When Things Are Tough

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.

How To Find Your Inner Power

‘The challenges you face are not there to destroy you; they are there to redirect you to the path that’s right for you.’- David Cottrell

You are stronger and better than whatever you are facing in your life. Be patient with yourself. Just know that it is not going to be with you forever. Just know that you can defeat it, that you are better than what is trying to dim your light.

No one can dim your life. You are here to make a difference, not to waste your time. So, whatever it is that is trying to hold you back, do not give up. Focus on what is working for you.

Do not focus on what is not working for you. Focus on what you have, not on what you do not have. Focus on light, not darkness.

Challenges are not permanent. They are just there to test your love for yourself, to test your love for your dreams. They are not there to break you. They can’t break you. Unless you let them.

No matter what you are going through in your life, do not let it stop you from loving yourself, from caring about other people, from dealing with difficult things, from being true to yourself, from being grateful for what you have, and from honoring your life.

Because what you are going through is a test. And you are going to come out stronger, better, and wiser.

Do not stop. Keep going. Keep on keeping on. And you will get to where you want to be.
