This episode at Feather & Foundation our WOW word is Perseverance. Perseverance is steely quality that can show up in life's tough moments and circumstances. We often are reminded as we hear people's stories- the many obstacles that they have overcome in their life- they persevered. You'll hear eight tips in persevering in difficult times that will give tools and skills to navigate this thing called life.
A recent reunion and since then many conversations of people who have walked through some tough things (or currently in the middle of them) prompted this WOW word this week of Perseverance. I was inspired sitting with a group of very successful women listening to their beginning and the life things they had to navigate to rise to the top in their business field. On paper, it seemed like "success" could have easily evade them based on their life situations.....however, the thing called perseverance prevailed are they soared to the top 1% of their company. Leading and mentoring others to do the same. So inspiriting. Perseverance is inspiring....it's done in the hard, the messy and the moments when you want to give up-----but you don't- you keep going. When life pulls the rug out from under us- we are Reeling, then Dealing and then Healing if we are successful in growing through it. Perseverance is a trait we admire, applaud and desire. Think of the hard things you've had to deal with in your life and think of the perseverance you've had to overcome. You are stronger than you know.
