When the going gets tough…

I heard someone on the radio talking about how people often quit when things get too difficult. They use some idiom about how it wasn’t meant to be or it’s not the right time, etc. when in reality, it IS the right time, they just have to push through the tough parts.

This resonated with me, particularly at this time in my life when I’m working on finishing my thesis for my masters program, and completing a graduate certificate for my certification all while going to school, trying to get my fieldwork experience in, writing, trying to be the healthiest version of me, and so on and so on and so on. The end of my academic journey is so near, but it’s so much work! I’d never give up after getting so far, but when I heard that guy saying that stuff, I was like HECK YEAH!! Absolutely!! It always gets harder at the end. Look at those obstacle courses on the ninja warrior shows, they never have you finish on a downward slide, it’s always an uphill climb.

So yeah…something to think about.

One thought on “When the going gets tough…

  1. Never thought about how those ninja warriors finish the course going uphill……. interesting and also encouraging….. I admire you for many things, including your ability to successfully juggle so many things that are important to you
