By Alexis George — Written on Oct 19, 2018
Do you remember a time when you were studying for a test and after hours of staring at your notes the material still wouldn’t stick? Remember a time when you were searching for a job and after months of applying you still hadn’t heard back from anyone?
Remember a time when you were trying to work out and become healthier, but you weren’t seeing the results?
Well you aren’t alone. We’ve all experienced moments when nothing seems to go right.
It seems like you’ve been working tirelessly for no reason. You began to get frustrated as time goes by and you feel like you still aren’t nearly where you want to be. You think to yourself, “why am I still trying?”
Then the thought of quitting pops into your head. How much easier would your life be if you just stopped putting so much time and energy into things that never seem to work out anyway.
I’m here to tell you that this is the moment when you need to push even harder.
It is so easy to give up, but the true test of a person is shown when they continue to fight even when the odds aren’t in their favor.
You are stronger than you realize, and the obstacles you are facing won’t last forever. Remind yourself of why you started your journey in the first place and why it is important for you to finish.
Perhaps you have people counting on you to succeed, or maybe you are just trying to prove to yourself that you are capable of reaching your dreams. Whatever you need to tell yourself to keep you motivated and pushing forward say it.
