Where to Go In San Marcos

San Marcos always has something to celebrate. Conveniently located in Central Texas between Austin and San Antonio, San Marcos truly is the center of everything. So no matter where you are, you won't have far to go.

Real “True Grit”

Enthusiasm is common, endurance is not. I define grit simply as to “Be a Finisher.” While this is simple to understand, simple does not always mean easy. The concept is easy, “stick with it no matter what,” however, when you have various obstacles and distractions getting in your way it can be very difficult to stay on task. Oftentimes, we have excuses to excuse us from completing the goals that we set out to accomplish but generally, excuses are the polite lies we tell ourselves to ‘let us off the hook.’
