‘Return to your main purpose during difficult periods.’- Clive Lewis

When things are tough, when things are not going well, we get frustrated.

But getting frustrated is not the solution. The solution is to focus on why you are doing what you are doing.

If you can focus on your why, the solution is right in front of you.

If you are stuck, if you do not know what to do, don’t get frustrated. Instead of getting frustrated, why not ask yourself, ‘What am I doing wrong?’

‘Why am I not getting what I want?’ ‘What is going on?’ ‘How am I going to move myself forward?’

Remember, it is not enough to ask questions. If you want things to change, you must be willing to put your questions to work.

You must be willing to do things differently. You must be willing to challenge yourself.

No matter what is going on in your life, if you are willing to pay the price, you can have the prize.

Are you willing to pay the price?
