Today I am reminding myself of what not giving up looks like. It's not wrapped in all sunshine and roses and an overdose of optimism with a cherry on top with a healthy side of positive thinking. It's not easy, not smooth path, not absent of hills and setbacks. And it's definitely not "I am woman, hear me roar!"
It's more like: "I'm a woman and can you pass me that pink helmet, please? Let's be real, people, I will need it."
When I came across this picture on the Internet, I had to smile.
One, because Ilike loooove cheese and two, because the picture reminds me that "not giving up" can sometimes mean heading straight into the challenge with a helmet on knowing full well you may just get smacked in the process of growth.
And in the end, this is ok.
I am reminded to savor even the challenges and the missteps that are undeservedly covered with grace.
What Not Giving Up Looks Like For Me Today:
1. Making a mistake
2. Allow grace to wrap around it. Possibly whine.
3. Making a mistake
4. Allow grace to wrap around it...again. Possibly cry.
5. Repeat the steps above
6. Grow in ways you never thought possible
