You’re up against a lot sometimes in life and holding on to your chosen path can be a real challenge. It takes tenacity and grit. I always think of millstone grit when I use this word, being a child of the Pennines.

(From Wikipedia - ‘In psychology, grit is a positive, non-cognitive trait based on a person's perseverance of effort combined with their passion for a particular long-term goal or end state (a powerful motivation to achieve an objective). This perseverance of effort helps people overcome obstacles or challenges to accomplishment and drives people to achieve.’)
