Nothing worth having comes easy

I haven’t been blogging much lately because I’ve fallen back into my old patterns of definitely not getting things done. Which is bad and needs to change. There are so many things in my life that I want to do before I die, but the change required to accomplish these things terrifies me.

I’m scared I’ll be making a mistake and/or scared that I’ll fail. But even when I think about potential worst-case scenarios, I know rationally that things really aren’t that bad, because so far in my life I’ve been extremely lucky and have had very fortunate circumstances.

One of my biggest work-life hurdles is that I get discouraged easily. When things get hard or don’t turn out the way I want or expect them to, I shut down and give up. Maybe because I am lazy, or maybe because I’m insecure, but either way I need to learn to work harder, because nothing worth having comes easy. Whether it’s a job, career, a project, or an opportunity, if I give up, I definitely will not be successful.

So, this is just a little reminder to myself: work harder, don’t give up!
