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 readily see it in some people and not in others?

Perhaps because it sometimes it takes the energy of love, passion, and commitment to something to be able to reach deep enough to 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. 

Even when it's not used, 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 as well as our strength.

Please don't doubt that you are strong and beautiful, and with grit. 

Trusting,
Charlene

PS - If you do doubt, consider giving yourself a dose of kindness and holding a mustard seed, or any small seed, as a sign of your willingness to believe.
