When Things Are Tough

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Tough does not mean impossible. It is not a stop sign. It means work harder. It means be honest with yourself.

Tough means be ready. Be prepared. It means you can if you are willing, if you work a bit harder.

When you are faced with tough times, don’t turn back. Do not stop working. Do not stop asking questions. Do not stop improving yourself.

Tough times are good for you. They are there to strengthen your thoughts. They are there to test you, to see how tough you are. They are not there to stop you from achieving your dreams.

Because to improve your situation, you must improve yourself. To change your life, you must first change yourself.

So when things are tough, do not forget who you are. Do not forget where you are coming from. Do not forget where you are. And do not forget where you are going.

When things are tough, if you do not forget why you are doing what you are doing, you will get to where you are going.

Your Time Will Come

There is time for everything. Do not get frustrated. Pay attention to what you are doing. Keep doing what you are doing, no matter how hard. If you do not give up on yourself, if you do not give up on your dreams, your time will come.

In the words of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, ‘A definite span of time has been appointed for all of nature’s happenings. Nothing can come into being or frutify before that appointed time.’

‘No matter what is going on in your life, if you do not say no to yourself, if you do not say no to your dreams, if you just keep doing, your time will come.

If you don’t listen to doubters, if you don’t listen to naysayers, if you ignore the noise, if you keep working, if you keep loving your work, your appointed time will come.

Do not give up. Do not say, ‘I can’t do this. This is too hard for me. It is not for me.’ Instead, focus all your energy, all your attention, and all your time on what is possible.

When you focus on what is possible, things become easier to deal with.

Before I leave you, when things are tough, remember why you are doing it.
