Just Push Through



 

When you are a kid, you want everything to come easy, if it’s too hard, you tend to go the other way, without lack of encouragement or ‘’pushing’’ gently from other sources. 


This is one of my greatest difficulties, with my back the way it is, and my learning challenges/work challenges.  


One of my new friends said one thing that will stick with me, I believe, and it is 


Just push through. 


It will help me now, in EVERYTHING.  


Why do we love the easy button so much?  


There are so many things I need to model for my daughter, and this is definitely one of them… 


Despite how you are feeling, you have to ignore it at times.  Not always possible, you also have to do things wisely still, and within the right boundaries.  


Getting up and going to work, when you can hardly move a muscle or every bone aches. 


When you feel depressed, force yourself out of bed to go and do AT LEAST ONE THING to feel productive and feel better all the way around.  


It is hard to push through headaches, this is one thing I know.  But, anything that you can push through - you gotta push.  


Certain things always need to get done, household, personal care, and family member care. Yardwork.  


We never want things to go like they are not being looked after.  


Just push through.  


Push through Covid. Push through supply issues. Push through personal needs, and household needs. Push through. 


When you love someone or something, you put all your needs aside at times, to do what’s needed for them.  


Just push through.  


A breakup, a scammer, a relationship let down.  A divorce, a job loss.  


                                 Just push through!



WE GOT THIS!  Life has been challenging for me, but I have accomplished MUCH recently - feeling proud helps you push through!
