Hard doesn't mean impossible

Have you ever come across a situation that seemed impossible and you wanted to throw in the towel?

I know I have. There've been times when it seems like every turn led to another brick wall, and the only option was to give up. But then, somehow, I made it through.

Then there are those situations where you feel like you made such a mess of things that you just wanted to curl up and die. You feel like the whole world is mocking you and laughing at you, and nothing is ever going to work out.

Whenever you find yourself in that situation, stay calm and focused. Don't worry about the things that are beyond your control. Work on what you can handle and just keep putting one foot in front of the other. I can guarantee that in a year or so you'll be looking back and wondering what all the fuss was about.

Out of those difficult challenges will come your greatest growth. Gold has to be refined in the fire, and so does character. As you go through your fires you will learn lessons that will allow you to become wiser, stronger and smarter than you ever imagined. You will become a much better version of yourself and accomplish far more than you could when you were living on easy street. So, my friend, keep going. You've got this!
