Character and wisdom are sculpted over time. They come with loss, lessons, and triumphs. They come after doubts, second guesses, and exploring unknowns.
The seeds of your progress are planted in your past failures.
Your best stories will come from overcoming your greatest struggles.
Your praises will be birthed from your pains. So keep standing, keep learning, and keep living. Life really is not easy, but it has to be worth it, right?
If you expect it to be easy, you will perpetually disappoint yourself. Achieving anything worthwhile in life takes time and effort. You must align your efforts with your goals and then start every day ready to run farther than you did yesterday and fight harder than you ever have before.
The beginnings to good things are always the hardest, but it’s these hard times that pave the path to greatness.
Be strong and keep the faith that you can succeed. It will be worth it in the end.
The greatest miracle of your success in life will not be that you finished, it will be that you found the strength and courage to begin.
And remember, it’s not that those who are strong never get weak in the knees, or that they never hold their breath before they embark…….It’s that while their knees are shaking, they force themselves to breath and take the first step.
