When things are good confidence is easy.
It’s when nothing feels right that our resilience is tested.
We have to dig deeper.
A baby who goes to sleep easy teaches us nothing about how to be a parent.
A baby that refuses to sleep and fusses no matter what we do forces us to persevere, problem solve, manage our basest impulses, and evolve.
You have to keep trying. Especially when people are relying on you. Resignation is not an option.
We can all appreciate when the living and doing is easy. But sticking it out through the tumult and turmoil that is life is where we define ourselves.
