If You Looked At Challenges Differently
Happy Friday,
When a car is parked, it doesn’t have to deal with potholes or get stuck in traffic. But, if the car is not moving, it’s not going anywhere.
When you’re facing challenges in life, it can feel like you’re stuck in a traffic jam or hitting potholes on a long road trip. It’s easy to get discouraged and feel like you’re not making progress.
But what if we looked at these challenges differently?
Think about it.
When you’re not facing any challenges, it might feel comfortable, but you’re not making any progress.
Like the car, if you are not moving, you’re going nowhere.
The motion of the car represents progress in life. When we’re moving forward, we’re making progress. But, if we get stuck in one place, we’re not going anywhere.
The challenges you face are like the potholes and traffic jams a car encounters. They are a sign of progress. They might be difficult to navigate, but they’re a sign that you’re moving forward and going somewhere.
Therefore you have got to keep your eyes on the road.
When a car is stuck in traffic, the driver can’t control the traffic, but they can control their own reactions. They can choose to stay calm, patient, and focused on where they are going.
When you’re facing challenges, you can’t control the obstacles, but you can control how you react to them. You can choose to keep your eyes on your goals and stay focused on what you can control.
But some challenges call for a detour.
Just like a car may need to find a way around deep potholes, we may need to find a way to overcome the challenges we face.
And with each challenge you overcome, you become more confident that you can overcome other challenges in the future.
So today, if it feels like you are going through hell, keep going because you are going somewhere. The only way out is through it.
Don’t stop moving.
A car in motion will see places that a stagnant one would never see.
And you will see incredible places if you keep moving forward.
I will see to it.
