Persevere

Persevere. It’s a word we hear a lot of today, but don’t always know the true meaning of. People sometimes think that persevere is a synonym for success. Persevering can lead to success, but it’s not a direct synonym. Persevere to me means pushing past all the hard, disappointing, depressing, stuff in life to have a happy one no matter what.

Us Turner’s girls do have to persevere a lot. We push through things like having to go through heart surgery, putting ourselves through IVF or even going through the adoption process. We put ourselves through second guessing guys intentions sometimes. We deal with adapting our lives to our height. Bottom line is that us butterflies end up having to go through a lot of difficult stuff.

We are put through it for a reason though. That reason is because we CAN handle it. As much as we fight it and say that we simply can’t take anymore, we always get through it. We get through because we know the great good that will come at the end. You persevere through IVF or adoption, you get the absolute joy of being a parent. You get through the heart surgery, you come out feeling ten times better.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, no matter what hardship you are going through right now, know that you will get through it BECAUSE you are a butterfly. Do yourself a favor and think back to all the stuff you’ve already gotten through……amazing isn’t it? If you can get through all that stuff, what’s stopping you from getting through this? You can achieve and persevere through whatever you put your mind too. Have a good one butterflies, and may we always soar!
