.
According to urbandictionary.com, a hater is “A
person that simply
cannot be happy for another person’s success. So rather than be happy
they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person.”
We all have our
share of hates, the wet blankets of the world who delight in trying
their best to stamp out joy.There is nothing like moving ahead, no
matter what, that discourages haters and makes them move on to bother
someone else. Once or twice I have had to look a hater in the eye and
sweetly say “I just won’t stop. As long as the Lord wakes me up in good
health and in my right mind, I just won’t stop.” I encourage you to try
this – if for no other reason than to see the expression on that
person’s face. - Being
indefatigable leads to success.
Sooner or later, if you won’t quit, you will achieve success. You may
not achieve success in your chosen goal, but the habit of
stick-to-itness will reap results, sometimes in an area you never
imagined.

Okay, I’ll admit. This disco ditty probably fits the bill as
egotistical rather than indefatigable, but it beat is good.
