Inevitably along your journey pursuing the goals you are working toward you will encounter a roadblock or set back.

This can be illness, injury, funding, time, the list goes on. It is easy and expected to give up when these obstacles occur.

There is a Chinese proverb that states “the temptation to quit will be greatest just before you succeed.” But if you can just hold on and tell yourself to keep going, pushing through and finding the solutions needed, even if it takes multiple tries, you will eventually come out on the other side.

The key is never allowing yourself to give up and having the hope and resolve that you will succeed. Remind yourself of the moments that you felt like giving up but because you didn’t, you conquered. You managed to get through those moments and this time is no different.

Stay strong, the sun always rises.
