Just Say Yes to Tough Times
I know you’ve heard the saying, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Say that three times fast. Ha! In other words, when things get hard, when tough times come, you have to be tougher! It’s similar to the saying: “If you can’t take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.” Guess what? You CAN take the heat. You can endure the tough times. You are strong enough. You have what it takes inside yourself. You might not feel like it. You might need to be reminded. But you do.
The tough times are only for a season
A few years back, right before my wedding day, I was going thru some issues. They weren’t crazy horrible, life altering issues, but in that moment, they seemed huge. I received a certified letter from my brand new neighbor threatening me with a lawsuit if I didn’t chop down a tree in my back yard that she felt was leaning towards her house. I was days away from my wedding and a European honeymoon. I had a list a mile long and that tree didn’t make the cut (no pun intended 🙂 ). I was overwhelmed and stressed and frantic. I had a friend stop me and ask, “Will this matter five years from now?” In that moment, I was reminded that I WOULD get thru it..that it wasn’t THAT big of a deal..that I was stressing more than necessary..and NO, it WOULDN’T matter 5 years from now (or even five months from then, really). So I want to encourage you. If you are currently struggling, the tough times won’t last. But tough people will and you are tough. Find your fight and make it thru.
