Don't Stop Believing

Everyone has a story to tell. We all move through the chapters of life with different goals, plans, wants, and needs. At times, challenges can come in and force us to change direction, give up on those plans or goals, and ultimately impact the trajectory of life.

These challenges are not always meant to deter us, however. Challenges are built into life. They give us opportunities to learn and grow, and sometimes just find a different way to accomplish what we are meant to do.

The key to finding the win through the challenge is to be aware and disciplined in your approach. Be open to what comes to your path and instead of running from what falls in your way, be open to pausing and picking up the pieces. And if you change direction? So be it; but stay resolute to the plan ahead.

For me? A goal years ago was to write a book – to tell my story. The path I went on took many turns. I almost gave up plenty of times. But today? This past weekend? I am reminded that my resolve to not stop believing in my plan, the discipline to overcome the challenges that faced me, and the awareness I gained from the journey have allowed me to achieve my goal: I am now a published author! (And you can listen to my first podcast interview about my new book here.)

I can honestly say I am winning!

For you on your journey of growth or to your goal? Stay accountable to YOU. Be aware that there is no direct line to achievement. Fall, fail, learn, evolve – but don't ever give up! That feeling of success and accomplishment is waiting.

How are YOU winning?!
