Thats just kind of the way that life works sometimes. It’s Murphy’s Law. When things go wrong, they always seem to happen at once and they just compound on top of each other, and it’s pretty easy sometimes, to feel beaten. When you’re hit with all those issues and all those problems and they all just hit you at the same time. But let me tell you. That doesn’t mean to give up, in fact, it means the opposite. It means it’s time to fight harder, to dig in, means it’s time to go on the warpath. When you feel like giving up, dont. When you thinking about giving up, dont. When it look like you aren’t gonna make it, keep going. When they tell you you cant, who are they? When they tell you’re not gonna make it, dont believe it. You got to be relentless.
Whats the biggest problem? What’s causing the most stress? Family? Sit them down, explain where you are at. Be blunt, be upfront, and then give them the simple plan on how you’re gonna get things back on track. Don’t sugarcoat it, give it to them straight. And then you get started. It wont be easy, it will be hard, because life is hard. That’s what life is. And these challenges that you face, they’re gonna do their best to take you down. Do not let them. Stand up, dig in, line up those problems and confront them, face them, fight them. Do not let them bring you down. In fact let those challenges raise you up. Let them elevate you. Let their demands and their trials make you stronger. Let the adversity you face today, turn you into a better person tomorrow. So in the future you look back at these struggles and you say to them, “thank you, you made me better.”
