I am grateful for perseverance. I have more than I’d ever credit myself with. via /r/gratitude

I have worked so hard to become the person I want to be. I have also failed so many times. I have rarely felt proud of who I’ve become but have often suffered through terrible self-loathing. In light of this one might think I’d just give up…and yet I never do. I may have days or even weeks where I just can’t seem to push myself to do the things which I know will help me get where I want to be but then a new day begins and I get right back to it. I even feel optimism despite all the times I’ve failed to meet my own ideals. So grateful that I never give up.
