Tenacity in Action

I’ve heard the word “tenacious” a number of times in my lifetime but I don’t think I have ever truly delved (I promise this is not AI-generated 😂) into what that word entails. 

Recently, I was in a Bible Class and the teacher talked about “tenacity”. After that teaching, something dangerous was ignited in me and I would like to share it with y'all too. (I know, I'm very generous😌)

To be tenacious means to be dogged or better still unwilling to yield or give up. A tenacious person to me is like a crazy person who despite all odds still goes for something. A tenacious person will say “regardless”, “even though”, “upon still”.
I will explain this in a religious format because that’s how best I know how to explain it. The Bible says “Ask and it shall be given unto you". When you ask and it’s not given, tenacity is not stopping there, it is seeking, you seek. When you seek and you don’t find, that's a clear indication that there’s an obstruction, a door, so you knock and it will be opened unto you. If it doesn't want to open, you knock it down!😤 That is tenacity!

In one of my blog posts I talked about holding onto a scripture when you are anxious. Well, being tenacious will be of great help because you’re saying “Since the scriptures says it, then it is so”. 
It might not look like it, heck it might not even feel like it but “the scriptures have said it and I strongly believe it is so”, tenacity!

As humans, we get discouraged at setbacks but tenacity is you trying over and over again until you strike gold. Remember even a dead clock is right twice in a day so no matter how hopeless it is, if you keep trying you will get it, eventually. Even if you don’t, tenacity is that you keep showing up and you never give up.

Therefore my dear reader, be tenacious. It’s not that difficult, and sometimes it truly is that difficult. But tenacity is you being defiant and unyielding. It strengthens your mindset and you'll be assured that if everything crumbles today, you’ll wake up tomorrow and have the courage to build again.

I hope this inspired you in some sort of way. If it did, share across boards so you’ll impact another life❤️. 
See you at the next read my lovelies!💋🤸🏼‍♀️

The Twentieth Floor

 I decided I was going to write a blog post to mark the end of an era and the beginning of another, but as I type this I have no words. Nothing comes to mind, but here I go anyway… It feels like just yesterday I was excited about turning thirteen. I think that was the very first birthday I was excited about. It felt so nice to finally be a teenager. I left the children’s church to the teen church, and I left Junior Secondary School for Senior Secondary School. The most interesting part was, I was towing a new path the ones before me didn’t tow. Judith decided to go to Art class to the “dismay” of the African parents’ stereotype. I think that was the first real decision that came with a battle that I ever took (big ups to my brother for fighting that battle with me🫂).   I was not always the brightest of mind, but it felt like a new journey for me and I had the nudge to be among the best, if not the best.  I had always been a church girl but, my 13th year marked the b...

Rants and Reflections...

I don't have a story or hot take today, I just want to talk so I'll title this my "Rant 101". Sometimes, we do things we’d rather not do(not necessarily bad things) because we are tired of holding up for too long. The problem is when we do those things we turn out to be the bad persons and are only understood by people who care to understand. Another problem is the people who those things are directed to should be more mature let’s say an older person and you’ve been the mature one all along and boom! You decide to be the child that you are and turn out to be the bad person.🥲  Personally, if I do something that’s not from anger but is out of character for me then something of what I explained above happened. Trust me the Holy Spirit convicts me right after or before that but my mind just keeps saying “Why can’t you speak to the other person? I am but a child”.  Up to the moment I’m writing this, something similar happened and the funny thing is I did nothing and doin...

Introducing Judith

  AN INTRODUCTION...or maybe not👀 Heyyyy the name is Judith, pronounced as JU-dith not ju-DITH, It has been a lot of struggle getting people to pronounce it the right way.  Anyway, I officially welcome you to my blog😊💕  I love to think I'm mysterious, no, scratch that I am mostly mysterious😅but maybe just maybe this blog will be an insight into what goes on in my head. Interesting stuff I tell yah, but would it be interesting to you? I guess you'll have to follow me to find out. Now this was meant to be an introduction about myself, but picture this, you're in front of an interviewer and he throws the question, 'Tell me about yourself' and you freeze up, That's exactly what it's like writing about myself and of course I could be mechanical about it but where's the fun in that? Sooo, my name is Oluwafikayo Judith Adegoke, and some other names that I may or may not share along the way😶 My current age "status"😂 is getting old because tell me...
