“We all wait in life for things to get easier. Think in your own life if you’ve waited for something to get easier… oh, I just got to get through this and then it’ll be easy.. it’s what we do. We wait for stuff to get easier. It will never get easier. What happens is you handle hard better. It never gets easier.. you become someone that handles hard stuff better. That’s a mental shift that has to occur in each of (y)our brains. It has to shift.”
Kara Lawson, Duke Women’s Coach… from a pep talk for her team. To get inspired, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDzfZOfNki4
REFLECTION:
- Are you waiting for things to get easier?
- What experiences have you had where you “handled hard better?”
- Is there something happening in your life now that requires a mental shift to be able to handle it differently?
- Try on a mental shift.
