In life, we have moments where we get tested mentally, physically, and spiritually. We experience financial difficulties, health problems, and this creates a downward spiral into many vices that we lean on to cope. You often hear many people say be courageous, be resilient, face your fears. I must admit I say these things a lot as a form of motivation. What I realize now it is often easier said than done. I believe we have to go through the difficult times to develop the courage needed to face our fears. We also have to overcome the many setbacks of life to create the resiliency you need to persevere.
My own life has been a series of highs and lows, ups and downs, and triumphs and setbacks. I am grateful for every one of the moments that I experience but, believe or not, I appreciate the bad times as well. During the difficult times, It gives us a chance to slow down and find out what truly matters and what doesn’t. We also begin to notice vices and unresolved issues that are holding us back. If we decide at that moment to change and start to put in the work on ourselves, we become more courageous and resilient as we continue to move forward in self-improvement.
It takes a lot of strength and determination to keep going when things aren’t working out the way you imagined they would. As you continue to be resilient and courageously press onward amid your difficult circumstances, continue to believe in yourself. Don’t be afraid of hitting rock bottom. It might be the wake-up call, and foundation you need to take off and navigate this world of uncertainty. Until next time, may you be encouraged to chase your dreams and never give up. Be you. Be great.
Love
