Nothing is linear or ever 100% straightforward in life. Everything has its ups and downs and it’s important not to get disheartened or give up on your goals because you’re going through a rough patch.
You could be trying to get over a breakup, working on your self-development, or trying to remove toxic people from your life. Likewise, you could be trying to overcome an addiction, lose weight, set up your own business, etc. Whatever it is, you’re not just going to decide to do something and it all be a bed of roses.
It’s not just going to keep getting better every day without fail. There will be times when it’s tough and you feel like quitting. Somedays nothing will go your way and you will question why you started and if it’s even possible for you.
You’ll be fine one day and then the next everything will go against you. This is when you’ll feel like quitting and giving up on your goal.
In times like this, you must remember that nothing in life is linear, and becoming successful and overcoming the hard times in your life is a process that is very up and down. You’re going to feel ok one day and disheartened the next. Therefore, you need to keep moving forward every day, despite your setbacks.
It’s crucial to always have your why and your end goal in sight and to know that it’s worth it. Remember, all the ups and downs are part of life, learning, growing, and to get you to where you want to be.
Remember
Success isn’t overnight and it will take time and a lot of bumps in the road to lead you to where you want to be. However, it will make it even more worth it when you do finally get there.
You are always exactly where you need to be and you need challenging days to get you through. They will help you to learn the lessons you need to live the life of your dreams and truly appreciate it.
Don’t give up on your goals just because you’re having a hard stretch. Even if you’ve reverted to old habits or negative actions, just keep going. Stop being so hard on yourself, pick yourself back up, and start again.
In a year you’ll look back and understand why you had to overcome the lows and challenges that you’re currently facing. Nothing is linear in life and it would be boring if you always got what you wanted straight away and without any effort.
It’s time for you to start seeing any failures or challenges as a good thing. Trust that you will reach all of your goals in time and when it’s the right time for you.
Summary
There’s no such thing as an overnight success. Therefore, it’s important to remember that everyone goes through challenging times in their life before they get to their end goal.
People tend to only show their highlight reel in life. You don’t get to see all the heartache, struggles, obstacles, and tough times they have faced. These challenges helped them to learn and grow into the next version of themselves. Therefore, they could create the life they always envisioned for themselves because of their setbacks.
Nothing is linear in life, therefore, it’s time to stop being so hard on yourself. Trust the process you need to go through to reach your goals.
Life isn’t always easy but overcoming the hard times will make you more resilient and grateful. You will be proud of yourself when you get to where you want to be in your life.
As long as you’re always working towards your end goal and being better every day, you will get there and it will all be worth it in the end.
