💥 Motivation Monday 💥

You don’t get what you wish for… you get what you work for.
Wishing doesn’t build muscle. Wishing doesn’t burn fat. Wishing doesn’t make you stronger, faster, or healthier.

What does? Showing up. Putting in the reps. Choosing discipline over excuses, day after day.

Every goal you have is possible—but only if your actions match your ambitions. So stop wishing. Start working. Your future self will thank you.

Let’s get after it this week.

Motivation Monday

Skipping your last set when it gets hard?
Cutting reps when no one’s watching?
Showing up late, going through the motions, not re-racking weights?

That same mindset is showing up in other parts of your life too—whether it’s your relationships, your job, or your goals.

The truth? Discipline isn't something you turn on and off. It’s a muscle. It’s built rep by rep—especially when no one’s watching.

If you can train yourself to stay focused and finish strong in the gym, you’re training yourself to do the same outside of it.

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being intentional.
Every. Single. Rep. Matters.

Let the way you train reflect the way you want to live. 💪

A big "thank you" to the Cedar Hills Elks Lodge #2678 from the team!

The Elks generously presented Mercy Health Foundation Jefferson with a $2,000 donation which will directly support Mercy Birthplace - Jefferson by providing essential equipment, materials and supplies needed to care for infants born with drug dependencies — both during their hospital stay and as they transition home with their families.

Great work by the Elks and everyone who supported their series of community-driven events, including their annual Battle of the Bands, two bike rides, local sponsorships, T-shirt sales and other fundraising activities.

It’s proof that when doctors are happier, patients are, too!

It’s not permanent. It doesn’t define you. And it sure doesn’t mean you’re done.

We all stumble. We all fall short. Whether it’s missing a workout, making a poor choice, or just feeling like you’re not measuring up—that moment is a bruise, not a life sentence.

Bruises fade. We heal. We learn.
What matters most is how you respond.

You can stay down and let that moment of failure hold you back…
Or you can get back up, stronger, smarter, and more determined.

Progress isn’t about perfection—it’s about resilience.
So give yourself some grace, shake it off, and keep showing up. The comeback is always stronger than the setback.

Before she worked in Mercy Pediatrics, Pat Ameis was known for something special — delivering more than just meals.

She brought patients handmade signs with uplifting messages, always paired with a kind word and a smile. Those small moments left a big mark. People still remember the signs they got from Pat during their hardest days.

Now, she brings that same comfort to kids and families in our pediatric unit.

When you support the Mercy Health Foundation, you're helping caregivers like Pat bring hope in ways that go far beyond medicine.
