Just Keep Swimming!

This post is not just about swimming.

Our children have a book about the Disney character Nemo. In the book Nemo faces doubt and obstacles about whether or not he’ll make the swim team, or win a race. He doubts his chances because he has two mismatched fins—a regular-size fin, and a tiny little one.

While Nemo may not be so sure of himself, his friend Dory encourages him every chance she can. “Just keep swimming!” Dory cries. By the end of the book, well, I won’t spoil it. You can find Just Keep Swimming online or at a store. I like the positive messages about faith and perseverance.

We all need this in our lives! Personally, there are times when my writing work, and revisions get tough. When I feel bogged down and can’t phone a friend, I remind myself to, “Just keep swimming!” I needed to say it a lot last week to power through a tough spot. And it worked! My project is moving forward, and I’ll be making some fun announcements about it in the coming weeks.  

Do you have an encouraging phrase, or something you do for yourself, or others, when the going gets tough? Share it with us, maybe you’ll help someone, or start a trend.


Just Keep Swimming!
