Making mistakes and messing up can definitely create setbacks and disappointments, but you’ve got to keep moving on past them. Perseverance will ultimately prevail over even the most daunting challenges. Strength does not get used up. The more you exercise it, the more it grows. Be strong and you become stronger. Just keep moving on.
Even those who are highly skilled, exceptionally intelligent and blessed with many resources will fall short of the mark if they lack perseverance. By the same measure, those who begin with nothing in their favor can achieve whatever they set out to do when they make the commitment to keep moving on.
The troubles of today will soon seem trivial and insignificant if you’ll just keep moving on past them. The only other choice is to stop and allow yourself to drain your strength into your disappointments by wallowing in self pity. Which would you choose to do? Find a reason so compelling, so personally meaningful that you won’t allow yourself to stop. Stand up, lift your eyes up, step forward and keep moving on — today and every day
until next time… be black belt strong and have a great day.
