Feel Good Friday: Persistence
Happy Friday! You’ve made it all the way to the end of the work week thanks to your grit and determination–now let your sense of persistence keep you going through the rest of today, through the weekend, and all the way through the rest of our current transition period. While you’re doing so, keep in mind that acknowledging your accomplishments is a great way to boost your mood; make sure you’re taking moments to recognize how far you’ve come as new circumstances arise. The sayings we’ve curated for you today will help you do just that:
- “I am a force to be reckoned with.”
- “Ambition is the path to my success…PERSISTENCE is the vehicle I’ll arrive in.”
- “I realize there will be obstacles, but I have the strength to get through them.”
Encountering obstacles in life is inevitable, especially amidst our current unprecedented circumstances. What makes the difference (and what you do have control over) is how you react to those challenges. Don’t let workplace difficulties bog you down! Instead remember that persistence is the key to success in your professional environment and beyond. So, keep striving. Have a wonderful weekend and we’ll see you back here on Monday for our newest set of Mood Boosters!
