Never Give Up
Six-Word Photo Story Challenge
Studying The Rest of My Life.
On Monday morning, this was me savoring a large Peet’s dark roast Coffee and diligently studying for my National Phlebotomy exam.
As I watched people walk in, spin in circles around me, and the morning sunlight hit my steaming cup of coffee just right; I thought, “It’s been a long gritty road. I still have a ways to go, and I’ve come a long way.”
A while back, my therapist suggested I try switching out the word but for and, after noticing I would make a statement and follow up that statement with “…but…” almost immediately discounting, rationalizing, or invalidating myself and my previous opinion.
So — so far, so good.
I’ve learned a lot in the last two years. I’ve pushed myself way beyond my comfort zones (in every possible way). I’m still learning — and always will be. And I am now a licensed Phlebotomist.
Never Give Up — even when it seems like your only option.
