Was thinking about struggles today. We ALL face challenges and struggles. Then, thinking about the word for the year. PERSEVERANCE. I continue to need to remind myself that the definition of perseverance is - persistence in doing something despite difficulty of delay in achieving success.
And as that little voice is my head was talking this week, and often is…..that we need to remind ourselves of the small accomplishments. We, at times don’t see the progress we are achieving. But often, others make comments, little signs are presented, to help you move forward. Accept those small successes. And stay positive throughout the journey.
Those that I work with are the best at providing those nudges. One of the clients, who LOVES to be busy, as soon as he saw me, his first engagement was “What are we doing today?” He is truly committed to being a part of our journey, making connections , finding opportunities and sharing his gifts with others.
MY job and mission is to continue to mentor, find connections, others to support him and others, and provide opportunities to feel supported and noticed.
It is a struggle, but we need to persevere. So maybe through this journey of facing the challenges and struggles we can take the scenic journey to our destination.
