If you keep trying but things seem not to workout
This letter is for you
Dear Friend,
Life’s funny. You keep pushing forward, and you become somebody.
You quit? Well, you still become somebody... just not the somebody you were hoping for.
Every choice you make is shaping Future You.
Keep striving, and you’ll transform into a wiser, stronger, goal-crushing machine.
Quit, and you might end up binge-watching life from the sidelines, wondering what could’ve been (probably with an embarrassing snack habit).
Striving isn’t always glamorous.
Sometimes it’s just surviving Monday mornings or resisting the urge to throw your goals out the window when things get tough. But every small effort adds up—whether it's reading a book, taking a class, or simply not giving up when things get tricky.
Quitting?
Sure, it feels good in the moment—no more stress, no more effort, just sweet, sweet comfort. But here's the thing: comfort doesn’t lead to greatness (unless you’re aiming to become a professional couch potato).
So ask yourself—who do you want to be?
The version of you that powers through and achieves something incredible?
Or the version that wonders what if?
Remember, small steps count too. You don’t have to sprint, just keep moving forward. Progress is progress, even if it’s in baby steps (or awkward stumbles).
So, what’ll it be?
Keep going and be the hero of your own story, or quit and become the cautionary tale?
Choose wisely,
Your Friend:
