I used to think that when it got hard that was a sign that it wasn’t meant to be.
I used to give up too early.
I used to think others had an easier life path, or better luck than me.
I told myself that the price others had to pay for their good fortune wouldn’t be worth it.
I was wrong.
If you are willing to persist towards what matters, your life will matter to you.
If you build resilience when things get hard, you will gain strength to do more.
If you are willing to put yourself in the face of beauty, beauty will find you in ways you could have never expected.
Along the way you will break through old patterns, push through self limiting beliefs, and summon more grit and determination than you knew you were capable of.
And one day you will be on the other side where life is beautiful and meaningful, and worthwhile.
It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.
