At some point in everyone’s life, we all try to accomplish our goals. Whether it’s cleaning the house as spring approaches, losing a few pounds before summer starts, or joining a new team; we all experience the hardships that come along with them. Our goals of course are not made easy, but some take more perseverance than ever expected

The hardships we face seem endless at times. The path we chose to hike is seemingly endless with infinite rocks in the way, dips in the ground, and hills the size of elephants. The only way to make it through each obstacle is to put your head down and get to work. By creating scapegoats for our failures and generating excuses for things that are more difficult, we only hurt and weaken ourselves.

The only way to make it through and accomplish your goal is simple; fight hard and don’t quit. Life will throw you endless curve balls, but if you don’t stick it out you will regret not finishing what you had started. We give ourselves goals for a reason- we want to accomplish something, and more often than not it’s meant to better ourselves. If you give in to the at times tempting easy way out, you will never know how sweet victory tastes.

Of course the end result is only as good as you make it, so if you are willing enough to make sacrifices that at the time seem like the end of the world, the end result will be the best feeling in the world. Never quit on something that you put your mind to, the celebration of accomplishing your goal is intoxicating; so rest if you must but don’t you quit.
