Persistance

I got this old stop sign at a garage sale. I repainted it and added the Capiies logo. Now I hang it up as a reminder and motivation.

To start something, you have to take the first step — and sometimes that’s the hardest part. I’ve always been the type of person who likes to do things, but I never fully committed myself to the process, the journey, or the persistence required no matter the outcome.

Over the years, I’ve learned a lot about this. Capiies has been my way of testing how long I can commit to something that doesn’t show results right away. But I’ve realized that wasn’t 100% true. Some days I feel like I did less than the day before, and other days I feel like I accomplished a lot. Either way, I was doing something — and that was progress. Every step, even the small ones, taught me something I didn’t know the day before.

It’s easy (at least for me) to get stuck wanting immediate results. But when I take a step back, I can see that I have been moving forward. Maybe not at the same pace all the time, but I’m definitely not in the same place I was yesterday, last week, or last year.

Capiies has been a learning journey for me. I’ve learned patience, commitment, and persistence. I’ve learned not to expect instant results from everything I do — but to keep going anyway.

I don’t know exactly where this will lead me, but I can say this: I’m not planning to stop, no matter the outcome.
