Thought for Today, October 20, 2023


Success can be hard, giving up will be harder.


Success isn't always about the glitz and the glamour. More often than not, it's about the grind—the long hours, the setbacks, the moments of doubt. It's about pushing through when the world seems to be saying, "Maybe this isn't for you." But here's the kicker: while the journey to success can be hard, the weight of regret from giving up is even heavier. It's that nagging feeling of "what if" that can haunt you for a lifetime.


Picture this: you're climbing a mountain. The path is steep, the weather is unpredictable, and sometimes you slip a few steps back. But every time you consider giving up, think about the descent. Going back down might seem like the easier route, but with every step, you're reminded of the peak you didn't reach. The views you didn't see. The accomplishment you didn't feel. That descent, in many ways, can be harder than the climb itself.


So, when the going gets tough, and you're tempted to throw in the towel, remember this: Success is a journey, not a destination. And while the path to it can be grueling, the path away from it carries its own set of challenges—the weight of unfulfilled potential, the sting of missed opportunities. Embrace the struggle, learn from the setbacks, and always keep your eyes on the prize. Because success might be hard, but the thought of giving up? That's even harder.
