I hate to admit that I've given up way too many times, and a few times, on some very big dreams. Those losses were heartbreaking. And other times, I've dug in my claws and held on...and accomplished more than I thought possible. I used to think of myself as someone who gave up too easily. But as I get older (and hopefully wiser), I'm choosing to reframe my thoughts and look back at my past accomplishments instead. When I consider them, I realize that I've got some pretty strong claws. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e We all go through ups and downs in our motivation and determination; that's normal.

No matter how many times you've fallen, the choice is yours. So hang in there my friend. Keep going.

Yet, I do it anyway. Why? I like having a list of goals to keep my mind on track. I like the opportunity to get better at something, learn new things, or stop doing something completely. It's like opening a door you hope to walk through. However, sometimes I don't always go through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thing is: we set a lot of goals that we want to accomplish but don't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes, that's okay.

I hate to admit that I've given up way too many times, and a few times, on some very big dreams. Those losses were heartbreaking. And other times, I've dug in my claws and held on...and accomplished more than I thought possible. I used to think of myself as someone who gave up too easily. But as I get older (and hopefully wiser), I'm choosing to reframe my thoughts and look back at my past accomplishments instead. When I consider them, I realize that I've got some pretty strong claws. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e We all go through ups and downs in our motivation and determination; that's normal. But when life is pulling you down so incredibly hard, what do you do? Do you look down like me, tempted to let go? Or do you look up and dig in? The good thing is, we can choose. No matter how many times you've fallen, the choice is yours. So hang in there my friend. Keep going.
