It was tough. It was tough, and it’s tough – it always seems to stay that way. It always looks impossible until it’s possible. But here’s the thing: it’s tough because you are near, it’s tough because you are almost there. So, what do you do? Stay connected and focus on your goals with all your heart.
In reality, life isn’t a straightforward ABC; it’s not a wish-granting factory. We still have to wish and dream anyway. The truth is, that challenges and struggles will always strike. We just have to be ready for them and know perfectly how to deal with them because they will eventually come. There’s no getting around it –we have to deal with it as it is, no excuses. We have to take full responsibility, and that’s how we grow.
This brings us to a crucial distinction: there are two types of people – the ones that see the challenge when thrown at them and the ones that see the opportunities and benefits lying beneath that same challenge. As the famous adage goes, “In every challenge lies an opportunity." So, the question is, which one will you choose? Make a wise decision. There will be times when life makes you feel like you’re at rock bottom, that you ain’t gonna accomplish anything at all. But here’s what you can control, how much you believe in yourself,do you let it weigh you down, or rather use it as motivation to get to your goals? If you choose the latter, great choice. And if it’s the former, you might need to reevaluate your approach.
Ultimately, life is not easy, and perhaps it never will be. But what you can do is outgrow it, and then you will have a better life. Because, as always and forever, despite everything, all you have is one life. So, live it well –not perfectly, but intentionally. You see, it’s not optional; it’s essential. Life is a dangerous game, It’s never going to ask you if you want to play or not because you’re already in the game. So, you’re either winning or losing, you’re either assisting or scoring the goals yourself. However you look at it, you can just choose to play along. What’s crystal clear is that you have to play. The rules are changeable, and the objective of the game is to keep playing for as long as possible. There are two theories of games the finite and infinite game.if you’re late without an immediate family or any legacy sort behind that’s a finite game played. But if it’s the opposite, you never stop playing – now that’s what infinity looks like.
Life doesn’t get easier you just grow stronger let that sink in. Wake up every day and face it, Block out your fears, tackle your problems head-on, and always finish strong each given day. Build that life you always dream of through thick and thin, and the magic you are looking for is in the same way you are avoiding, you don't always have to do it on your whims, do it when necessary don’t be nice to yourself be kind instead. You can’t always rely on people for your affairs face it yourself. there is no other way to do it is either your face or you face it. No matter how much it hurts now, someday you will look back and realize your struggle changed your life for the better. Never be afraid to try something new, life gets boring when you stay within the limits of what you already know, wake up every day and try something new, never mind failing, is part of your way to success, these two words are different but they do compliment each other perfectly sometimes so yes Fail just don't quit.
