Perseverance + Persistence + Patience = Payoff

Hello Friends,

These three seemly pesky Ps pack a powerful punch. Now say this quickly three times in a row and try not to spit all over yourself or anyone near you! LOL

perseverance
: continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition

persistent
1 : existing for a long or longer than usual time or continuously; 2 : continuing to exist despite interference or treatment

patient
1 : bearing pains or trials calmly or without complaint; 2 : manifesting forbearance under provocation or strain; 3 : not hasty or impetuous; 4 : steadfast despite opposition, difficulty, or adversity; 5 : able or willing to bear

payoff
1 a : profit, reward; b : retribution; 2 : the act or occasion of receiving money or material gain especially as compensation or as a bribe; 3 : the climax of an incident or enterprise; 4 : a decisive fact or factor resolving a situation or bringing about a definitive conclusion

Please take time to read each word carefully and study its definition, meditate on it, and then find circumstances in your life where you can apply it.

Mel’s Two Cents: First and foremost, we will not get anywhere or achieve anything if we don’t know what we want or where we’d like to go. Once you have identified your desire or goal, make an initial plan to take steps toward achieving it. Be flexible and amenable to making adjustments as you go along, and be willing to be courageous and take risks. Remember to take excellent self care to cultivate your peace and joy. Lastly, if you don’t allow fear or doubt to talk you into giving up or settling, you will eventually reach your goal. Yes, I know this may be easier said than done but how bad do you want what you want, and are you really ready and willing to do what it takes to get it?

I say dream big and in technicolor because it’s fun, it’s free and dreams really can come true!

Until next time.

Mel
