It seems to be rather easy to give up at a time like this, sometimes. I mean nothing stays the same. The times have changed again and quite frankly we are in an absolutely weird place of existence right now. It’s weird that everyone is wearing masks, stores and establishments have limits on the amount of people who can enter. It’s crazy that there’s a new strand of COVID every few months. It’s weird that the states are trying to pay people to take a vaccine. I mean the list goes on!
I say all that to say, there’s nothing that is constant at this moment. So, when things aren’t working properly, don’t give up. Change the plan but don’t change the goal. It may seem hard. But change the plan. Don’t change the goal.
Keep your goals ahead of you. It’s perfectly okay that you get thrown off a bit. It’s okay that you’re under pressure. It’s okay that things aren’t working the way you imagined it to. It’s okay!
Obstacles simply give you opportunities to grow. They test and build your character. Obstacles make you wiser and stronger. They give you courage once you accomplish the task at hand.
It feels good to knock out the goals that you set for yourself. In one way or another, it’s motivating. It makes your want to do more. So what, what you thought was going to happen, didn’t. No biggie. Sometime you just have to change the plan but not the goal.
Don’t give up! Don’t give in! If it’s not working, change the plan and never the goal.
