There are going to be tough times in life. Can't get around it.

You know what though? You can't advance in life unless you get past challenges. And if you try to avoid hard things in life altogether? You're missing out on the good stuff. The character building things that turn you into the best version of yourself.

It's crazy to think that tough times are really just your mind coping with new situations. Situations that your mind often signals as dangerous when it's really not. Very few things in life are actually dangerous.

You know what's dangerous? Avoiding challenges in your life because you don't want to go through the work of pushing through. That turns into a life of regret. I promise you don't want that.
