Rough days

Yesterday was a rough day for me. I had unrealistic expectations. I thought it would be easy. I thought it would be quick.

Unfortunately it took longer than I thought and the results weren’t what I thought it would be.

 

We all have them. We can’t avoid them. We have to be prepared for them. 

 

We have to persist in spite of them.

 

Sometimes things won’t go our way. We have to learn to keep going.

 

We can express our disappointment but then figure out what the next step is and keep going.

 

The point is to learn from life. What can I learn from this? Can I keep this from happening again? What do I need to change?

 

You can do this. You can make it. You can do anything you put your mind to do.

 

Reflect on the day and then figure out what happened. Figure what you can do to keep it from happening again.

 

Then move forward.

 

Rough days make us stronger and wiser (if we pay attention to them).

 

Rough days can be humbling in which case there is something we need to pay attention to. 

 

Rough days make tough people if they don’t let it take us out. We can make it. We were meant for more.

 

Take some time today and reflect on your rough days and what you need to do next.
