Endurance
The most important is a steady, quiet endurance that does not allow any upsetting or depression to interfere with your progress. The sincerity of the aspiration is the assurance of the victory.

Let endurance be your watchword: teach the life-force in you your vital being - not to complain but to put up with all the conditions necessary for great achievement. The body is a very enduring servant, it bears the stress of circumstance tamely like a beast of burden. It is the vital being that is always grumbling and uneasy... But the very essence of endurance is that the vital should learn to give up its capricious likes and dislikes and preserve an equanimity in the midst of the most trying conditions... And yet I do not wish you to court difficulties - what I want is simply that you should learn to endure the little insignificant troubles of your life.
Nothing great is ever accomplished without endurance.
