Let’s talk about 2 important traits that are important to develop in dealing with your Divorce—Patience & Perseverance!

Going through a divorce presents difficulties, obstacles, and complications. You will need a best friend named Persistence. This friend will help you forge ahead on a steady and determined course of action leading you to your goals.

Many of us will talk ourselves out of our original plan when things are not going exactly as we intended. For example, “I don’t have enough money to save for retirement, savings or vacations”, “My divorce will never be finalized”, ”I am stuck in an endless situation and I’ll never be able to take control of my own life.” Remember, keeping yourself steadfast and on track as you approach your future is imperative.

Focus on your goal while visualizing good things. When you visualize a positive outcome in your mind and imagine yourself getting there, it will be almost impossible to give up.

To help you stay motivated, start off by setting small, achievable goals. Don’t give up on contributions to your savings and retirement accounts or charitable giving.  A small and steady contribution will allow your accounts to better serve you in the future. This holds true when trudging through all the red tape involved in divorce. Small steps are better than standing still.

Keep focused and on the right track and persevere. If you persist…you will succeed.
