Hardship

So, here you are. You have made it through tough challenges to get to this point. I know it's been hard. You have probably cried and if you haven't you probably will. That's fine. You expected this. It will be harder yet.

Keep going. Go even when it feels as though you can't go any further. Keep going. You can. Remember you can.
What brought you here, to right now? Think about it. It's a desire. It's a yearning for change that you have made happen. Others say, "I must stop." You say, "I will not stop!" Say it now.
You are strong. Feel your strength. Grab it and hold it close to you. You need it now. This is about you and only you. It's not about money, loss, or love. It's about you and your strength. You are strong. Pain is temporary. Satisfaction, triumph, and power of will are forever.
You got this.

The journey of a thousand miles starts from beneath your feet.  - Tao Te Ching
