Finale!
This is my thirtieth post for Connie Green’s 30 day power blog challenge. Seems fitting to talk about one of my top ten traits: perseverance. I rarely give up once I commit myself to something. I’ve been in continuing ed classes where the class has whittled down to just me by the last two classes.
One instructor almost started crying asking me, “Did I do something wrong?”
“No,” I said. “Your class was fantastic! People start out with good intentions and enthusiasm but life’s distractions get in the way.”
Because I’m well aware of the downward spiral nature of distractions, I work hard to stay the course. If the scared side of me shouts, “give up!” I block her out and keep going. There’s always time to do the things you really want to do. It all depends if you really want to do them or not.
I’d like to thank Connie Green for putting this challenge out there on Twitter. My web site was barely up when the challenge floated my way. I could have used that as a excuse to not try but I knew that was the part of my brain talking that wanted me to keep playing small. It’s been an amazing writing/blogging journey!
I wish you the best in your own writing …
