When you want to move forward in your career or in life you will encounter a large volume of resistance. Your old habits, life circumstances or people will hold you back, pulling you away from your dreams like an industrial elastic band.
Many of you are feeling pulled down and defeated but you can’t give up or give in. If it was easy everyone would be successful! If the challenges of life are pulling you back, you are going to have to make a decision; you can surrender to the resistance or you can fight your way through.
If you are truly serious and you have a deep desire to succeed, you’ll go all out to make it happen. Push through the resistance and the pain. You’re going to have to go all out to harness your will. Evaluate your situation, then focus on developing yourself. Use your positive productive habits to pull yourself forward.
No matter what, you’ve got to make it happen. So, if you’re tired, turn your run to the “finish line of success” to a walk, or even a crawl. Keep your eyes on the finish line and do whatever you have to do to get there because this is your dream and you need to succeed. Only your good habits will enable to move your forward in your career or life.
Success is about developing and sticking with your positive productive habits. After talking to my coach and mentor about my struggles in getting ahead and always feeling there is not enough time in the day to get things accomplished, he suggested I get up earlier to work my plan. I won’t lie to you, it was a struggle but I was finally able to consistently get myself up at 5:30 a.m. every morning instead of my usual 7:00 a.m. By doing so I am getting more accomplished each day, which makes me feel more empowered. The age old saying, “The early bird gets the worm,” is very true.
Yes, you may be tired and exhausted but if you truly want to get ahead in your career and in life, fight through the pain. Remember, if you are starting to feel tired and you want to give up, don’t stop! Turn your run to a walk or a crawl if you have to. Keep on going until you reach your final destination because you’re worth it!
I know you can and yes you can succeed!
This reminds me of a quote: 
What habits do you have that move you past your breaking point? What do you do to keep going?
Share with me, I want to know.
