If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up.
Figure out how to climb it, go through it
or work around it."
- Michael Jordan
Have you had to deal with any obstacles or setbacks lately?
You know, obstacles are never there to stop us on our path.
They are actually part of the path.
It's easy to feel discouraged and defeated when faced with a setback.
Believe me I have faced a number of huge setbacks myself and it's easy to feel beaten down and it takes a lot of both mental and physical energy to get back up after being knocked down.
One of my favorite empowering words is...Persevere
Persist no matter what.
Endure discomfort.
Request help.
Steadfastly hold on to your beliefs and values.
Envision triumph.
Very consistently keep at it.
Embrace adversity as your teacher.
Refuse to give up.
Enjoy and celebrate every tiny bit of progress.
The will to persevere is often
the difference between failure and success."
- Davis Sarnoff
Perseverance - Steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.
So next time you are having to deal with a setback or an obstacle on your path......remember this word.
