It’s not about perfect. It’s about effort. And when you bring that effort every single day. That’s where transformation happens. That’s how change occurs.

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up-The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”-Thomas Edison
He knows what he is talking about. The fabled inventor of the light bulb attempted over 1,000 variants before he got it right- and changed the world. You never know when your breakthrough will happen. However, you will always know when you break-and that is when you quit.
Have an awesome day!

“Happiness can be defined, in part at least, as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually”-Stephen R Covey
I’m sure we’ve all heard a variation of the above. The thought/truth that growth requires stepping out of ones comfort zone.
In all things. In order to grow we need to be willing to stretch.
And if you’ve ever taken the time to stretch your hamstrings, you know the beginning isn’t what one would call “comfortable.”
But in order for that all-important muscle to lengthen, we need to sit through some of that discomfort.
The same holds true for life. Growing as a person, making an upward move in your job, learning to be a better parent, Doctor or pastry chef requires stepping out from what we know now in order to become what we can be.
Happy stretching 🙂

“The test always comes before the merit. The struggle always proceeds the strength. You have to endure breakdowns to break through them. Take it one day at a time and trust the journey…it’s far better to be exhausted from lots of effort and learning, than to be tired of doing absolutely nothing. Effort is never wasted, even when it takes time to see positive results. For it always makes you stronger, more educated, and more experienced than you ever would have thought otherwise.”
Thanks for sharing this, Jessica!
