I got a lot of questions on this topic today. I am not sure I understand why it’s so difficult to understand, but I will attempt to shed light on the subject as we go.
My grandma used to say this and other versions of the same thing to me. She said them without thinking, which makes me understand that it was drilled into her by her parents. The basic principle is hard work and perseverance are going to carry the day. Quitting isn’t going to get you out of any situation.
I got examples upon examples for this, but I feel like in my current situation I would call on this one. When you feel helpless in a situation work or personal you often have an urge to just give up and just concede or do nothing at all. I would like to submit that this is only a proper solution as a bridging measure. If you take time to really think about a situation you always have choices. You may be required to do something you don’t like, but you can control your response to it. You can resolve to be the best at what you have in front of you, but you are not tied to that job. You can do this job and be taking steps to change your situation into one you are engaged in and feel good about.
Life is going to throw you a curve ball, catch it and throw it back. Think about what you want and move your life in the direction you want to go. You may have obstacles, but you can still get where you want to go.
I still have this problem, but not as bad as I used to be. I used to get this picture in my head that determined how any one situation was going to work out. Then when it didn’t work out that way I was totally devastated and everything was ruined. I cannot predict the future as much as I would like to, so I have had to learn to accept what is and work with what I have. I can use the tools presented to me to get where I want to go, I don’t have to get there the way I envisioned it.
