“It’s okay to struggle, but it’s not okay to give up.”
~Gabriele Grunewald
Recently, I watched a show that featured the story of professional runner Gabriele Grunewald. Gabriele had been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Throughout her treatment and multiple surgeries, she pushed forward and kept running. In fact, she ran her best times AFTER her diagnosis. She REFUSED to give up. In fact her mantra was “It’s okay to struggle, but it’s not okay to give up.” How very appropriate for the times we find ourselves in. People are out of work, businesses are barely hanging on or worse, closing, and everyone in one form or another, is struggling. It can be very easy, when things get really tough, to give up. I implore you to not do that. Don't give up. Think about Gabriele and dig deep. Deeper than you've ever had to do and keep going. Remember, “It’s okay to struggle, but it’s not okay to give up.”
