Hold On.....

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. Martin Luther King Jr.


Hows that for motivation!? As I completed an email this morning I wanted to close with an MLK quote. It felt appropriate to draw attention today, more than ever, to words from a very wise man.

I quickly searched MLK quotes and the words above spoke to me immediately! 

There are so many times we are challenged on a variety of levels and life's struggles halt and cripple us. I for one know that feeling of waving the white flag and checking out for a bit. Sometimes the "check out" is restorative, but sometimes it's more like treading water trying to get somewhere.

Consider this....when in those treading water moments, the quote above is your life line. It is the reminder of how ever small the decision you make to do something! anything! to move forward, you have succeeded and are making progress. Some days the moving forward will feel more powerful than others...and that's the beauty of it. When I'm feeling productive and high functioning, I am flying...other days, not so much and brushing my teeth is my crawling.

Dear Readers, keep in mind Martin Luther King Jr.'s words to keep moving forward. You decide how...and just keep moving...you've got this!
