Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.

When you think you can’t go on, force yourself to keep going. Your success is based on persistence, not luck.

I did my QM homework this morning. Now I’m surrendering for the day. Hats off to the women who are heading to Lancaster today… to train. Stronger wills than I they have!

I don’t run away from a challenge because I’m afraid. Instead, I run towards it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet.

Patience is the master key →

This entry is part 57 of 72 in the series My Journey

Patience is the master key to every situation. One must have sympathy for everything, surrender to everything, but at the same time remain patient and forbearing… There is no such thing as bending or breaking. It’s a question only of overcoming, which begins with overcoming oneself. That cannot be avoided. To abandon that path is always to break in pieces. One must patiently accept everything and let it grow within oneself. The barriers of the fear-ridden I can only be broken by love. One must, in the dead leaves that rustle around one, already see the young fresh green of spring, compose oneself in patience, and wait. Patience is the only true foundation on which to make one’s dreams come true.

~ Franz Kafka from, Kafka on Love and Patience – The Marginalian

Patience with myself is a huge hurdle. I’m my own worst critic. One critical comment from me, and I crumble. I regularly beat myself down and out with negativity, self-doubt and unreasonable expectations.

New mantra: Patience is the master key. Patience.
