"We Do Hard Things"
I don't know where I heard it first, but it is my favorite quote of all time.
I want that to be our family motto this year because it applies to so many areas of our lives and helps us to keep a clear perspective.
There are hard things that just flat out need to be done.
There are hard things that we are forced to do.
There are hard things we do just because they are right.
Some hard things are to be done because we will be better and stronger when we do them.
It keeps us from feeling entitled to have it easy.
It reverberates in my head if it empties while I'm deep into a run and can't remember for the life of me why I'm so far from home.
No one is spared hard things in this life. What we are spared is going it alone if we prefer to have company. We spare the people near us if we approach things with a good spirit and gratitude.

I agree. It is a great motto! I like to pair it with some of my others, like "One day you will thank me", and "It builds character!"
I could not agree more. Out motto is "Bring it on". No running away and hiding. You always have to do the hard tings at somepoint, so you might as well get it done.
Thanks for the pep talk.
well said!
