Arlene said:\n“Tenaciousness + Gratitude = Success”\nAnd then it made sense.\nThis larger than life word that I had chosen not to align with at all, became more than my subjective cultural upbringing and life experience.\nI let the word be.\nTenacious: not easily stopped or pulled apart. Firm. Strong. Seeking something valued or desired. Continuing for a LONG time.\nSynonyms - devoted, faithful, relentless.\nI recognized that I pushed away tenaciousness because I was afraid to commit and follow through.\nTenacious requires a deep, unwavering commitment to the things that you value and dream and I wasn’t willing to go that far.\nI wanted an out. I wanted excuses. I didn’t want to do the work, not fully.\nWhat if it didn’t work out?\nWhat if what I stood behind or for changed?\nWhat if I had to defend publicly what I stood for?\nWhat if… …..I failed?\nI’m ready - NOW - because of the magic of gratitude.\nYou simply cannot be tenacioustenacioustenacious. It’s unsustainable.\nWith gratitude thrown in the mix you’ve got a recipe for unwavering magic making.\nGratitude refuels and replenishes.\nOMG this was perhaps the biggest lesson that I’ve learned.\nGratitude is like doing a personal and spiritual detox. It’s like drinking and eating your greens. It’s the fastest way to clear out the cruft left by the fire of tenacity.\nI’m ready to embody tenacity. I’m ready to fuel it with the nectar of gratitude.\nDo you want to join me?\nHow about practicing along and letting me know how tenacity mixed with gratitude felt in your body? Yeay or nay?\nCOME BACK FOR THE IMAGES AND POSSIBLE VIDEOS TO HELP YOU WITH THE SEQUENCE!","author_name":"Elsie's Yoga Class","author_url":"http:\/\/elsiesyogakula.com","html":"
