Hard Is Not Bad
Today, I want to share a simple statement that has transformed the way I approach difficulty: “hard is not bad.”
I've always been into challenges; they get me excited! However, when something is hard, it's a different story. I don't sign up for hard things the way I do for challenges—it just comes my way, often unwelcomed.
Hard situations tend to make me feel overwhelmed, inadequate, and discouraged. (That's why I'm not a big fan of video games 😂—I hardly ever win. The first few levels are great, and then it gets hard.)
Can you relate?
But here's the reminder: When I find myself feeling this way, I tell myself that "hard is not bad."
So today, I'm sharing this phrase with you, hoping it frees you from the burden of difficulty and serves as a reminder that you've got what it takes. Some things simply require a little more effort than others.
Cheers to facing the "hard" with confidence!
