Z - Zeal

No matter what you do, do it with zeal.  It doesn’t matter if people are watching, or if anyone even knows.  In the great scheme of things- you’ll know.  Draw confidence from small successes.  ‘I totally emptied the laundry basket today.’   ‘I made a kick ass meal.’   ‘I wrote a whole chapter.’  ‘I controlled my temper.’  'I got a perfect score on guitar hero!'

Knowing that you’re capable of your best makes all the difference in every aspect of life.

Well, there you have it.  Short but sweet- this A-Z challenge has been full of surprises and I’ve met great people and discovered some amazing blogs!  Thank you to all my new followers and to everyone who commented on this months posts!

Have a great weekend!

    You made it! Lovely post on Zeal. I love when I get 100% on Guitar Hero (or Rock Band).

    It feels bittersweet to reach Z. It has been a fun challenge. I love your Zeal and do truly try to live this way. Sometimes it works and sometimes I try harder.
    Have a fabulous weekend and good luck with the querying:)

    It's better to be zealous than jealous.

    This is something I'm taking away from the Blog Challenge. I have a passion for life again...my zeal for all things that once were mundane but now I see through new eyes. I take great pride in accomplishing the simplest of tasks now. After all, I blogged everyday this month!!! Plus, I've learned you shouldn't sweat the small stuff and take time to smell the catfood. Great post as usual!

    I suck at guitar hero but I rule on the drums on rock band! Thanks for this post I am going to now make a list of all my little successes and chuck my list of things I want to succeed at....it was a reallt depressing list!

    It was great to connect with you through the the challenge! I like the zeal post. As I've gotten farther along in my pregnancy (now 8 months) I have started more and more to celebrate ANYTHING I'm able to accomplish within the day :)
