Midweek Boost: Yet ©️Dawn Minott

YET

The most powerful addition

I can’t do this + YET = optimism

I can’t express myself + YET = growth mindset

I don’t get it + YET = perseverance

The week is long. The weekend is short. Midweek is a good point to recharge to get over the hump—PERSEVERE! Happy hump day!

Midweek Boost: Persevere to Level Up© | with audio

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry14 Comments

Some days are hard.

You don’t want to get out of bed; and when you do, you wish the day was already over.

Lean into the cause of dismay, the hurt or pain. Honor the emotional place where you are. Validate your feelings and know: it’s okay to not be okay.

Personally, when I’ve looked retrospectively at my hardest times, I realized they were just before some of my greatest achievements.

Everything feels difficult when you’re about to LEVEL UP.

So … PERSEVERE!

Mid-Week Boost: Persevere!

On By Dawn MinottIn Prose13 Comments

With one word—persevere—US Supreme Court Nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson preached a sermon and let lose a rallying call.

In that one moment her daughter looks on in admiration and confirmation that her mom is not only the epitome of perseverance but that she has her mom to emulate as she too will need to persevere.

On the other hand is her husband, and he is in tears. He’s listened and watched his wife being battered and grilled relentlessly. Despite having more judicial experience than 43 of the last 58 the US justices who took the bench, some members of the Congress could not forgo racist throes, ludicrous questioning and misogynoir.

Many many moments of the confirmation hearing stood out for me. But, when asked what she’d say to young people, her response: “I would tell them persevere”, really resonated with me!

And she’s demonstrated perseverance throughout her studies, her career, her life, and surely drew on it during her Supreme Court Nomination Hearing.

At this mid-week point of the week, let’s join the rallying call to PERSEVERE!!!!
