Nothing worth having comes easy. It is often through our blood, sweat and tears that we arrive to the place we set out for long ago. This is a place where in our darkest hours we wondered if we’d even make it there. What’s curious is that we tend to put all of our focus on the destination, but less focus on the journey there. But it is in the journey that we discover who we really are and what we are made of.
Here are some things to remember when your road becomes difficult:
- Everything is temporary – even this struggle.
- Even bad times end.
- All these challenges and hurdles are helping you grow stronger.
- The hardest days shines a light on what is most important to us.
- All we have is now. Focus on the present.
- Change is inevitable, growth is optional.
- Sometimes the storm comes to clear our path for better things.
- You have survived everything bad that has happened to you.
- You have incredible strength and resilience to overcome anything.
- Trust the journey, even when you don’t understand it.
- This is your journey, no one else’s. Avoid comparing where you are on your path with where others may be.
- You have not come this far to only come this far.
- Keep going.
