TIME AND TENACITY

Both are not guaranteed. Both are not permanent.

In both cases, a strong case could be made that much of it is mental. An attitude. A desire or lack thereof. Certainly not all of it boils down to the cranium side of things. There are other factors that weigh in pretty heavy.

We've all heard or read about the terrific stories of people who have risen through adversity and neglect to make go from loser to winner. And of course we have heard or read the stories of the people who went from having it all to having nothing and never turned it back around.

For me two words come to my mind as it relates to the subject of winning and losing: time and tenacity. It takes time and tenacity to become a winner/achiever/to go from nothing to something. Once you are there it takes more time and more tenacity to stay there.

Losing takes time as well and a certain amount of tenacity; either utilized or under-utilized.

I believe that every person was designed to be a winner, an achiever, a person of honor. It is up to us and how much time and tenacity we put into life, that will determine whether or not we win or lose. Attitudes. Family. Character. How we treat people who can't do a thing for us. These are things to win at! These can be passed on and grow in our children. Cars. Homes. Vacations. Status. Climbing the ladder of life. These, fade or just flat wear out.

Here's a thought for you: what is currently consuming your time and tenacity and are you fulfilled in that?

Have a great day!
