Tough Times Don't Last, But Tough People Do

Tough times don't last, but tough people do. 

 

When it comes to tough times it is easy to get overwhelmed with what's going on in the moment.  How bad things are, how frustrated we are, how painful it is.  The reality is, everything passes.  Difficult times never stay difficult.  No matter what the situation is, the way we deal with it make the difference as to how we come out of it.  So, if you are going through a tough time, instead of focusing on how tough it is, focus on how tough you can be.  You'll get through it stronger.

 

AN OATH OF PERSEVERANCE:

1. I will never give up so long as I know I am right.
2. I will believe that all things work out for me if I hang on until the end.
3. I will be courageous and undismayed in the face of odds.
4. I will not permit anyone to intimidate me or deter me from my goals.
5. I will fight to overcome all physical limitations and setbacks.
6. I will try again and again and yet again to accomplish my dreams.
7. I will take new faith and resolution from the knowledge that all successful people have had to overcome defeat and adversity.
8. I will never surrender to discouragement or despair, no matter what.

 

"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.  Please remember that your difficulties do not define you.  They simply strengthen your ability to overcome." -Maya Angelou

 

Things don't necessarily get easier, we just change the impact or meaning by how we choose to deal with them...and through this we get stronger and wiser. Never give up, and always remain confident in what you do. Let the difficulties that you face make you more determined to achieve your objectives and win against the odds. After all, difficulties are just things to overcome. Make today a great day!
