Always

“In order to have what you really want, you must first be who you really are.”

Tim S. Grover, author of –  “Relentless

It is in adversity – those seemingly random moments, situations, challenges and circumstances – where you are pressed relentlessly to be who you really are.  It is in those times where the faint of heart will tend to bail, rationalize, make an excuse, pretend it wasn’t for them or just plain quit.  

It is in those times when you will not get what you really want because of your chosen response.  By choosing not to be who you really are, the result will be an outcome you never desired. 

One thing I know that is certain and indisputable: in all adversity therein lay opportunity.  

Not simply to overcome, achieve, succeed and win.  But more so to be who you really are.  To show the world how you are made, what you are made of and what you intend to do with it.

So as this day passes and becomes the next, remember this one thing: 

In order to have what you really want, you must first and always be who you really are.  

In all ways.  

And always.
