Research shows that most people struggle with staying motivated and reaching their goals.
Thankfully, I have found that as an adult, I am grateful for his leadership in our family. Now, we definitely were not the perfect family. My parents divorced when I was in junior high. This seemed to be a tragedy for all. My parents were still committed to doing their best and never gave up their roles with my siblings and me. My mother and father worked multiple jobs to provide for us. Mom relocated to a different state and did her best. My father remarried and I was blessed to have two more brothers and a sister. Wow, a total of seven. We have all grown up and can share great success stories about our education, jobs and raising our own families.
As the years went on, establishing goals as well as achieving goals was a big success for me. There were some natural struggles; however, I have been blessed to have great mentors and corporate coaches to bring me back to center.
Research shows that most people struggle with staying motivated and reaching their goals. Just look at how many people go on diets, lose weight and then gain it back again.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been much tragedy and devastation with families and businesses. The loss of a loved one or the unfortunate happening of a business closing down has been right in our backyards.
Weddings have been postponed. Couples that spent months and years planning their special day have had to shift and adjust. As a caterer, I have met many couples who did not give up and have created beautiful new memories. With some additional twists and shifting, love does not give up.
We must continue moving forward.
