Stubbornness is ego-driven and fear-based. Perseverance is surrender to my Higher Power and is faith-based. ~ Voices of Recovery (Kindle Location 1164).
Perseverance - steadfastness,sure, dependable, reliable, constant,
unwavering. Wouldn't unwaveringbe closer to stubbornness, not perseverance?
Certainly there's kinship in the pair.
That's what makes them seem the same.
But stubbornness as doggedness,
bound and determined to not change.

Yes, that's driven by fear and ego.
Surrender which leads to perseverance

How do you take prisoners,
accept surrender? A white flag
or raising empty and open hands
above the head. Keep them silent
(they cannot plan an escape),
Search (for weapons, maps, orders, etc.)
Secure (tie up or guard)
Safeguard (from dangers)
Separate (to facilitate control).
Surrender looks nothing like stubborn.
When you surrender...give up...
to your Higher Power, Stubborn
ceases to exist.
