MOTIVATION: Anything Worth Having Takes Hard Work

If you aren’t struggling (at least a little), then your #goals aren’t big enough.⁣

Anything worth having takes hard work. It’s not going to be a picnic all the way through. That includes #relationships, career, health, spiritual, and financial goals. All good things in life come with some discomfort, #fear, sadness, and/or #anger in additional to all of the positive #emotions and outcomes. But if it is a goal worth having, and it speaks to your highest and most treasured $values, then you will keep pushing ahead despite the discomforting feelings and thoughts because you know it will be worth it in the end. ⁣ ⁣ Think about your last big goal. Was it when you graduated from school? When you achieved a big milestone at work? When you got married, had children, or moved to a new city? Was it when you reached your goal weight or bought a new house? Now ask yourself, was the journey smooth and easy? Or did it come with some rough patches? ⁣ ⁣ I want you to start embracing those rough patches and see them as necessary and even good! Challenges along the way to a big goal shows us that we are on the right track. And when you overcome those challenges, that gives you such a big self-esteem boost, and you’ll become even more confident that you can achieve everything you put your mind to.⁣ ⁣ What’s your next big goal, and what’s been holding you back from going for it?
