Tenacious: Keep a firm hold on something, persistent, determined, tireless, steadfast, unshakable, relentless.

What do you want out of life? Do you want more? Do you have an unfulfilled dream? Is there something big you want to achieve or overcome? Do you want to figure out what’s missing in your life or what you should do with your life? Then get a tenacious spirit, refuse to give up, be relentless in your search. Go after it like a bulldog after a bone and don’t let anyone take it away from you. Put signs up around your house, quotes on your desk, stickers on your dashboard, encourage and remind yourself daily. Be outrageous, whatever it takes.

So many times people give up when things get hard or the results aren’t readily available. Investigate how many times people were told ‘no’ before they became famous. Chicken Soup for the Soul got 140 rejections before it got published, Gone with the Wind got 38 rejections. The list goes on and on. I’m not just talking about writing a book, it could be anything, getting in shape, starting a business, going back to school, developing your passion, or pursuing any dreams or desires. Just get tenacious, determined not to give up on yourself. Your destiny is to be all you can be, so go for it and don’t let anyone tell you ‘no’!

Whatever it is that you are going after, know that you may need support or help in the process. We don’t do life alone so find your tribe, that group of like minded people that will support you and encourage you when the going gets tough.
