Don’t stop! Don’t stop till you get to your destination.
There is no point taking a giant step only to stop halfway even though you are ahead. Or even gone far in your journey.
Neither is there any point crying over baby steps you are taking to do likewise.
Keep going!
Maintain your momentum.
Many have started but not finished. If you take baby steps and finish, you have done better than the one who was far ahead with giant steps who did an incomplete work. The same for the one who took giant steps and finished compared to the baby ‘stepper’ who did not.
So whether you are running or walking, get where you are going!
No doubt, someone needs to be cheered up today in your circle. Why not share this post with them on Facebook or repin the image on Pinterest.
Zoe met Eze (Chuck) in the 14th year of what turned out to be an 18 year ‘journey’ with mental illness. They got married less than a year of meeting with Zoe fully knowing Chuck had a diagnosis of mental illness. In the 18th year, Chuck defied the odds of mental illness. A consultant psychiatrist signed him off the mental health system with a bill of NO MENTAL ILLNESS. The consultant was so amazed by Chuck’s astonishing recovery that he even questioned how Chuck was diagnosed with mental illness all those years before, in the first place! Today Chuck is free from medication, its dependency and hospitalizations. Zoe’s award nominated book, DEFYING THE ODDS, chronicles the highs and ‘lows’ of this journey. Zoe, often writing from the standpoint of a caregiver, clearly understands that mental illness does not only affect an individual challenged with the disease, but also families, marriages and society as a whole.
