Word of the Week

I introduced the Word of the Week to help us improve our working knowledge of the English language. Your part if you choose to participate is to be aware of and use each word for the entire week whenever the opportunity presents itself. This way we will all increase our vocabulary and our knowledge of the English language supplying us with a very effective tool to utilize on our road to success.

temerity

te·mer·i·ty /təˈmerəti/ noun

the quality of being confident and unafraid of danger or punishment.

From a poem entitled “It’s No Surprise”

“Eyes exuding sincerity,

understanding, temerity,

is why I love you.”

On Being Genuine

In any life endeavor, whether it is business, friendship, or love it is imperative we be genuine, be our true self from day one. When emotions are running high it is very easy to compensate and put forth an image which does not represent our true blueprints. Our body chemistry is such that we are willing to temporarily forgo many desires, habits and character traits we would normally display in order to successfully attract the desired result at the time. This may work fine for a brief relationship or business venture but can never work in the long term unless we are willing to adopt our new thought patterns and eliminate old blueprints that will not support them. Failure to do this will result in our old programming resurfacing some time in the future very likely bringing with it resentment and a feeling of incompleteness.

This is not to say we cannot have a successful business or long-term relationship otherwise, but it will be sub maximal to what should be, had we followed our true self. We can still be happy and content should we choose to conform to a lesser existence rolling languidly along, but it will be impossible to experience the full of life we were meant to create.

In the end we will look back and either say; “Wow, my life has been full and satisfying.” Or; “If only I had followed my passion……I could have been or done……”

The decision is ours and ours alone. If our life is not all we would like it to be it is because of our decisions to this point. We have not been genuine with our self, our true purpose. We have allowed outside influences to dictate our thoughts and decisions. Nothing outside of us is to blame. The only way to take a new direction in our life toward all that we were meant to be is to change us, not the other guy, not the environment. We must be genuine, discover what we are passionate about and focus all our intention upon it adopting new blueprints and relationships that support it. There must be a willingness to let go of what was, the comfort zone we have allowed our self to slip into and does not support our purpose.

The first difficult step is to be honest with our self, genuine. The second and probably the hardest step will be to take sustained action against resistance. We are likely to experience lots of it. The bigger the change the greater the resistance will be.

  1. Sadly, there are far too many people in this world for whom this lesson should be taught, and learned.

    Thank you, Marshall, for bringing this message to us today. Brilliant, as always.
