Right After the First Big Failure
Because you just learnedĀ somethingĀ most people are too scared to confront.
Youāve lost. Youāve failed. MaybeĀ evenĀ embarrassed yourself. But this moment,Ā the oneĀ where shame and doubt creep in is where grit is born. The first failure is the gatekeeper. Keep going.
When the Applause Stops
Because external validation is fleeting.
Everyone loved yourĀ idea,Ā and was very supportive. But that wore off. Now itās justĀ you,Ā doing the work. Grinding.Ā Thisis where real thingsĀ are built. Keep going.
When YouāreĀ Being Ignored
Because silence isnāt the same as rejection.
Youāre talking, sharing, offering, and trying to lead. And no oneās responding. It feels like shouting into a void. But silence often precedes breakthrough. Keep going.
When Youāre Almost Done
Because quitting right before the finish line guarantees you never cross it.
The dip before the end is real. Fatigue shows up just as the breakthrough is near. Keep going.
When Youāre No Longer Sure Why You Started
Because rediscovery only happens mid-journey.
Youāve outgrown the original reason. Thatās normal. Thatās evolution.Ā WithoutĀ evolution,Ā there is no resilience or longevity.Ā The only way to find theĀ newĀ reason is to keep going.
