Tenacity

Tenacity.

One word.

Tenacity is the power and the ability to hold on, no matter what!

The dictionary says tenacity is:

  • the quality or fact of being able to grip something firmly; grip.
  • the quality or fact of being very determined; determination.
  • the quality or fact of continuing to exist; persistence.
  • What a wonderful word!

    What a horrible word!

    But tenacious is what we are. You. Me. Us. All of us!

    We hold on tight to what ever it is we are believing in at any moment in time. Nothing can dissuade us from the thing we have chosen to hold on to.

    Hold On Tight! Never Let Go! Be Tenacious

    Nothing.

    And it is a good thing.

    This is the power of choice.

    And, we are always choosing.

    There is absolutely no right, or wrong in this because it is personal.

    Personal to you. Personal to me. Personal to each and every one of us.

    I cannot make you let go of the thing you are tenaciously holding on to, nor can you make me.

    How powerful is that?

    How powerful you are!

    Yes. We can be judged for whatever, and even everything we tenaciously hold on to.

    Judgement doesn’t matter.

    When you don’t care about what someone thinks, or says about you, that is true power, and, absolute freedom.

    You will not bend, or break, to mold to any outside force.

    Hold tight to your beliefs. They serve you in whatever capacity you are needing in this moment.

    Tenacity is an awesome ability to develop and strengthen.

    The good thing about tenacity, as in all things, is that we will in time come to know if the thing we are fiercely holding on to is worth our time and energy.

    As the very wise saying goes – YOU WILL NEVER GET IT DONE, AND, YOU WILL NEVER GET IT WRONG!

    This means you will forever grow and evolve.

    So go for it!

    Since we can never truly know what is right or wrong with someone else, do what you do with everything you have to give. In other words, be as tenacious as you can be!

    Give your everything for that which you believe in because you will never get it done, and, you will never get it wrong!

    You will hit the pavement, or, you will soar!

    Either way, you will give all you have to give to living your life.

    There is no life without something to believe in. Something to fully commit to.

    Something to hold as life or death to you.

    Because it is.

    You die trying or you die because you did not try.

    Own your life, be tenacious, and give it everything you have to give!

    Your very life depends on it!

    No judgement.

    You are absolutely free to own every belief, every choice, and every decision.

    There isn’t any other way, and no one can change it, no matter how hard they try.

    Here’s to you, to your tenacity, to holding on to your beliefs, and to being the most powerful, awesome you that you already are!

    Stay The Course!

    It isn’t easy to trust yourself, but Stay The Course!

    We all have an Inner Guidance System that is always calling you forward.

    It is that quiet voice that is hard to hear among the ruble that is trying to persuade you otherwise.

    This Guidance is the thought that is always in the back of your mind that you can’t forget even as you turn towards, and chase everything else, which seems so attractive and inviting.

    STAY THE COURSE!

    How do you Stay The Course?

    Simply by understanding that it is important to give yourself, not the luxury, which it is, but it is important to give your first 15 – 20 minutes to yourself in the stillness, right after you wake up to allow yourself to hear that quiet voice that gets lost among the shuffle of life.

    Some call this meditation.

    This small step, in this small amount of time, first thing in the morning is all you need to Stay The Course!

    Heart. Based. Sharing.

    Peace. Love. Blessings!

    Women’s Day!

    Good morning to all the Women In The House!

    EVERY DAY IS WOMEN’S DAY!

    What a wonderful thing it is to have a Women’s Day!

    If you ask me, and I know you didn’t, every day is Women’s Day!

    Why you ask, because where there are no women, there too, is no world.

    There is a play called Day of Absence.

    In this play, Black people disappear from the face of the earth for a day leaving the largest void one could imagine in the lives of the people who were left behind to fend for themselves.

    It was a gigantic day of awakening.

    How does a dismissed people, who were absent from your conscious life on a daily basis suddenly become visibly missing from your physical life, all of a sudden, one day?

    The premise here is the same.

    What would your world be like when Women, who serve your every need, selflessly day in and day out without your conscious appreciation suddenly, and without notice, disappear for one day?

    I am pretty sure, it too would be a day of humongous reckoning creating an irreplaceable void in what you consider life to be.

    No mama. No wife. No lover. No cook. No teacher. No nurse. No confidante. No one to kiss your wound. No one to take care of you, love you, nurture you, make your life what it is.

    Gone. Just gone from the face of the earth!

    Just like that!

    In an instant, in the blink of an eye!

    Can you even imagine such a thing?

    Many Women feel invisible every single day in spite of everything Women bring to, and into, life.

    And, that just should not be!

    Women are precious jewels.

    MUCH LOVE FROM ME TO ALL THE WOMEN IN THE HOUSE!

    Each, and every Woman, should be cherished, protected, loved and taken care of Every.Single.Day.

    So, I end where I began.

    Every day should be Women’s Day!

    Heart. Based. Sharing.

    Peace. Love. Blessings!

    HOLD ON TO YOUR DREAM

    The Dollar And The Dream

    What if it were true that as long as you have a dollar the dream is always available to you, and for you?

    No matter what happens in our capitalistic world, we always manage to have a dollar.

    I am not at all saying put your faith in the “Almighty Dollar” as it is often referred to.

    What I am saying is that no matter what, we always have a dollar!

    If you are looking for motivation let The Dollar motivate you to keep The Dream.

    HOLD ON TO YOUR DREAM
    HOLD ON TO YOUR DREAM

    The dream is always there too. She ain’t going no where! Just like the dollar.

    So why not let the two be partners – The Dollar And The Dream – so you do not give up on the dream.

    Think about it. Can you ever think of a time when you did not have a dollar?

    Even in our cashless society where more and more we use digital currency. Even with our debit cards, our credit cards, our digital wallets, our money transfers, our Venmo, CashApp, Paypal, our bill pay, all the stuff, somewhere, somewhere you have a Dollar you can pull out. It might be in coins, but you can count out a dollar.

    In our make the world happen, do all the things life we are living, too busy for everything, gotta get this done and that, the dream is always there, somewhere in the midst of everything. She is always there, and, always will be. Patient. Kind. Waiting for you. Always.

    It is never too late to play with the dream. It is always the right time to have a relationship with the dream.

    She may be folded up tightly and stuffed in a pocket in your heart like the dollar you might have forgotten about stuck in the corner of your billfold, or in the bottom of your bag, but there they both are waiting for you to rediscover.

    The Dollar And The Dream!

    Heart. Based. Sharing.

    Peace. Love. Blessings!
