Did you ever have one of those moments like you are floating over your own body?
Like it’s so bad that your wondering if it’s actually happening?
Andrew Engle and I have had TWO of those moments together, the kind of life altering bad moments that shake you to your core. We’ve been standing together for two and a LOAD MORE really bad times. Some people look at our relationship and say “omg you’re so lucky” and I just got a message that said I didn’t know what it was like to struggle with my spouse – HAHAHAHA! We’ve been through death, layoffs, debt, near bankruptcy, families not speaking with us not supporting us, 4 moves, 4 career changes, and so much more. We have this relationship BECAUSE of those times.
BUT THEN there are moments like this one, that kinda sorta bring a tear to my eye. And it got me thinking about COMMITMENTS like marriage. You AGREE that no matter what through the bad parts, good parts, hard parts, joyful parts — YOU STICK IT OUT.
Somewhere along the lines we have forgotten that to GET to the good happy tears kind of moments we HAVE TO WORK and go through the bad. Whether it’s health, fitness, business, you HAVE TO WEATHER THE STORMS to get to the happy. You can’t BAIL when things are hard, that’s how good people are MADE. That’s how good relationships, good businesses, good lives are made.
Want the good stuff? You gotta get through the bad FIRST! Don’t ever make the mistake of looking at a champion and thinking it was always easy. They justchose to keep going and not get caught up in comparison.
