I heard an inspiring quote from Marie Forleo, “Stay on your game, and keep pursuing your dreams. The world needs that special gift that you only have”.
We need to stay on our path with our goals and dreams no matter how difficult and frustrating it gets. There are always going to be bumps in the road.
If we stay with it long enough, naturally good things are going to happen.
I have been one to give up in the past, and I can tell you that giving up is never the answer. We have a tendency to start something new, stop, and start another new project and never get anywhere. This pattern can lead to regret, and regret is a very painful emotion. We never get to the finish line in this pattern.
I also had some great wins too, when I stuck with something and persevered. When I started running in middle school, I always finished in last place. Yet, I never gave up and as a result I improved my running. I started finishing races in the top three and even won some of these races.
We have to know that we cannot just focus on ourselves and that our dreams are not just for us. Our dreams are for our loved ones and for the world. By living our dream, we are serving others.
When we focus on serving others, we will be pulled into the direction of our dreams. We need to remember the world needs us.
