I have a favor to ask

I was poking around on Facebook today, puttering around between adulting responsibilities and administrative tasks, and I came across a video--a TED talk, in fact--by a woman named Angela Lee Duckworth.  In it, she talks about why some students succeed and others fail.  It stuck with me, and I wanted to share it with all of you.
​
One characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success.
It was grit.
Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out. Not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality.
So, yeah.  Here I am on my day off, doing what I usually do on my days off . . . working.  (I am not always good at that whole work-life balance thing, I will admit.)

As many of you know, grit I have aplenty.  But I also need your help.

See, it's survey time again--the annual Best of the Boat contest is going on now until August 18th.  I'm up for two categories this year:  best spa (pg 2, Business & Community) and best massage therapist(pg 3, Professionals).

There's no electoral college here, folks--every vote counts.  And I do mean every vote.

Picture
So please share this with your friends, your family, your neighbors, anyone with an email address--heck, even your enemies will do!  I would really, really, really like to make it all the way to first place again this year.

After all . . . reaching your goals take grit, but sometimes it takes a little help, too.

    When not doing massage, Erica can often be found doing yoga, chasing goats, or puttering in the kitchen.  On occasion, these activities have been known to overlap.
