BE STRONG DURING TOUGH TIMES

You're gonna have sometimes low moments when you won't wanna get out of bed. You just wanna stay there. At times you won't wanna come out of the house. It's hard living. Life is hard. It's hard handling just the tragedies of life. It's hard. When you're working on something and you put everything you have in it and it doesn't work out, you lose your money and other people's money. It's hard. You will go through things, and while you're going through them, you can't understand why it's happening to you. And it's in these moments right now that so often we feel like backing down. What is it that will make it worth it for you to face the rejections? What is it that will make it worth it for you to brainstorm and not be intimidated and say, I can do this?

 What is it that will make it worth it for you to raise the bar on yourself and say, I got some more stuff in me? What is it that will make it for you when you wanna give up and things are working against you? What is it that will help you get back up again? A man's character is not judged after he celebrates a victory, but by what he does when his back is against the wall. So no matter how great the setback, how severe the failure, you never give up. You're going to fail. You're going to make some mistakes. You got to fight, you will have opposition, things are gonna happen to you in life. It's called life, and it's not personal. Stuff's gonna happen. Sure you might lose comfort and sleep. Sure it might be frightening. But so what? The darker the night, the brighter the morning. You will fail your way to success. It doesn't matter how many times you fail, it doesn't matter how many times people tell you that you can't do it, it doesn't matter if you don't have a dime in the bank. The thing that's causing you pain today actually has purpose in your life. 

Every season you can learn, every season you can grow, every challenge is developing you. That which does not kill you will make you stronger. It's the obstacles in our life, it's the hardships, it's the mountains that we climb that make life worth living. But the mountain is not supposed to stop you. You mountain has the materials for your miracle. Your conditions are not always in your control. You don't always get to decide what kind of skies you face, there are some things that are outside of your control, but your courage is in your control. Take that leap of faith, trust yourself and know within yourself that everything is gonna be alright. The harder the battle, the sweeter the victory. Oh it's sweet to you. It's good to you, why? See, when it's hard and there's a struggle, what you become in the process is more important than the dream. That's far more important. The kind of person you become, the character that you build, the courage that you develop, the faith that you're manifesting. Oh it's something that you get up in the morning, you look yourself in the mirror, you're a different kind of person, you walk with a different kind of spirit. And people know that you know what life is. That you have embraced life. You knew it was hard, but you did it hard.
