Two options

Tuesday, February 25
Overcome or Give up.
Those are your options with the problem in front of you, the adversity in front of you, the situation in front of you, the skill gap in front of you.
You can show up. And keep showing up. And keep showing up. Until you overcome the obstacle, conquer the adversity, grow in the skill. It will require falling on your face (maybe multiple times) and getting back up.
Or you can give up. You can say it’s too much, that you can’t handle it.
Here’s what I know, though. You can handle far more than you think you can. You’re much stronger than you think you are. And whatever choice you make today, it will be easier to make that choice the next time. Meaning, overcoming today makes overcoming the next time easier. Giving up today makes giving up the next time easier. We become what we practice.
Don’t let tomorrow you regret today’s effort.
Keep chopping wood. 🪵🪓
