Read this when you want to give up
t has to be strong enough to endure the hard days. It has to be strong enough to persist through the difficult times. it has to be humble enough to accept minor set-backs.
It can get difficult at times when you’re on the journey toward a long awaited goal. You get stuck doubting if you made the right decision, and questioning if you are worth it or not. It seems like one thought begins to take you down a rabbit hole of never-ending questions…
until…
You are reminded of your “why”.
What exactly is your “why”? Welllllll, your “why” is your reason for why you do what you do. Your why is your driving force behind the work and process you are enduring, as a way to reach a goal. The thing about your “why” is that it has to be strong.
It has to be strong enough to endure the hard days. It has to be strong enough to persist through the difficult times. it has to be humble enough to accept minor set-backs. Your “why” has to touch your heart.
I want you to think about your current priorities. Are they helping you towards another goal? Do they touch you in a way that you feel consistently drawn to it? If the answer to either of the questions is no; It may be time to reprioritize what you are giving your energy to.
Oftentimes, when we are feeling overwhelmed, it is because we are simply “doing too much”. When we are doing too much, then it means we have too many things on our plate that shouldn’t be there.
Is it time for you to do a priority test?
Why should we LOVE WHAT WE DO?
In all honesty, comfort is the worst enemy of growth and joy.
My Brand of “Living out Loud” came about as a way to encourage us all to be vulnerable, open, and honest with ourselves regarding our life and our personal journeys. Over the course of my journey I have been faced with many trying situations that I would feel obligated to remain in, due to loyalty….
Due to COMFORT!
In all honesty, comfort is the worst enemy of growth and joy.
I say this because, oftentimes we stay in something that is not beneficial to us, just because it is comfortable. That comfort is hurting us more than we really know. I say this, because when we operate out of comfort instead of passion; we are usually not fully satisfied.
When we aren’t satisfied, we find ourselves in this ever revolving cycle of hurt, pain, and asking “what-if”.
When we do what we love, we won’t have the time to ask those questions, because we love what we do.
Today, if you are finding yourself unhappy with your current circumstances… I ask that you assess these two questions:
Do I love what I do?
Am I doing what I love?
If the answer isn’t yes to both…. It’s time to reevaluate life.
