One Little Word - Perseverance

This year I decided to follow Ali Edwards "One Little Word" idea. It spoke to me and as I read her Original Post on this and all the comments, it was just something that I felt that I needed to do.

I have been following Ali Edwards for a while now and love her ideas for Project Life :) So when she posted about the One Little word, that got me thinking. There were lot of words that came to my mind like - Re-Discover, Hope, Focus etc. I was almost going to chose Hope, but my cousin told me that Hope is something you had to have all the time without which life does not go on. So, I had to rethink my choice.

So I chose the next word that I kept thinking about - "Perseverance". This seemed to best define who I want to be this year and also where I want to be with some of my goals. I need to persevere to achieve my goals and to keep moving forward.

Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.  ~Walter Elliott, The Spiritual Life
 

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.  ~Newt Gingrich

So, here is to "Perseverance" in 2011...:)

Thanks for stopping by and please leave me a comment if you have a word for 2011, would love to hear about it.

Thanks and have a great Tuesday!!
