30 Days Until 30 - Day 14

Persistence. Never-give-up, can-do attitude. Or atleast, being to stubborn to quit. That's definitely me. I have doubts, I have nights where I just don't think I can handle, or want to handle, anything else. But those moments pass & I finish what I started. And then take on more.

Sometimes I am a tiger. These moments usually involve my children. They make me feel like I can fly. Being given the opportunity to be a mom is like being the most incredible power there is. And with great power... comes a whole lot of crap you're not prepared to handle. (If you get that reference the *highest of fives* goes to you). But mess with my little family, and you're gonna hear me roar.

Yes, some moments I channel Katy Perry: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CevxZvSJLk8

Still other moments get you down. Sometimes, no matter how good you've got it... things get tough. I have it all. Literally, I have the most beautiful family & we have a permanent roof over our heads. And with the current clean bill of health, I really have no complaints. But sometimes I'm just overwhelmed.

There's a book for that. And it just so happens to be the last book I read with my father. And I found in in YouTube form: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RoJuhD_GnkQ&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DRoJuhD_GnkQ

There is good and bad things that come with persistence. Whether you are having a powerhouse attitude or another blue day, sometimes you've just got to push through. And I'm not one for advice-giving... I certainly don't know how to ask for help. I could literally agree to be in two places at once... and make it happen.

This can be good. Definitely character building. But at best, I end up thinking I'm awesome & then have things blow up in my face: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UtZnRZAm-h4&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DUtZnRZAm-h4 and at worst I set myself for a clear breakdown.

The closer I get to 30 I want to remember that my strength is not measured by how much I take on on my own. But the quality of my actions & intentions.

...but I am too stubborn to change my ways. So universe, throw it all my way. "Atleast make it a challenge for me!" I can handle it and I'll do it with a smile. To persevere is in my blood.
