Love The Struggle
Winning isn’t always easy.
That’s one of the reasons why people enjoy watching sports. 🏈 ⛳ ⚾
The season is a grind.
It’s a reminder that there is something to be gained from learning to love the struggle.
It’s also why people are so captivated by a good movie with an even better villain.
We want the hero to win, but winning isn’t always easy.
We learn to love the hero's struggle, and when they finally defeat the villain, success is that much sweeter.🫣🙌
The hard part? Keeping your emotions in check along the way, controlling your thoughts, reactions, and ability to stay focused when things aren’t going your way.
As Tim Grover states in his book "Winning,"
“Winners do not make emotional decisions—they make strategic ones. Winning isn't always clean or pretty. You’ll face criticism, self-doubt, fear, and still have to show up and perform.”
In other words, the struggle is real sometimes, but learning to embrace the struggle means choosing to grow.💪🪴
Choosing to grow means you keep trying because, eventually, you will have a breakthrough, and that breakthrough will be worth it.
Chasing that next win and overcoming challenges will show you that there is always another level to reach or something new to learn.
Many top athletes stay at their best because they are lifelong learners, and they know there is always more to learn, and through this learning, they remain humble.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed today, remember that you’re not alone.
Try to make the best of the situation, and take the opportunity to learn from it and find ways to appreciate the journey. 🙏
