Injured?
Depressed?
Sad?
Bad day?
...
There are a million reasons why you and I could NOT do what is good for our health, our family, our business, and our community. The quitting road is often called the easy road, but it also where you fail to get that promotion, have health problems, and lose out.
Quitting only guarantees one thing - you lost.
How you move forward even after getting hit with bad news, bad breaks, and bad people defines your present day. It also determines your future. What you and I do today - how we do it; how we react, and what you actually do matters.
Remember: even the tiniest steps get you closer to the goal. No matter how "simple" it is, progress accumulates.
Perspective: you KNOW people who are worse off than you. People missing limbs. People with life ending diseases. People who fooled around in school and their 20s, only to now be starting at the bottom entry-level jobs in their 30s next to High Schoolers. Others have harder roads and overcame them everyday. Be inspired.
*note, I love the human who is making amends for their behavior and doing the right thing in their 30s.. 40s.. They made their own bed and are building up to be the best self they possibly can today. I know they will live a better life because they've changed their mindset and daily actions - far greater than staying on that old road of ruin.
Give the effort, the best you have at this moment. Be proud of your effort. Continue on my friend.
