It has been a weird few weeks of weather. While the US shivers through the freezing temperatures, Australia is battling with road-melting heat. Niagara Falls has frozen over and sharks were frozen to death in the Atlantic; while hundreds of bats have died in a scorching heatwave in Australia as the soaring temperatures "fried their brains".
To be the best, you must be able to handle the worst.
In fact, the greater the degree of discomfort we experience, the greater the difficulty, the greater the sense of personal accomplishment that comes after.
Here's the deal: when it seems all is lost and all hope have long since vanished, relentlessness is the fuel that will drive us through.
All I do is focus on and deal with that's directly in front of me. I just put one foot in front of the other, taking things on as they present themselves. And I ultimately achieve my big, grand vision by taking one step at a time.
Relentlessness doesn't mean charging into the fray headfirst nor bashing your fist against a brick wall until it's bloody and bruised. It means using a hammer and chisel to slowly, methodically chip away piece by piece until eventually there's a hole. And then the hole gets bigger. And bigger. Until, you can step through into a whole new world.
Anyone who has gone to the gym knows that results aren't immediate. You don't spend an hour working out and look like a new person. But that doesn't mean what you're doing isn't working. It's the same thing with work or health or career or relationships.
My message is that no matter how difficult your life may become, no matter how hard it gets, there is always reason to keep on going and fighting because you can survive...and thrive.
