"Slow and steady wins the race." This is my motto that I need to repeat to myself throughout the day and especially when I lay in bed at night. Last night was the Fourth of July and I enjoyed the day with my husband. I love days like that- carefree, beautiful, summer days. Soon, however, night approaches and I begin to think about everything that I need to do followed by pangs of anxiousness. Thoughts begin to race in my head. Insecurities begin to surface. It's an ugly cycle. But, when I repeat "slow and steady wins the race," it reminds me that I am doing everything I need to and I am making progress. It's kind of funny that the Tortoise and the Hare make a difference in my life each day, but the motto is true. I need to continue working hard and count my daily successes.
If I could choose to do anything for my job, this would be it. I am doing my "dream job." It is pretty incredible that I am able to say that I am doing exactly what I want to do in life. I just need to remind myself that I need to start small and build up, Rome wasn't built in a day, and to keep going like the Little Engine that Could. Who knew I would be repeating phrases from my childhood books (thanks, mom!)
So far, in two days we have raised $180 in two days. This is awesome and I know that we will continue to do well. Our goal is $3,000. Education makes a difference in our community and I am confident that my community and friends will support this important and necessary project.
