When faced with something difficult, it often feels easier to quit than it does to keep working towards our goal.
We use our struggles as proof of our inadequacy.
We tell ourselves that the task at hand must be challenging because we’re weak and incapable.
And we decide that there’s no point in trying because we probably won’t make it anyway.
But we forget that nothing worth having comes easy.
We forget that change doesn’t happen overnight.
It takes time and patience and dedication.
It takes not giving up no matter how dark our road becomes.
Instead of looking at how far you still have to go, start recognizing how far you’ve already come.
Start giving yourself credit for the work that you’ve done to get to the place you’re at.
Know that your struggles don’t discount your progress.
They’re proof of your strength and courage.
And they’re evidence that you’re trying.
Don’t give up before you’ve even given yourself a fighting chance.
Just because things are difficult now doesn’t mean you’ll be struggling forever.
You’ve survived everything up to the present moment—you can survive this too.
You can make it.
You just have to believe in yourself.
You have to refuse to give up.
