D is for....

The letter for today, (well, yesterday) is D...my apologies for the day-late submission. Monday just flew by, but yest. morning i was pondering D words and a few came to mind. They kinda all run in the same family, so im going to touch on each quickly....

Defiance generally has a negative connotation...but this time, i mean it in a positive way. In a strong, determined and relentless kinda way! I believe one's goals should be to defy the odds, to prove wrong the naysayers. Defiance is defined as a daring or bold resistance to authority or to any opposing force. So look adversity in the face and unabashedly pursue your dreams! Defy the odds, you CAN do it.

Discipline has a few diff meanings....as a noun its defined as activity, exercise or regimen that develops or improves a skill, or behavior in accordance with rules and conduct. As a verb it is defined as to improve or attempt to improve the behavior, orderliness, etc., of by training, conditions or rules. I take this to mean that training, persistence, practice, intent...all of the above, are necessary to be resolute in attaining a certain outcome, or goal. Discipline breeds character and integrity. i read this somewhere...."Discipline Breeds Unity, Unity Breeds Power, Power is Life. "

Determination is important because anything worth HAVING is worth WORKING for....and nothing can be had sans hard work. It is defined partly as The quality of being resolute, firmness of purpose. I love how that sounds, actually.....'FIRMNESS of purpose'. If only we all entertained such firmness on the regular!

Well.....those are the 3 words that tugged at me today (yesterday). Hope you enjoyed the 3-in-1 dose! :)
