Welcome to the AJ April Challenge, Week 2. Our word prompt for April is RESOLVE. As usual, I want to start out with the definition of this word.
resolve /rĭ-zŏlv′/
'Resolve to be a master of change rather than a victim of change". Brian Tracy
"Every obstacle yields to stern resolve."
Leonardo da Vinci
"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other."
Abraham Lincoln
"Resolve to do the things you find to be difficult. That's what confident people do. They tackle those things that are scary and they get addicted to doing it."
Chalene Johnson
Here are some more quotes with pictures that I'm so fond of.
Chalene Johnson
I stepped WAY out of my comfort zone last December 28th, when I got on a plane and flew to Vegas with my daughter and son-in-law. I had a wonderful visit and got to spend a few days with my dear friend, Susie @pachimac.
Journaling reads: "When the opportunity to go to Vegas came up, I did something very unlike me. I said yes, then started overthinking it. I hate to fly, period. I never wanted to get back on a plane. But when I realized that I had the opportunity to meet my Dear friend Susie, I reached deep into myself and decided to go. If I hadn't, I would have missed a wonderful time with Susie and her family and the celebration of New Year's with them.'
