Another Chapter Finished

My very LAST perseverance post – time seriously flies. I literally picked the perfect word for my first month of Fit Girl’s Guide Bootcamp. I don’t doubt that I would have slacked off by now if not for all the new tips and tools I learned along the way. I now know I am 100% capable of digging deep even when things get stressful or emotional.

I don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward. I just have to commit to the moving forward. I have to remember my grit, my tenacity and my ability to shine my light even in the dark. (miss you, Dumbledore)

 

I will continue to dwell on and remember these lessons because I will need to persevere for all of the things I want to achieve, even some of the words I have chosen for the rest of the year.

 

For February, I have decided to go with PASSION. Mostly for obvious reasons (V-DAY) and because I think it will be important for me to tackle early on in the year. I’m a little (honestly, A LOT) afraid for this word as I know it is going to be uncomfortable and open up a lot of doors that I slammed on purpose. I am going to try to wiggle my way out and around it, but February will be a month for really digging my toes in the sand and standing up tall. I hope you will be reading along or joining me on my journey!

 

I leave perseverance in the best way I know how, with some awesome quotes.

 

“If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying. “Here comes number seventy-one!” ~ Richard M. Devos

 

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.”

― Maya Angelou
