You know what I’m talking about.
From the second your alarm clock screams into action, to every waking minute thereafter – it’s a relentless struggle. Maybe yesterday was one of those days and the stress, frustration and anguish linger fresh in the memory.

If today is one of those days, take a moment and remind yourself that...
You’ve come a long way
You’ve come a long way
Think of something you do better than anyone you know. It could be your ability to play a musical instrument or a sport in which you excelled at as a youngster. Maybe it’s something weird like completing a Rubik’s Cube in less than 30 seconds. Perhaps you earned a degree or taught yourself a second language.
It really doesn’t matter what you’re good at – you had to start somewhere, and when you did, you probably sucked. An athlete must take that first step. A guitarist must learn their first chord. A millionaire must earn their first dollar.
So what if you’ve hit a brick wall with your development – you’ve hit many in the past and you have a proven track record of pushing forwards. Today is just another learning curve towards your goal.
Pain is only temporary – you’ve been through worse
Pain, whether physical or mental, is something we all go through. It’s inevitable – and it hurts like hell. What you may not have realised is your reaction to pain is entirely up to you.
Of course you’d rather be somewhere else, perhaps in another body, experiencing anything other than what you’re currently going through – but why resist? Doing so is going to increase the hurt and the frustration. Accept the situation. The quicker you embrace the pain – the easier it will be to cope with.
Each minute that passes is a minute closer to success
The clock is ticking.
Time moves forwards whatever you choose to with it. We all deal with time in our own way. The trick is to embrace its inevitability. If time keeps moving forwards isn’t it a good idea hop along for the ride?
The future ‘you’ can be good or bad, happy or sad or anything else you choose to be. The present day may be tough. You may not be seeing the reward for your hard work right now – but don’t stop.
Every journey has a destination. Just remember to give yourself a pat on the back when you get there.
