I had a conversation with a friend of mine the other day, she’s pursuing track and field. Any post-collegiate athlete in the sport knows, it is not an easy pursuit. She’s been bounced around from coach to coach, battled injury, and trying to make ends meet. If you aren’t top 10 in the world (sometimes even if you are) the chances of you getting funding/sponsorships are slim.
“Every other night I have a mental break down, but every day I bounce back,” She told me. “Last night I took an ‘L’ but tonight I bounce back,” She sang as she realized the tune she resembled.
Life, bills, family circumstances, and other responsibilities don’t stop just because you’re a broke dream chaser. Her mindset of bouncing back is inspiring. She feels the hit as any of us would, but she doesn’t sit and wallow in it. She allows these hard times to make her stronger.
Sometimes it feels like you’re doing everything you can, yet life keeps coming at you. Like life’s sole goal is to knock you back down. It’s tough to stay positive, to keep going, but I know you can do it. You wouldn’t have been put on this mission if you couldn’t handle it. GOD’S got you. I promise.
You will bounce back, no matter how low you feel. Each day, the sun rises and brings with it new hope. New purpose. New motivation. Let the light of the world rush in and ignite the flame of determination within you. It’s Monday, and this day is YOURS.
With all the love I own,
