Recognize That Challenges Mean Growth
If things feel tough, you’re growing. Progress happens in the struggle, not the easy moments.
Train Your Mind Like a Muscle
Perseverance, like physical strength, comes from repeated effort. The more you push through discomfort, the stronger you become.
Check Your Perspective Before Quitting
Ask yourself: Am I seeing this situation clearly, or are my emotions distorting my view? Seek wisdom beyond your feelings.
