I Strive to be More


My week has me feeling like I've not accomplished enough. What exactly is enough? Am I being realistic in my expectations? This is something I'm working at figuring out. My inner voice tells me I could have done more. It's time to change that inner voice into something more positive and productive. 

As I struggle through sorting out my thoughts and writing this blog I am reminded me of something I wrote in my personal journal last week. Here is the unedited journal post from last week. 

Believing in myself is a key component to earning and receiving a blackbelt. As a 2nd degree brown belt I have the basic knowledge and skill. It's now about pushing past the uncomfortable to continue in not only the areas I want to grow, but also areas that I struggle in.

Developing and improving a positive mindset.
Embracing weaknesses as opportunities.
Accept I am human and still push/move forward.

I see the struggles and failures in others as positives. They are reminders we are not perfect, we are all works in progress. I am learning more from my struggles and failures because I want more. Because I strive to be more.


Believing and trusting in myself - I am growing into these qualities more and more as the year evolves. I see the possibilities and growth through my own struggles and others around me. We are all human and doing the best we can in any given moment. The combined efforts of everyone on the team help to encourage me forward and believe anything is possible.

I want more, I strive to be more! This is a powerful truth and is what keeps me moving forward one step at a time.

Patience and Small Wins

I was finally able to get a 30 minute yoga session done this week. With a puppy in the house Ive been finding it challenging to free up time...
