This is what hard feels like.

I love this line: This is what hard feels like.

Many people quit when it begins to feel hard. This choice of consistency and of future-thinking is what leaders are made of. This one line gives you the space to breathe, acknowledge that what you’re doing is hard, and then re-focus on the prize and get to work.

One day at a time.

Add whatever ending feels right in the moment:

This is what hard feels like- and I can do hard things.

This is what hard feels like - and I am getting closer with each step I take.

This is what hard feels like- and it’s okay.

This is what hard feels like- and it won’t always feel this way.

What are you taking on that feels hard? What have you opted out of? Are you satisfied with your effort?
