Move Up | Darien

It always seems impossible until it’s done.

One of my very best friends taught me a valuable lesson about discipline and perseverance. She had gone through many difficulties in life and it had brought her into a place where she cultivated many bad habits. She divulged her stresses into food and her weight ballooned drastically.

Once she had a wake-up call, she decided it was to change her lifestyle for the better. I remember asking her about her journey and she said there were many, many moments when she wanted to give up.

She said that she was easily discouraged because it felt like results weren’t happening and it didn’t seem possible for her to reach her goals. But she explained that sometimes, you almost have to forget about your insecurities and push past your worries, and focus on what you have to do. One year later, she had completely transformed, body and mind, and she became a new person.

If you are trying to reach a personal or professional goal and it doesn’t seem like you’re getting anywhere, remember to trust the process. Focus on what you need to do and your feelings will follow eventually. Keep moving.
