Sometimes when we look in front of us and see all the hard work and time that is involved in getting to where we want to be, we can feel daunted. Regardless of how many steps are between where we are today and our end goal, we still have to get through it. We still have to show up and take the steps we need to take. Some days you may make more progress and other days, it might feel like you are taking steps backwards. But that is all part of the process.
The truth is, while we are working towards our goals, we are going to have setbacks. Life is going to happen. And sometimes we are going to get knocked onto the ground. And that isn’t our fault, but if we don’t get back up and fight, that is on us.
You see, we get thrown things in life because adversity creates character. It is in our darkest times through the valley that we learn what we are made of. Overcoming these challenges is what propels us into greatness.
Ben Lionel Scott has a video on his channel titled, “I Will Not Give Up”. When you feel like giving up, you need to remind yourself of why you started your journey to begin with. When I feel like throwing in the towel, I watch this video because it helps me reframe my mindset. It reminds me that my success depends 100% on me and how I respond to life’s curveballs.
