Time after time, I was unsuccessful. Years of work...hours upon hours of time....so many failures...so many disappointments. I found myself frustrated....wanting to quit. But I wouldn't let myself. I knew at the start it was a big goal to have. I knew it would be challenging. And so with each failed attempt I tried to learn something. With each fail I gained just a little bit more insight...a little bit more knowledge...a little bit more experience. I remained persistent...I remained patient....I kept trying. Confident (or sometimes just hopeful) that eventually I would get it right.
And eventually I did.
What am I talking about?....specifically, this blog was initially inspired by a recent success with a grant application for which we will receive over $115,000 for the new playground at the kids' school. Woohooo!!!!
But as I wrote, I realized that if I removed the words specific to this event (which I did), it could pretty much be about anything I might aspire to achieve.
Put in the effort. Learn from the mistakes. Put in more effort. Be patient.
