...on being relentless!

Dear marvelous readers,

it is about time I return to writing my blog, to provide the final stages of the 2012 tonic, to enable you all to suck in, to inhale the final tailwinds of momentum…in order to bring this overwhelming year to a good end, to FINISH STRONG! I myself had to take a few days, weeks, and months off my writing, because this time between the last blog and this one was merely indispensable with regard to experience, to making use of the relentless drive I had been able to experience throughout the summer; for it has shown me what I really am capable of if there is a will…

Let me enlighten you:

Time had gotten rough, wild, crazy, unexpected, and at parts been definitely right at the edge of what a human being is able to handle. One thing, however, has stood by my side, regardless of whatever there was, one piece had been bunned up, tightened to me, and by now blossomed and progressed within me: H.E.A.R.T. – and is that not a great indicator of perseverance? Times get rough and you feel out of place, what is the best you can do? Withstand, proceed, drive; you've been knocked down? Get the hell back up and keep pushing, keep driving.

I am asked a lot, why I do certain things others don't and won't do, why I downgrade on sleep in order to get my daily deeds done, why I sacrifice a whole lot to enable opportunities, to make things happen…and there is only one answer: because I can and because I want to. Period! Do we have to justify and explain what others don’t understand?

Travis Lazarus McCoy sums it up in one inspiring statement: "Determination, perseverance, if you don't speak that language then we ain't try'n to hear it." These two concepts are a privilege, an honor, and something so beautiful it takes a person with great and grand heart to understand it. We have all heard "if there's a will, there's a way," but does that remain a sole and desolate statement, or does that become a mirror, a reflection of our heart, our momentum, our spirit? Let determination and perseverance become a part of you, let it evolve, let it grow within your heart. Why would you not give everything you have, even more, why would you not outgrow yourself for what you believe in, for your goals, for your dreams? Is it not worth it? Go out there and fight for your dreams, your goals, achieve what you always wanted to achieve, claim what is yours!!! Don't let people who have no clue about determination, dedication, perseverance, tell you different, who are they to tell you what you’re doing isn’t right; just because they don't have the heart to do it? If they understood a damn thing about momentum, motivation, and inspiration, wouldn’t they stop asking you why you do certain things, because they're engaged with fighting for their dreams? Be RELENTLESS…do your thing, keep driving; they ask you what difference it makes? Tell 'em you make a difference, you step up for what is yours, you make things happen, you make sure things happen, you get up, where others don't, you step up, where others bow down, you rise, where others fall…and you will be successful, where others fail.

When you have heart, you don't need to listen when others try to discourage you, just because they lack the heart to step up for their dreams. You got heart? Tell them: "I do my thing, and I ain't waiting on nobody; nothing is slowing me down. You can knock me down, but you can't keep me down. I will get back up, and I keep driving, I keep walking down my path; throw in more obstacles, throw in more challenges...test me, challenge me, for I will prevail, my heart will prevail!" Bring this year to a good end, finish strong, baby!

Let Dustin Lynch tell you: "There's a want, and there's a need." And where both come together, there is a relentless heart noone can shut down, the heart of a person one cannot stop, one cannot shut down, one cannot slow down. Where want and need meets, there is a relentless heart, there is a relentless person bleeding tenacity and sweating perseverance.

...there lies understanding of what being relentless really means: HEART!
