The Persistent Pursuit

A GROWTH MINDSET

Definition of Persistence—firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition

My entire life I’ve been goal oriented

The finish line has always seemed to be moving

Good job upon graduation

Better job 

Better pay

Even better pay

You get the gist

Since I can remember, I’ve been in the persistent pursuit of the next goal.

Each time I’ve achieved, it’s almost as if the curtain was peeled back to the realities of what I thought I wanted and it was no longer there.

Because once I’d attained what I spent so long in the persistent pursuit of, I realized I could do better

It almost felt like I was disappointed at what I’d achieved, it no longer seemed good enough or big enough anymore

I’d downplay the accomplishment and search for the next goal

I realize now that in order to grow, this is the mentality required

I’ve come to the conclusion that the goal will always evolve as your life and your values do

It’s what’s required to grow and evolve as a person and to continue to accomplish what you set out to do

My personal goals have evolved as I’ve grown over time.

My fitness goals have evolved over the years

That’s why the mission of ALL IN ATHLETIC CLUB is that we are

“bonded by the persistent pursuit of our health and performance goals”

We are growth-driven individuals

I believe that it’s in our DNA to strive to be better

You can’t will a persistent effort or drive into someone. It’s within them. 

It’s the voice that can’t be ignored.

It’s the reason when challenges arise or life gets tough that we don’t give up, we persist

The persistent pursuit is what gives our life purpose and meaning

If we stop after crossing the finish line, then what?

The question will always be—“what’s next?”

And it’s a GOOD THING

We are growing!
