Persistence

If I’m honest with myself, I often struggle to keep myself going.  For weeks I have been averaging only a couple hours of sleep per night, which doesn’t help my mental state, and therefore doesn’t help my productivity.

It also hinders my creativity, which can be in short supply at the best of times.  I can spend days trying to think of something to write.

Right now I am just going with one of the many things on my mind.  Persistance.  I ask myself a lot of questions with regard to this topic!  How can I be persistent in life?  Where can I find the drive to keep writing?  What can I do to stop myself giving up on my desires?  Can I really do this?

I have always been a follower.  As long as I had someone to tell me what they needed doing, I would get it done.  And it has served me well in the past.  I have received several awards and recognition from several employers.

Now, since my accident, I have to become my own leader.  I have to take charge of myself.  I have to decide what I need doing.  I have to build a life.

I must not allow myself to stagnate while I wait for a back surgery that may be delayed again, thanks to the current pandemic.  I can’t keep waiting for good things to happen.

This is why I started this journey. I want to know that, even if it takes years to fix my back, I will be able to support myself and not become a burden to others.

By changing nothing, nothing changes.

Tony Robbins

Now is definitely the perfect time to begin cultivating persistence. As individuals, and as part of something bigger, we cannot afford to give up. I know I won’t.

Be sure to stay tuned to see how I am getting on along my new path. I will be posting more updates as I begin to tackle each task in earnest.

As always, thank you for your support. Take care of yourselves during this difficult time. And keep being awesome!
