This Week’s Thoughts

Your heart hurts when you love someone.

Everything hurts when you lose someone.

I have been thinking a lot about how tough people push through pain.

Personal development coach, Dave Anderson told me once about how in the car on the way to a very important speaking engagement he found out that his brother had died…He made the decision that he had to push through the pain of the moment as nothing he could do then would have changed the situation and that he had made a commitment to his company that he was not going to break.

The level of pain he must have been feeling walking onto that stage would have to have been nearly unbearable, but his work was coaching and his clients in that moment had paid for his best and he was not going to let them down despite what was happening in his personal life.

I think we all have been hurt and endured pain throughout our life, and have been defined by our response to it.

I have lost so many family members, I have lost businesses, I have lost relationships…yet here I stand-progressing.

I have children and wife now that need me to be strong…What do you have in your life that needs you?

Thats where the pain can fuel you, and push you to rise up for them and keep talking steps forward to accomplish what you planned on day 1.

The problem with most entrepreneurs is they have choice: if it was a good week or a bad week- choice allows them to double down and go harder or give themselves an unearned break and believe that they can fill in the production gap next week.

Another way I heard this described is, entrepreneurs can say, “I just don’t feel like it” - Today is an off day, and tomorrow will be better, so I’ll nestle down in the couch and call this needed mental therapy.

The reality is, the only way we can get through a rut is to keep driving through it- no one accomplished anything staying stuck in the mud.

So whatever you are going through, pain, hurt, loss- Keep moving forward. Slow progress, is still progress.

You need you, and whoever is watching you needs you too- You give them hope for the better life you all want.

In the beginning of anything we need to believe in someone else’s belief in us, especially when we do not yet see it in ourselves.

Hurt. Stress. Pain. Growth.

You will get stronger.
