'allows me to stay?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'what' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stamina that I've seen before include "The ability to sustain prolonged physical or mental effort" , "perseverance" , "capability to keep going" , "Enduring energy" , "Ability to keep going" .)
