Jim Rohn:

"Don't wish it was easier; wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems; wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenge; wish for more wisdom.” - Jim Rohn

What do you do when it gets hard? Do you put your head down, pout, make excuses, feel sorry for yourself, and run from the challenge?

Or do you put your head down and work, embrace the challenge, figure it out, and make yourself better?

Motivational speaker Jim Rohn once said, ‘Don't wish it was easier; wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems; wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenge; wish for more wisdom.”

Easy keeps you stuck where you are; hard is how you elevate to new levels.

Everything you really want is on the other side of hard.

When Jim was first learning about success, he said he had no money and blamed everybody for his failures. One of his mentors told him you receive what you attract. If you qualify for more, you will receive more. 

Pursuing your goals or greatness is supposed to be hard. Look around - it’s hard for everybody. The best just learn how to handle hard better by making themselves better, tougher, and more resilient. They don’t panic when it gets hard because they expect it. They know hard is how we grow.

What are you going to do when it gets hard?

Are you going to wish it were easier, or are you going to embrace the challenge and make yourself better?

Reflection Question: WHEN (not if) it gets hard, what are you going to do?
