The Hardest Part

What is the hardest part?  Motivating yourself to move forward when there are no visible results.  Especially when you have invested your all to generate results.

Wow.  Really.  That's it?

Yep, that's it.  The hardest part.  Sooooo, where do you find the strength to move forward when you just want to stop.  Mine comes in the form of a little electronic cat on my phone.

Some time ago, I was feeling frustrated with the results of my efforts and expressed it to my brother (my biggest champion btw).  The next day, I got this video of a "TalkingTom" (some of you may have heard of the App by Outfit 7).   It is an animated cat telling me to keep my head up and to stay focused and moving forward.  It made me laugh and smile.  I played it repeatedly and laughed each time.  It made me feel good that my brother believed in me enough to take the time to send me that bit of encouragement.

I share that to say "Find Your Champion".  That resource you can tap into that lets you know its ok to be discouraged but that you can move past it too. That video is still on my phone. I use it to remind me that while I may get discouraged, I can't stop.  I can take a break but have to continue to move forward.

Thanks Bruce. :-)
