It can be hard to see your struggle as a test when you’re in the middle of it. It’s in those moments of wondering if it’s really even worth it to keep going, that you have to dig deeper and rely on discipline, rather than motivation. You aren’t going to be motivated 100% of the time about your goal. You have to trust that staying disciplined, even when it is the last thing you want to do, will carry you through those moments of doubt in yourself.
When you feel like giving up, remember this:
- When you feel like quitting, remember why you started.
- The only way out of it, is through it. Keep going.
- Sometimes not getting what you want in a moment, is actually a wonderful stroke of luck.
- The most critical decision is made when you feel like giving up.
- You haven’t come this far to only come this far.
- It doesn’t matter how slow you go, just don’t stop.
- You haven’t failed. You’ve just found ways it won’t work. Just keep trying.
- No one has the power to shatter your dreams unless you give it to them.
- If your plan isn’t working, change it. Stay focused on the goal and flexible on how you get there.
- Be patient. Sometimes you have to go through the worst to get to the best.
