Our journey of life is about progress,

The Best Way Out
If someone asked me to pick one word to describe any success I've had in my life, I wouldn't hesitate. The word would be perseverance. Life at times can be difficult...but our faith can bring us through!

That's why this book by BJ Gallagher holds a special place in my heart. The Best Way Out is Always Through captures the essence of perseverance. Her amazing stories, her great quotes and her unique brand of original poetry make this one of the most inspirational books we've published in a long time.

We should never forget what we all have in common. That is...at some point in our life, we will face adversity. It's not a matter of if, but...when. And when adversity strikes, it's not about what happens that will determine our destiny, it's about how we react to what happens. And so many times, it'll be about...staying the course, which is why I selected BJ's poem by that title, to share with you today. Enjoy!

An excerpt from
The Best Way Out Is Always Through
by BJ Gallagher
Our journey of life is about progress,
not perfection.
It's not about doing one thing
100% better -
it's a matter of doing 100 things,
1% better each day.

Progress is evolutionary
not revolutionary,
and most days we measure our progress
in inches,
not miles.

What matters most
is showing up for your life
whether you feel like it
or not.

Ask yourself,
"What two or three little things
can I do today
that would move me forward?"

You'll be amazed
at how much distance
you can cover
by taking it in increments.

The little things add up;
the inches turn to miles;
and we string together our efforts
like so many pearls.
Before long,
look what you have -
a whole strand!

Ah... beautiful
