Your future self of tomorrow is relying on the strength of your faith today. Will you pull through?
One of the most valuable assets you can have in life is mental toughness.
It allows you to handle the most difficult situations with grace and confidence. Without it, you would likely give up as soon as you detect any signs of discomfort. You would lose out on potential opportunities that could profoundly benefit you or others.
I would argue that mental toughness is another word for faith, because you are relying on the knowledge that you can endure enough difficulty to see brighter days, while actively preparing and positioning yourself to embrace more desirable circumstances.
Although it’s important to keep pushing forward, what will prove to be equally crucial throughout your life is knowing when to take a break from something and knowing when to pivot.
Many a time we feel restricted in life because we think we have no choice but to stick to doing something that doesn’t align with our purpose or passions.
This is when we should exercise our free will and lean into our ability to pivot.
Pivoting is making the decision to make use of your past experiences and transferrable skills in order to pursue a different endeavour.
You do this when the path you’re on no longer fits into the vision you have for your future.
Alternatively, when you are confident that your path is in alignment with your purpose, you may actually need a break instead of actually quitting or pivoting.
Sometimes it can help to give yourself another chance and restart the same endeavour from a different angle.
You always have options.
Even if all you do on those hard days is make it through to the next day, that is still forward movement.
The main focus is that you just keep going. No matter how many times you have to redefine what it means to ‘keep going’, do what you have to do.
You never know what good awaits around the next corner , and that should be enough for you to hang on to faith and persevere.
