tirelessness

Never wearing out

Tirelessness is the quality of sustained effort without apparent fatigue or loss of enthusiasm.

Someone with tirelessness keeps working, advocating, or pursuing a goal long after others would quit: Her tirelessness in fighting for reform eventually paid off.

The word often carries admiration, though it can suggest obsessiveness.
