Good
Morning Universe, today I want to talk about progress. Many times in our lives we feel that we are
“stunted” or “stuck” in the same place and this can get us down. In our busy world many people feel that
Success and Progress should always be a measurable quantity.
I
don’t think that I agree that Success and Progress is always measurable. I understand the need for measurable goals
and encourage these things, but we should not be limited by our measurable goals. When we HAVE TO have reach a measurable goal in
order to be happy it sets us up for true failure.
Goals,
Aspirations, and Measurable Progress are wonderful tools for growth and
fulfillment and I am not advocating letting these things go. Instead I am advocating a balance between
progress and acceptance. Don’t believe
that if you are not progressing towards your goals at every moment that you
have somehow failed, because that is the first step towards regression, towards
giving up.
For
the past few weeks I have been practicing perseverance, I have been practicing
“not giving up.” I have been practicing
having faith in myself and my goals. I
have struggled because I have not lost any weight in a few weeks, even though I
am eating right and exercising daily. I
am struggling because my financial situation is “so tight” it feels I can’t
breathe because of anxiety.
It
is my struggles that I must persevere through in order to appreciate just about
anything. In the past, in fact most of
my life, when I was faced with struggles I easily gave up. I would lose my positivity and my desire to
change because I thought giving up was easier.
I was wrong, giving up only felt easy in the moment. In the long run giving up never made me happy
and just kept me living in fear and mediocrity.
During
the times in your life when you feel you are stuck use it as a chance to learn,
practice, and utilize the Amazing Quality of Perseverance. Don’t ever think that your goals are
unattainable. Start incorporating and
practicing Perseverance in the difficult times when you feel are not growing
and progressing.
When
we learn to persevere we are demonstrating patience, faith, and learning to
love ourselves and our lives no matter what.
These qualities are never a waste of time. So let’s all practice persevering through the
“no so great” stuff and remembering that it will make us that much more
appreciative of our successes in the end.
To The Universe
Love Brandy
