Sunday Reflection Quote...No matter the capacity, hard work is simply that—hard. If one is working on their career, personal goals, or self improvement on a physical/mental/emotional level, the grind can get stale. There’s the rub. If the mindset is “grind,” then the connotation may lead to a static path of negativity. If the mindset is to “strive,” then the path is dynamic and positive. Due to the pandemic, as a collective, we’ve passed the one year mark of working hard through challenge after challenge after challenge. Fatigue or impatience with oneself or others may be more pronounced. Nonetheless, now is the time to push through and persevere on a micro and macro level. I’m reminded I am a hard worker; hard wired to strive. Those efforts have been fruitful. I’m also reminded I have one life and I have the power to choose how I live it. Here’s to being kind to myself and pushing on with perseverance and striving!
Sunday Reflection Quote...I didn’t know until I knew. There’s love and there’s a whole other level of unconditional love. The latter is selfless; yet, quietly powerful. To be unconditionally accepted through all the nuances of the good, bad, and ugly is a gift. When it is received, there’s an undercurrent of strength that slowly builds over time. That current harnesses a power, which releases courage. I’m reminded there’s nothing more beautiful and vulnerable than the willingness to share one’s life with another. Here’s to a life of strength AND courage as @mns_accountant as I begin our journey as husband and wife!
