It has been a day for reflection. I was looking for something else and I stumbled across the video of my commencement ceremony for WGU in July 2017. It was fun to watch the pre-show and the post-show videos. I had never seen the actual commencement ceremony video as that was not live cast.
I was so excited for the day to come when I would walk across the stage and show my girls that nothing can stand in your way if you set the goal and you work hard towards that goal.
It took me 15.5 years between graduating from Nursing school to starting my Bachelors program. It took just under 18 months to complete my Bachelors program. I worked full time, while being a single mother with 2 kiddos. It was not easy. But oh man was it worth all the time and effort and all the work to meet my goal and kick it's hiney!!
I needed that reminder today. While the problem I am struggling with is not an education goal. I am struggling with a different goal I set and I feel like I am not making the progress I want towards the goal. Just like with my goal to graduate required that I make commitments and that I sacrifice some things to get to my goal. The goal that I am struggling with today requires that I get serious and make some commitments, and yes there will be things that I have to do without, but in the end it will be worth all of the work, and sacrifices, and effort to get to my goal.
So if you have a goal you are working towards, take a look in your past to see a goal you met and take notes on how you got there so you can see how to get to the goal you are working on now.
In my TOPS Chapter (UT #0343 Taylorsville) I have started a Monthly Motivation and it has been fun finding a motivational thought out quote to have out to the members to help them along on their journey to health and wellness. Having said that I am thinking about using the photo below for the February Monthly Motivation.
Until next time remember:
Love the Seher Gals
