I think this topic for the week is very fitting as I myself have been having what you could call, “A long few weeks” …  Many people who I have been lucky enough to meet during the course of my life always say that I seem to never have a down day. This is not true…  I am not ashamed to admit that there have been times where nothing seemed to go in my favour. The past few weeks were definitely no exception. But I’m not here to talk about all that negative stuff, I want to talk about the one thing that kept me going. The one thing I want you, my amazing readers, to remember.

Persistence and perseverance. That’s all it is. Even I get those days where everything just seems to be spinning out of control. Where nothing seems to work out or go to plan. The one thing you have to remember is to never let that compress your perseverance. Once you let yourself believe it’s all ending in failure, it will end that way.

It pains me to see people give in when those bad days cross their path. It is easier said than done though sometimes, but its never to late to give yourself that push. The little nudge that could make all the difference. No matter how low I feel, I keep the thought that tomorrow is another day with new chances and opportunities. So, there will be time to take control of everything that seems to spin out of control. The only thing that I swear by in these situations, is not to give up and I hope now after reading this you swear by the same thing.

It can get super hard to cope with things sometimes but always know that you are stronger than the thing that is holding you down. What ever is or may happen, it will pass, so don’t stop fighting until it does pass. Persist and preserver until the very end, because eventually, things will turn for your benefit. Just wait for the right moment, sometimes we have to have those days. It reminds us of all the things worth persevering for.

There is a quote that sums up what I really want people to remember.

“It does not matter how slow you go, as long as you don’t stop.”

This clear and simply says what I’m trying to tell all of you. DO NOT STOP BEING THAT AMAZING YOU. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. THE DARK SPELL WILL PASS. You just have to keep pushing and trying, you will finally get to the other side.
