It’s a challenge to please everyone and navigate life’s obstacles. We recognize that most achievements demand effort and standing alone at times.
For champions in any arena, success hinges on sacrifice and the unwavering commitment of self-discipline.
Success demands hard and smart work. The path of least resistance rarely leads to achievement. Choosing the more challenging route is often vital for unlocking one's God-given potential.
The phrase "Choose Your Hard" currently resonates in our culture, and while trends may fade, its significance endures.
"Choose your hard" empowers us to confront tough daily choices.
Concise proverbs often convey powerful lessons, while too much verbiage can dilute the message. I’ll share short maxims that reflect this idea.
While these may not fit every situation, their truths generally hold firm.
Choose Your Hard:
Working out in bad weather is hard. Losing fitness and starting over is even more challenging. Choose your hard.
Sticking to a fitness and health plan is hard. Being unhealthy and facing the consequences later is hard. Choose your hard.
Being a leader and resisting peer pressure is difficult. So is giving up on your God-given potential because of it. Choose your hard.
Raising the bar on improvement is hard. Remaining stagnant is hard. Choose your hard.
Getting good grades is hard. Failing classes is hard. Choose your hard.
Going all out to fulfill your God-given potential is hard. Giving less than your best is hard. Choose your hard.
Eating well is hard. Living an unhealthy life is hard and has consequences. Choose your hard.
Getting sleep is hard. Not recovering well is hard. Choose your hard.
Stretching is hard. Dealing with injury is hard. Choose your hard.
Positive change is hard. Staying the same is hard. Choose your hard.
Communicating what others need to hear is hard. Avoiding the truth is hard. Choose your hard.
Embrace the path that reflects your love for God and others and leads you to your potential. Popular choices may not be the right ones, and while critics may speak, they don't control your destiny. It's those who pursue their true calling and make wise choices who prevail. Let your journey align with your deepest values and God's word.
As I close this post, a timeless song from my childhood resonates deeply: "You can’t please everyone, so you must please yourself." This powerful message underscores the importance of staying true to your highest values and making the right choices, even when challenging.
Embrace the challenges that uplift you and support others for the greater good. Choose to do what is right, even when it means taking the path less traveled.
When you dare to break through the status quo, your choices have the power to profoundly impact you and those around you now and forever.
Blessings,
