Let’s get straight to the point: life’s hard. It’s going to hit you over and over again. And yeah, you’re gonna eat shit. It’s unavoidable. You either learn to digest it, or you let it break you.
I know because I’ve been there. When my dad died, I gave up. I went into survival mode for three years, this past three years. I wasn’t living—I was just getting by, hoping things would change on their own. But they didn’t, they never did. Life doesn’t work that way.
After three years, I realized this: I didn’t want to just survive anymore. I’m done feeling stuck, done waiting for life to get easier. I had to face the hard stuff head-on. And let me tell you, it’s not easy.
Look, I’m not standing here pretending I’ve got it all figured out. I’m still in the middle of this journey. Every day, I have to remind myself not to quit. I’m now learning how to turn the shit life throws at me into something that fuels me instead of stopping me.
In work, you might give your best effort, and still fail. Clients don’t land, deadlines get missed, and your boss criticize you. You can’t control everything, but you can control how you respond. You either let that failure cripple you, or you get up, adjust, and hit back harder.
In relationships, it’s no different. Whether it’s family, friends, or your partner, you’re going to hit rough patches—arguments, distance, misunderstandings. But the easy option is walking away or blaming the other person. The real growth comes when you stop avoiding the tough conversations, put in the work, and come out stronger on the other side.
I’m not just telling you this—I’m living it. I gave up once, and I don’t want to go back to that place. I’m learning how to push through, and I want you to walk this journey with me.
“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.” — Bruce Lee
This is not about being tough all the time. It’s about deciding not to stay down. It’s about learning to take the hits, digest the pain, and turn it into strength.
So, let’s stop running from the hard stuff. Stop avoiding the pain. Learn to digest it. Grow from it. That’s what I’m trying to do. If you’re ready to do the same, let’s walk this path together.
Because you can handle this. We all can. But it starts with a choice: Are you going to let the shit break you, or are you going to learn how to digest it?
See you tomorrow.
