TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE


"Grit is that 'extra something' that separates the most successful people from the rest. It's the passion, perseverance, and stamina that we must channel in order to stick with our dreams until they become a reality."

             ~ Travis Bradberry

Grit. It's a form of strength. 
You've got it. I've got it.
We've all got it.
It's part of our spirit.

But why do we see it demonstrated in some people and not in others?

Maybe because it takes great love, fiery passion, and an unwavering commitment to something to be able to dig deep enough to reach in, pull it up, and put it to work.

You may not need grit today. Just know that it's there, ready for whenever you do need it.

Chances are good that you've already put grit to work at least once in your life to accomplish a goal, to survive a challenge, or to stay true to being you. 

When not in its strength mode, empowering us with great perseverance, I believe that grit works while it waits.


Like grit nestled in an oyster, becoming a beautiful pearl, the grit within us is an aspect of our inner beauty.

Never doubt that you are strong and beautiful, and with grit.  

In spirit,
Charlene
