10 Quotes To Inspire Us To Persevere
I think, as a human race, our thought process about the journey towards achieving the goals and aspirations we desire, is extremely complacent and naïve. We seem to completely underestimate just how tough, grueling, and challenging, such a journey really is. We have expectations that the journey certainly won't be easy, and we will have to work hard, and face barriers, to achieve success, but we don't seem to fully comprehend just exactly how difficult it will be, or what scale this adversity is really on. We have this impression that after maybe a couple of months, even 6 months, or even a year, that we will start seeing this rapid inclination of progress towards achieving our goal, and that success will be evident, only to fall well below the expectations we set. Often there will be no visual signs of the success we envisioned, nor will there be much in the line of results that suggest that we are nearing accomplishment, and this leaves us extremely disheartened and deflated. All we seem to face are constant setbacks, constant failures, constant criticism from others, constant rejections and constant challenges. It's hard to keep focused and motivated on the ultimate prize we seek, when we are continually faced with these roadblocks, especially when this keeps going on month after month. Most people view these constant challenges and setbacks to be a clear sign that success is just not going to eventuate, that we are fooling ourselves to believe such a dream will come true, and that we are simply wasting our time. So what happens? We give up! The thing is, how can success ever be achieved when we give up? There's no denying that the journey is brutal, and we will often be taking down to great depths of despair, stress, and emotion, but this is nothing more than normality. Any goal and dream, especially when a greater reward is on the line, is always going to take a great deal of patience, resilience, and perseverance. The beauty of the journey, which so many of us completely overlook, is that these challenges and failures are the perfect opportunity for us to learn, grow, and develop, in life. Not weeks, nor months, but several years of hard work, sacrifice, and commitment, is what's needed to achieve success. It's funny, but after a few years without having produced any results, or seeing any evidence of success, quite often, it only needs one action, and one slight adjustment to our action plan, and all of a sudden, the damn wall busts open, and success is created. The problem is, too many of us are impatient, and we want the success fast, without having to work hard, commit, and sacrifice, for it. Life doesn't work that way! Perseverance is the key to success. No matter how dire things become, no matter how bleak the outlook may appear, no matter how far it may seem we are away from accomplishment, we need to just keep going. We need to continually be creative, whilst also being adaptable in making changes to actions that aren't working. We need to continually believe in ourselves, we need to keep visualizing the accomplishment of that goal in our head, we need to keep positive, and we just simply need to remain focused. Let that goal drive you, as you understand in your mind exactly how desperate you really are to achieve it. It should always emotionally push you, and be powerful enough to install resilience within you to continually overcome adversity. Genuine success only comes to those who are willing to keep going, who push through all adversities, who are patient, and who are perseverant and determined to achieve what they desire. Here are 10 quotes to inspire you to never give up, and instead, remain perseverant in the pursuit of your goals.

Dear Janelle
Dear Janelle, You know that 2020 was a tough year with Covid19 but keep in mind, you were very mentally and physically unwell for more than 12 months. With trying new therapy for depression, TMS, meant going off and on my mood stabiliser. This medication was one of the primary causes for my initial ongoing and continual weight gain. Not surprisingly, I started to put weight on again, bringing the need for the second bariatric surgery to a high priority. Then when you went to the surgeon, who did the original surgery was very abrupt so you sought a second opinion.

Dear New Year
Dear New Year Ah, 2021, just seeing you on my page is a refreshing sight. Resting calmly at the bottom right-hand corner of my screen. A subtle reminder we are not where we once were, even with how we feel. As much as I’m looking forward to what you’ll bring, I feel as though your predecessor must be addressed before we rush forward.

Books That Can Change Lives
I just ordered them to increase my English skills for my blog writing, but these books, in a true sense, are “magical.” I bought them with no intentions to change my life, but they are. I started doing things for my financial and personal growth, and it's mystical.

2020 - It's Finally...just about over
It’s been a year unlike any that I’ve ever experienced. There have been so many ups and downs, frustrations, anger, sadness, regret, joy, and a sense of renewal. It’s hard to put it all into words, or to even know where to begin.

Dear Celeste
Dear Celeste, 2020 wasn't such a horrible year. You got that promotion you've been working towards. You and your boyfriend made the huge commitment and bought a house together. You witnessed the death and birth of yourself, and you suffered the hard loss of your grandpa.

Lessons from the Inside of a Broken Mirror
Lessons from the Inside of a Broken Mirror – 1 Obituary “Now, start writing. You’ve got twenty minutes.” The instructions were clear: write your own obituary. Write it as someone else, remembering you, the way that you want to be remembered. It felt dirty, morbid, as if we had been asked to dig our own grave. Most of us just sat there, looking around in shock. The shock-and-awe factor is probably what they were counting on. The threat of death was not real… well, at least not now, not in this classroom anyway. I closed my eyes, turned inward, did some quick breath work and a short visualization practice. How do I want to be remembered when I’m gone? I started by doubling my age, if I were to die in thirty years… my dreams achieved, my life in order, my family and friends proud to know me. Then I started writing. I almost didn’t even realize that I’d started at first. The words just flowed. I wrote two neat paragraphs from the witness’s perspective, set thirty years in the future. I read over and few times and made my corrections. I looked around the room to see that most people were still writing, so I took that opportunity to contemplate and compare what that obituary would be like if I were to die today. I noted several changes that I needed to make, assuming that I make it the sixty, and jotted them down on the inside of the back cover of my notebook. Some of these I could change today, the longest, toughest changes, might take a couple of years at most, the sooner the better…
