Passion & Tenacity
Autumn is here and the color of the leaves are beautiful! I hope you experience fulfillment and joy during this season. Thank you for your continued engagement with me and Heartfelt Music® Ministry. You help this ministry stay vibrant and productive.
There’s been a lot of things happening with me over the last month. I’m still developing The Complete Guitar Course with 49 lessons; I just added 30 videos of me playing and singing individual songs on YouTube so you can find specific ones for encouragement; I’m performing another Home Concert November 9th with a personal Live Stream just before it; We just had our annual Board of Directors & Officers dinner (What a joy to serve with these folks!); I’m also teaching guitar and bass classes at Valley Christian School and private lessons both online and in person. It’s a full schedule, but I still have plenty of time to be with Sherri and balance family life. I’m thankful to be doing what I’m passionate about.
On our website, there’s a section called Think About It with helpful ideas to spur us on to excellence and motivation. The recent post is a focus on Passion and Tenacity.
Genuine passion is a deep, authentic commitment to something that matters to you, characterized by focused effort, enduring commitment through challenges, and integration into your identity, rather than just a fleeting interest or a pursuit of pleasure. It involves investing significant time and energy, a willingness to make sacrifices for it, and a deep, often unspoken, internal drive.
A tenacious person is someone who is determined, persistent, and does not give up easily when pursuing a goal. They are resilient in the face of obstacles, with a strong work ethic and the resolve to see things through, even when they are difficult or progress is slow.
How about you? What are you passionate and tenacious about? Our website post goes into more detail.
Reggie’s Individual Songs on Video
I just finished putting 30 songs on our YouTube Channel so you can enjoy my songs while watching me play and sing. The audio to eight albums has been available for awhile with separate playlists, but now you can see each song individually or all of them on the playlist. Click Here to go to our Website to see a list of songs.
Live Stream & Home Concert
I be showing a new Home Concert Sunday, November 9, at 5:00pm, but in addition to that I’ll be Live Streaming a half hour before that at 4:30pm. I can chat with you and share what the songs are about. Click this link to join the Live Stream with me: https://youtube.com/live/-OIdJ-WnJn0
