It's all hard - Choose the hard that aligns with where you're going
Everyday we are faced with that fork in the road of choosing the easy path or the hard path. We come to it time and time again. The easy path is attractive and it calls out to us by making us believe that it will create more time and space in our lives. But do we really believe that to be true?
Tiffany comes to us this week with a short but power-packed reminder that there is rarely an "easy" path (and usually the easy is an illusion). It's all hard, so choose your hard. Choose the path that aligns with who you are striving to be. Is it difficult? Yes. Is it worth it? Every single time. Listen in to be inspired to choose your hard and live your Life of And to the fullest.

Hey, this is your weekly reminder to choose your hard. Literally everything is hard. If you see me speak, you will hear me talk about this because it was a huge unlock for me when I realized, you know what? Everything is hard being fit. It's hard being uncomfortable in your body. It's super hard having a messy house. It's hard having a clean house. It's hard. Having a shitty marriage? Super hard. Putting the work in to have a good marriage? Super hard. Bitterness? Hard. Forgiveness? Hard. literally, it's all hard. Getting up early? Hard. Sleeping in and feeling guilty? Hard. Like, everything is hard. This is your weekly reminder to choose your hard. Choose the hard that aligns with the places you want to go, the things you want to do, who you want to become, the good you want to place into the world. do not trick yourself into believing that the, like, easy path, I'm putting air quotes, it's a temporary path. It's taking you away from the person you want to be, the person you're supposed to be, the gifts you're supposed to deploy into this world.Like, stop it. Stop it. Choose your heart, pick the thing that is going to make you become.I was at an event last night and this young girl was talking about some early career experiences and she was talking about how she'd call her dad and just be balling. And he said, great sailors were not made in calm seas. The point is friction is what helps us become friction is what helps us go to the next level and when you become a weenie and you don't fight through and you don't pick the hard that aligns with what you're becoming, you're selling out on yourself. Don't do it. Don't do it. I'm not. I'm going to choose hard this week. I'm going to choose the hard that's aligning with who I'm becoming. and I'm telling you every single time you do, that muscle gets more and more muscle memory, that muscle gets stronger, and each time you do it, it becomes easier. I promise you.And remember, your kids and your people are watching. When you choose hard, the hard that aligns with where you're going, they will too.
