“Do not blame the problems and challenges of life for your humbling circumstances. Does the seed complain because of the rocks it must grow over, under, around, or through? ” - (Rohn, Jim. The Seasons of Life)
It’s human nature to get frustrated when a new challenge presents itself.
The more you entertain the negative, the more you will have its presence.
Get out of your head.
You are not the only one going through something.
Some challenges may be similar to past ones. It’s a matter of how you handle it this time around.
Allow yourself to marinate in them enough to tell yourself that you will not allow these emotions take over who you truly are.
People will take advantage of the good.
Don’t be naive to think otherwise.
You have to build your internal confidence and know your self worth to build those boundaries.
Your self worth and confidence is not cockiness.
Others will say it is.
It’s only a reflection of who they wish to be.
You are working on your dreams to become a reality and unfortunately not everyone you meet will see it that way.
Visualize your best self during each challenge.
That is priceless and unteachable.
Going through the challenges and accepting them as positive obstacles in your journey keeps you from dragging dead weight.
You WILL become
Wiser.
Stronger. Mentally and physically.
Patient.
Optimistic.
And most importantly,
Brave.
Don’t lose yourself through toughness.
Embrace your badass self that you are meant to continuously evolve into.
Enjoy YOUR journey.
