Never Count them Out….

Some people never quit. And I am one of them. No matter how bad it gets, I always pick myself up and keep going. I am almost like a cat, I have nine, ten, eleven lives. When someone tells me that I can’t do it, a little voice tells me to go even harder. And I’m not trying to prove things to others anymore, there is something in me that tells me that I have to show myself that I can do it. I love the satisfaction of looking back and seeing that a difficult task, something that was once a roadblock, an obstacle, is no longer in front of me, it is now in the rearview mirror.

There are so many, many things that have been accomplished, goals completed, tasks done, risks taken, all because I push myself to the limit. I know that if I pray and ask God for strength, He will help me to get through it, or He will remove it. My Mom and I were having a talk and she shared with me that her place of employment is allowing breaks for mental health. I shared with her that I already take advantage of doing that very thing to make sure that I am able to get through tough days. No, no one is invincible. We get attacks towards our bodies both physically and mentally on a daily basis, we are pushed to the limit, and it is up to you to know when you have had enough. Take yourself out of the line of fire for a moment, breathe, and settle yourself, then when you are ready, get back to it. It is amazing how just a few moments outdoors, or just outside of the immediate work area, can give you a refresher. Have a great week! And take care of yourself.
