Whether you hit all of your goals this year or not, make sure you thank yourself for getting this far.. Staying in the game is admirable! BE PROUD OF YOU! Pushing yourself whether you win or lose takes discipline and determination, two things most people do not possess.
As the year winds down, and people reflect on all the good and the bad this year brought them, make sure you take time to be proud of yourself on your journey thus far. It’s not easy doing things that haven’t been done before. Trailblazing comes with its own set of cons I’m sure we all know a few things about. So if you’re reading this, that means that you are still standing strong, ready for whatever life is pitching next. That itself, is an accomplishment. BE PROUD OF YOU.
Success in life is about staying in the game, no matter what happens! You get out there and you keep swinging, every single day. You get knocked down today, you get back tomorrow because it’s another opportunity to get after it. You really don’t truly lose a chance to get after it until the day you close your eyes permanently. After that, there is no more pivoting, editing, or making any types of leaps (forward or back) in life. There is no more life. So you go out and get it while you are still here kicking and breathing oxygen. AND BE PROUD THAT YOU ARE DOING IT! Self improvement and change comes from within, and most of the time you have to be your own cheerleader.. It sucks but it is the truth. Being proud of your accomplishments is not enough, you have to be proud of your efforts as well. Even if you weren’t successful.
It’s a mental thing, if you’re happy that you showed up and did the work, then more than likely you will be okay with continuing to show up and do the work… eventually your consistent work will give way to accomplishing things. Approaching things with a negative attitude (not proud of your efforts and not wanting to do anything), will more than likely yield negative results. If you want to get things done, DO THEM AND BE PROUD OF YOURSELF FOR THE EFFORT THAT YOU PUT IN.
But also think, if you’re not proud of the path you are on, or you are not proud of your efforts… Are you really on the right path? That is something for you to decide. Until next time.
