The road has been more difficult than usual lately. Somehow, I think I was meant to find the following quote, printed on card stock and slipped in among spiral notebooks and unread mail on the desk in my parents’ kitchen tonight:

“I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life’s greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.” –Anthony Robbins

My mom frequently shares nuggets of wisdom such as the one below with me via email.  I love getting these messages from her, particularly when I’m having a rough day. They serve as a reminder of what I’m fighting for and reassurance that I’m not fighting alone.

“I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life’s greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a neverending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent.

I won’t ever give up.
