Get Back Up Again

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

One of the things that's consistent about the most successful humans to have ever walked the planet isn't skill, family connections (some might disagree), talent, or even courage to try new things.

​
It's a strong sense of resilience that demands results.

​
What marks resilience is the ability to get back up again. After a failure, distraction, disappointment, hurt, or just a loooong day that feels like it will never end.

​
That’s something you need to become the next or better version of yourself.

​
You know what your priorities are and what you need to do, but it can get really hard to push through when you fall or fail.

​
That’s why you need to learn to get back up again. One way to build this habit with important things is by giving yourself no alternatives. “I will win at this, period.”

​
For instance, I can't imagine not being a writer. Researching, reading, writing, and editing are part of my daily routine. When I slack or get discouraged, I still get back up again.

​
I pray for wisdom and strength, I share struggles with friends, but I always keep pushing because it's a top priority for me.

​
So if there's something that means a lot to you, a spark God has placed in your heart that you want to share with the world, make one decision today.👇

​
“No matter how hard it is or how many times I fail, I will get back up again, and I will continue until I win. And even after I win, I'll continue until I can't anymore.”

​
Sounds extreme?

​
I'm telling you. That's the exact mindset you need.😅

​
Alright, that'll be all for now, until next Friday.

​
Light & Increase,

Osose Christabel.

Something to think about: Have you spent too much time away from something important? (Get back up again!☺️)

Hi Reader! People are always quick to point out how important discipline is and how motivation is overrated. I argue that motivation is the first step to becoming more disciplined. You need a clear picture in your mind of what you desire, so much that you're willing to endure the disciplines it'll take to materialize that image. Humans don't just embrace discipline. We're motivated by so many things, and I believe it's important to examine our motivations to understand what's really driving...

Hi Reader! One thought that has consumed my mind as I'm figuring out life and adulthood is the kind of person I want to be. How do I want people to remember their encounter with me? A few things come to mind, and I’ll highlight one today. Growing up, I've always been among the “smart and outgoing” kids. You know those kids who get decent grades, speak or perform confidently in public, write and memorize well. But in university, especially after graduating, I quickly realized that whatever I...

Hi Reader! We have all that we need to be 1% better today, and repeat tomorrow. We just dislike the idea of starting small, asking for help, looking scrappy and enduring the hard things. We want the posh appearance, the expensive gear, the mainstream mentors, the huge capital.. So when someone asks you why you haven't started yet. You have a lot to say. “I don't have money. I don't have a good camera. I can't afford the course. I'm not this, I'm not that..” We love pointing to all that we...
