When doubt starts to set in, remember why you started in the first place. It’s inevitable to feel like you’re going nowhere, but when you take a moment to reflect back on how far you have come, you will see that you are making headway.
Resistance is always present when you’re moving forward. If your “why” is compelling enough you will be able to push through. Resistance helps to build your endurance muscles.

Everyone is a critic. We choose what we like and what we don’t like every moment of each day.
The hardest thing to do is to simply get started in whatever you want to do. Often we feel like we have to do everything “just right” in order to start, but that’s not often the case. The more you work on whatever you do, the better it gets over time. Remember that most of us learned to ride a bike with training wheels and as we got better, the wheels eventually came off. When you wish to start something new, it’s okay to use training wheels.

There are days when you will feel like you are headed backwards. It’s on days that those when our faith has to carry us along. You have to know that whatever purpose or meaning to what you are do IS working it’s magic behind the scenes. You will not always see the results you want to see. Also remember, if whatever you are compelled to do in life was easy, everyone would do it!

Look for ways to get around the obstacles to your success. The great thing about an obstacle in life is that you can get around them and/or learn from them. If you are focused and determined to achieve a specific goal in, an obstacle is just a speed bump, a detour or a delay. There is nothing that can stop a determined soul.

There is construction on a bridge in the area that is causing residents to find alternate routes to get around a heavily traveled road. At first, it seemed like a huge inconvenience but now feels pretty routine. We just have to plan ahead to get around the construction.
Life will always have “unexpected detours”. Look for alternate routes and keep moving. You will still reach your destination.

Surround yourself with people who keep you motivated and focused. We all have times when we just don’t feel like we can keep going. Having a strong “why” is important and so is having a strong support system in place as well. No man is an island so don’t think you have to go this journey alone.
