Affirmation for July 13, 2010: Perseverence and Letting Go

Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go. - Author Unknown Thought of the day: As a counterpoint to yesterday's affirmation, it's truly an art to know when you need to stick it through, and when it's time to move on-- in relationships, in jobs, in anything that seems just a little rough. How can you tell when there will be a light at the end of the tunnel, and how can you tell when you're just heading for a dead end? There's no sure answer to this, but one tip you can use as your guide: look to the future. Will things realistically get better? Five years down the line, do you see yourself in the same place? Will the hard work you're putting in pay off? If the answer is yes, stick with it! If the answer is leaning towards no, and you're thinking of making a change, make sure your emotions are in check and you have a plan. Looking and planning ahead will help you navigate your way to happiness in a smart way. Have a clever day! TeamDS
