There is one thing we are all good at when times are going well and life seems great.
However the hard part seems to come when we are put down or life takes a turn for the worst.
To top it off when we feel bad it seems that everyone else around us is smashing it, we all see what their social media is telling us, don’t we..?
They are in a great relationship, work is amazeballs etc…they are having such an awesome life, that it kinda makes some of us a bit jealous.
You see the thing is, we often love to see people do well and become successful, we also say how lucky they are, without thinking of the BIG journey it took to get them where they are, do we..?
We all seem to see the big picture of them relaxing on the beach chilling with a cocktail, instead of the long HARD video of their life showing how they got there in the first place…
The video that would show the struggle, the pain, the adversity etc… that they had to overcome to make it.
What I am trying to say is that no one who is successful goes through life without being tested.
How many people who lost weight, got strong, made it in business etc… had an easy journey..?
How many times did they slip up, eat crap or get rejected and sink backwards a few steps, just to get up and move forward another ten because of their positive growth mindset..?
Look, the concept of get rich quick schemes in business, drop a dress size sustainably in 2 weeks, magic pills for strength gain… they just don’t exist…
Life is a test and it is up to you whether you pass or fail….
As soon as you start blaming others for your failures, 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝗪𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐋.
You have the choice, whether you want to take some responsibility and be positive about the outcome or play the blame game and be negative.
Staying positive is not about being fake and smiling through the hard times or believing that you can do it on your own.
It is about being upbeat and asking for help from those who will bring that positive side to the surface. (Get a coach)
The measure of your success is not determined by how you act when life is great, but how you think and respond to the challenges you will undoubtedly face when life gets a bit hard.
To finish of, here is an awesome quote from ROCKY (Sly Stallone) that encompasses all of the above:
“𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘪𝘯’𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘣𝘰𝘸𝘴.
