Refuse to Give Up
Every day we need messages that encourage us to press on and live with grit. Storms blow. Life gets hard. Craziness happens. We say yes too many times and the result in stress and overwhelm.
When I read what you’re about to read, it reminded me of who I am. The author, Jon Gordon, penned these words in his book, The Power of Positive Leadership. He’s one of the positive people who has influenced my life.
“No matter what anyone says, just show up and do the work.
If they praise you, show up and do the work.
If they criticize you, show up and do the work.
If no one even notices you, just show up and do the work.
Just keep showing up, doing the work, and leading the way.
Lead with passion.
Fuel up with optimism.
Have faith.
Power up with love.
Maintain hope.
Be stubborn.
Fight the good fight.
Refuse to give up.
Ignore the critics.
Believe in the impossible.
Show up.
Do the work.
You’ll be glad you did.
True grit leads to true success.”
