However, being at your lowest possible level can be a positive experience, in a way. It is an excellent opportunity to reinvent your life from scratch. When things cannot get any worse, it means that whatever you decide to do is going to be an improvement, the only way is UP! even if ever so slightly.

But, what exactly should you do to pick yourself up and begin taking control of your life again?

Rising from the Depths: What to Do When You Hit Rock Bottom

1. Start small and focus on one thing at a time

So, you are down at the deep end and have no idea how to get out or where to start. Some life coaches would suggest that you try to turn things around immediately, deciding to put every effort into changing your life this very minute and show the world a miraculous comeback. Don’t fall into this trap – in fact, it is about the worst thing you can do in this situation.

While it is possible to muster enough energy and determination to maintain this tempo for a little while, very few people are capable of changing their life in one fell swoop. By the way, this is the reason why most people fail at their New Year resolutions. Trying to change everything may sound like an alluring and motivating goal, but you will most likely run out of steam after a few days, your own inability to adhere to your new regimen will cause you to abandon it in its entirety, and this will plunge you deeper into depression.

Instead, focus on making small steps towards a single goal. When you hit rock bottom, improvement in any area of your life is welcome, and small successes will help you get used to achieving something, conditioning you for further progress.

2. Set achievable goals

Another tactic often recommended is visualizing your ideal life after you’ve achieved total success. Allegedly visualizing your success motivates you to move forward and apply effort towards achieving it. While it may work in some cases, it certainly isn’t so when you hit rock bottom. Imagining driving a Lamborghini, wearing a Rolex Cellini timepiece and owning a private island will be too jarring if your life is too far removed from this image. It won’t motivate you to try harder – on the contrary, subconsciously it will be a constant reminder that any effort on your part is doomed.

3. Reach out to other people

People going through a rough patch in their lives tend to either close in on themselves and avoid other people or drag them down with themselves, causing other people to avoid them. Both approaches are equally harmful. If you experience severe problems in your life, some help from outside may be exactly what you need. Sometimes it is not even direct help but inspiration and motivation you get from getting in touch with people who take an active part in life. Just make sure that your motivation for reaching out is to accept help and support and not to make others as miserable as you are now.

4. Find your motivation

It is often said that if you cannot achieve something, it means that you don’t have a strong enough “Why” – a reason for doing it, or “Ikigai,” as the Japanese call it (which is literally translated as “The reason to get up in the morning”).

What is your ultimate reason for being?

Why should you force yourself to try harder? Any effort you apply towards getting on your feet is likely to lose its momentum sooner or later if you don’t decide it for yourself.

Nobody wants to hit rock bottom. However, if you perceive it as an opportunity to hit reset and start things anew, it can be the beginning of a new, much more powerful period of your life.

Rick Rigsby was ready to give up, merely existing day to day.

But then he remembered the lessons his father taught him years before.

Dr. Rigsby recalled these lessons as he delivered a powerfully moving graduation speech at California State University Maritime Academy.

Rigsby spoke about his late father, who despite being a third grade dropout, was regarded as the smartest person that Rigsby knew.

Dr. Rigsby guides us through the practical knowledge that his late father shared with him, which guided him through the most difficult times of his life.

Lessons From A Third Grade Dropout | Dr. Rick Rigsby

Full Transcript | Speaker: Dr. Rick Rigsby

The wisest person I ever met in my life, a third grade dropout.

Wisest and dropout in the same sentence is rather moronic, like jumbo shrimp.. like fun run, ain’t nothing fun about it.. like Microsoft works, ya’ll don’t hear me. I used to say like country music but I’ve lived in Texas so long I love country music now, I hunt, I fish, I have cowboy boots, ya’ll im a blackneck redneck. Do you hear what I’m saying to you? No longer oxymoronic for me to say country music. And it’s not oxymoronic for me to say third grade and dropout.

That third grade dropout, the wisest person I ever met in my life, who taught me to combine knowledge and wisdom to make an impact, was my father.

A simple cook. Wisest man I ever met in my life. Just a simple cook. Left school in the third grade to help out on the family farm but just because he left school doesn’t mean his education stopped.

Mark Twain once said, “I’ve never allowed my schooling to get in the way of my education.”

My father taught himself how to read, taught himself how to write. Decided in the midst of Jim Crowism, as America was breathing the last gasp of the Civil War, my father decided he was going to stand and be a man, not a black man, not a brown man, not a white man, but a man.

He literally challenged himself to be the best that he could all the days of his life.

I have four degrees, my brother is a judge. We’re not the smartest ones in our family. It’s a third grade dropout daddy, a third grade dropout daddy who was quoting Michelangelo, saying to us, “Boys, I won’t have a problem if you aim high and miss but I’m going to have a real issue if you aim low and hit.”

A country mother quoting Henry Ford, saying, “If you think you can or if you think you can’t, you’re right.” I learned that from a third grade dropout, simple lessons. Lessons like these. “Son, you’d rather be an hour early than a minute late.” We never knew what time it was at my house ’cause the clocks were always ahead. My mother said for nearly 30 years, my father left the house at 3:45 in the morning. One day she asked him, “Why, Daddy?”

He said, “Maybe one of my boys will catch me in the act of excellence.”

I want to share two things with you, Aristotle said, you are what you repeatedly do therefore excellence ought to be a habit not an act. Don’t ever forget that.

I know you’re tough but always remember to be kind. Always. Don’t ever forget that. Never embarrass momma. Yeah if momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. If daddy ain’t happy, don’t nobody care but you know..

Next lesson, lesson from a cook over there in the galley. Son, make sure your servant’s towel is bigger than your ego.

Ego is the anaesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity. Ya’ll might have a relative in mind you want to send that to.

Let me say it again. Ego is the anaesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity. Pride is the burden of a foolish person.

John Wooden coached basketball in UCLA for a living but his calling was to impact people. And with all those national championships, guess what he was found doing in the middle of the week? Going into the cupboard, grabbing a broom and swiping his own gym floor.

You want to make an impact? Find your broom.

Every day of your life, you find your broom. You grow your influence that way. That way you’re attracting people so that you can impact them.

Final lesson. “Son, you’re going to do a job, do it right.” I’ve always been told how average I can be. Always been criticized about being average but I want to tell you something. I stand here before you, before all of these people not listening to those words but telling myself every single day to shoot for the stars, to be the best that I can be. Good enough isn’t good enough if it can be better. And better isn’t good enough if it can be best.

Let me close with a very personal story that I think will bring all this into focus.

Wisdom will come to you in the unlikeliest of sources. A lot of times through failure. When you hit rock bottom remember this, while you’re struggling, rock bottom can also be a great foundation on which to build and on which to grow. I’m not worried that you’ll be successful. I’m worried that you won’t fail from time to time.

A person that gets up off the canvas and keeps growing, thats the person that will continue to grow their influence.

Back in the 70’s, to help me make this point, let me introduce you to someone. I met the finest woman I’d ever met in my life. Back in my day we’d have called her a brick house. This woman was the finest woman I’d ever seen in my life. There’s just one little problem. Back then ladies didn’t like big old line men. The blindside hadn’t come out yet.. They liked quarterback and running backs.

We’re at this dance and I find out her name is Trina Williams from Lompoc, California.

We were all dancing and we’re just excited and I decide in the middle of dancing with her that I would ask her for her phone number. She, Trina was the first one, Trina was the only woman in college who gave me her real telephone number. The next day we walked to Baskin and Robbins ice cream parlor. My friends couldn’t believe it. This has been 40 years ago and my friends still can’t believe it. We go on a second date and a third date and a fourth date. We drive from Chico to Vallejo so that she could meet my parents. My father meets her. My daddy, my hero, he meets her, pulls me to the side and says, “Is she psycho?” But anyway..

We go together for a year, two years, threee years, four years by now Trina’s a senior in college. I’m still a freshman but I’m working some things out. I’m so glad I graduated in four terms. Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan.

So now it’s time to propose. So I talked her girlfriends and it’s California, it’s the ’70s. It has to be outside, have to have a candle and you have to have, some chocolate. Listen, I’m from the hood. I had a bottle of Boone’s Farm wine. That’s what I had.

She said yes!

She said yes! That was the key. I married the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen in my life, ya’ll ever been to a wedding  and even before the wedding starts you hear this.. “How in the world?” And it was coming from my side of the family!

We get married, we have a few children. Our lives are great.

One day Trina finds a lump in her left breast. Breast cancer.

Six years after that diagnosis, me and my two little boys walked up to mommy’s casket and for two years my heart didn’t beat.

If it wasn’t for my faith in God, I wouldn’t be standing here today. If it wasn’t for those two little boys, there’s of been no reason for which to go on. I was completely lost. That was rock bottom.

You know what sustained me? The wisdom of a third grade dropout. The wisdom of a simple cook.

We’re at the casket. I’d never seen my dad cry but this time I saw my dad cry.

That was his daughter. Trina was his daughter not his daughter-in-law. And I’m right behind my father about to see her for the last time on this Earth and my father shared three words with me that changed my life right there at the casket.

It would be the last lesson he would ever teach me.

He said “Son,

“Just stand. You keep standing. You keep standing. No matter how rough the sea, you keep standing.“

And I’m not talking about just water. “You keep standing. No matter what, you don’t give up.”

As clearly as I’m talking to you today, these were some of her last words to me. She looked me in the eye and she said, “It doesn’t matter to me any longer how long I live. What matters to me most, is how I live.”

I ask you all one question, a question that I was asked all my life by a third grade dropout. “How you livin’?” Every day ask yourself that question. How you livin’?

Here’s what a cook would suggest you to live, this way..

That you would not judge, that you would show up early, that you’d be kind, that you’d make sure that that servant’s towel is huge and used, that if you’re going to do something, you do it the right way.

That cook would tell you this, that it’s never wrong to do the right thing, that how you do anything is how you do everything.

And in that way you will grow your influence to make an impact.

In that way you will honor all those who have gone before you, who have invested in you.

Look in those unlikeliest places for wisdom. Enhance your life every day by seeking that wisdom and asking yourself every night.. “How am I living?”

He was set up for quite the comeback and finally made it complete by winning the final tournament of the PGA tour season.

Whether you love or hate golf, everyone knows the legend of Tiger Woods. He is to golf what Michael Jordan is to basketball. His dominance in the sport has transcended the game and made him into a worldwide star.

But after several surgeries, insane amounts of doubt from the media, and friends telling him to retire, things didn’t look good a year ago. For most people, this kind of crippling pain and criticism would have been too much to overcome.

But Tiger Woods isn’t most people. His comeback story shows that at 42-years-old, he is just getting started. If you’re in a slump or suffering in your life, I promise you can make a comeback too. 

3 Huge Life Lessons From Tiger Woods Epic Comeback

Never Give Up | Tiger Woods Comeback

As Vince Lombardi said, “Winners never quit and quitters never win.” And Tiger Woods didn’t quit, even when people were telling he was done. He kept pushing through failure, defeat, and insane amounts of physical pain to get back to the winner circle. After five years of managing injuries, he found a way to make it happen.

If you’re down and out you can’t give up. You can’t give in. You have to dig down deep and gut it out to find the drive to succeed. Find strong reasons why you must succeed and to commit to not giving up until you succeed. 

Let Doubt Fuel Your Mission | Tiger Woods Comeback

This video says it all:

Media personalities were literally telling Tiger Woods to quit golf. As you can see in the video he simply laughs it off. Because he refused to give up on the game that is his biggest passion in life.  

If you’re trying to do something great in your life, the more critics and doubt you’ll hear from others. Don’t let their doubt get you down. Remember, they are only saying that because they know they can’t do what you’re trying to do.

Don’t let people who have given up on their dreams make you give up on yours. Stay strong and let hate fuel your fire to succeed.

Always Find Joy in Your Life | Tiger Woods Comeback

Tiger was so banged up a year ago that he physically couldn’t get out of bed without excruciating pain. I’m sure when he was lying there in misery he couldn’t have guessed a year later he’d win the Tour Championship.

Now, when you hear him speak after tournaments he always talks about how much fun he’s having out there. He talks about how great it is to compete and do what he loves again.

He finds joy in the simple things like playing soccer with his kids or swinging a golf club in his backyard.  No matter what you’re going through in life, don’t get so focused on work and success that you forget the little things that matter. 

Spend time with friends, family, and the people who truly care about you. It’s okay to disconnect somedays and recharge to have the energy to make your own comeback.

Start Making Your Comeback | Tiger Woods Comeback

If you’re down and out, remember that the bigger the setback, the greater the comeback. Think of it like a slingshot.

Focus on taking massive action, ignoring critics, and believing in yourself. As Tiger said, “No matter how good you get, you can always get better, and that’s the exciting part.”

The eagle takes flight in search of the elusive rodent. The wolf sniffs the hoof shaped impression where a buck once stood. The child sharpens her spear in preparation for the hunt at first light. The gladiator breathes the thick air of battle before heavy iron gates grant passage to triumph or peril.

The path to success is not a path at all; it is an arena. | Can You Still Emerge Victorious?

With A Beaten Mind & Broken Body, Can You Still Emerge Victorious? “Broken Daggers”

Our passion to win must burn hotter than the sands beneath our feet.

Any mission, any goal comes with the risk of utter defeat.

But it is at the moment we are about to lose our footing, when our bodies are weak and minds worn, we must fight the hardest. Or risk losing everything.

Eventually, we reach a critical point in life. The moment a lightning bolt strikes across our hearts and ignites our passion. When the thunder roars and lightning cracks, we see the heavy iron gates to the arena have opened.

Only by daring to step forward, does our mission to succeed begin.

There is a myriad of paths life can send us down, by moving the compass needle in our hearts.

Whether we know it or not, our choices guide us to our own battle.

There are countless ways we can set goals for ourselves.

There are those who set out to start a business from the ground up. Some already within a company looking towards the next promotion burning with ambition. The college student who refuses to lose sight of his dream job however far away it may be. Will the accountant finally see the coveted C.P.A. after her title? Will the Army recruit make it to the ceremonial flags raised at the end of Basic Combat Training? Will the medical student see his first patient? Will the recovering addict sew the wounds they thought could be healed by a substance and conquer their mind?

We are all gladiators in our own arena. To endure the endless battle, the only helpful substance is raw strength of spirit and the iron will to never yield.

The hard truth is that we are all too human to endure endless struggle.

Fortunately, the body will follow what the mind believes possible, and perseverance is its teacher.

While we still stand upon the hot sands, enduring battle after battle, foe after foe, weary and scarred we will falter.. | Can You Still Emerge Victorious?

Even when we know our purpose, what drives us to achieve our mission, the battle can be overwhelming.

We will all get to the point where our legs begin to give, our backs hunched, sweat burning our eyes and the sword seemingly too heavy to swing again.

It begins with fatigue, and then we lose our footing, lose our way.

Our shield shatters, spear snaps and the sword falls from our grasp.

It is at the edge of our will we reach for the dagger on our belt. | Can You Still Emerge Victorious?

In our last desperate attempt to land a winning blow, we see the blade snap and the dagger is broken.

Everything fought for becomes distant as a swift unseen blow knocks us to the war stained sands we once proudly stood upon.

When our breath is heavy and our spirits seemingly evaporate, we must remember the words of the former champions.

Greatness is not handed down; it is forged in the hands of those willing to fight for it.

Even though we may find ourselves on the edge of defeat, a field of splintered shields and broken daggers, the fight is not over.

For as long as our lungs draw breath victory is always within reach.

Before we give in, before we let go of all we have trained for, remember the words etched on a warrior’s heart.

If I feel pain, I am alive. If I am alive, I can fight. If I can fight, I can win.

Despite not having any limbs he is one of the most positive, optimistic, and enthusiastic humans alive. He’s traveled to over 63 countries worldwide and counting to share his message of hope and positivity with the world. 

Uses these Nick Vujicic quotes to start living life to the max. 

“Often people ask how I manage to be happy despite having no arms and no legs. The quick answer is that I have a choice. I can be angry about not having limbs, or I can be thankful that I have a purpose. I chose gratitude.” – Nick Vujicic

You always have a choice to be happy, no matter what is going on in your life. How you react to anything determines how you feel about it.

While it might be easier to get angry or frustrated about events, you can always find something good in every scenario. Nick can produce such positivity from having no limbs. What kind of mindset shift can you produce?

“Money can’t heal your heart. Money can’t give you purpose. I don’t want arms and legs, I want purpose. I don’t want arms and legs, I want peace. And I don’t want arms and legs, I want to be a miracle for someone else.” – Nick Vujicic

If you want to get rich that’s awesome but don’t think it will make you happy, if you’re miserable now. Money will only magnify more of who you are already. If you are broke and angry you will be rich and angry.

Instead of chasing money, chase your purpose. The money will almost always follow.

“There are no short and easy paths to a long and lasting happiness.” – Nick Vujicic

Happiness isn’t a destination, it’s a journey. Quit taking shortcuts for short-term happiness and start the habits that will lead to your long-term joy and satisfaction with your life.

“I will try one hundred times to get up, and if I fail one hundred times and I give up, will I ever get up? No! If I fail I’ll try again and again. But I want to tell you, it’s not the end.” – Nick Vujicic

Quitting is the easiest way to never reach your goals. The most successful people in the world get knocked down but they keep getting back up. You only lose when you give up. Never give up!

“Often times we feel like either we can’t make a world of difference, or we feel that it’s not going to change anything anyway. The truth is you can change someone’s day, you can change someone’s life, but you have to show up and do what you got to do to actually see any fruit coming from it.” – Nick Vujicic

One smile, compliment or conversation with a stranger can change both your lives. Strive to always be a good person and you’ll be surprised how you can positively influence others.

“Focus on your dream and do everything in your power as you have the power to change your life circumstances.” – Nick Vujicic Quotes 

You and only you are the one that can change your life. Quit looking to people outside and look within yourself.

If you want to change, you can, but it will require you to change your mindset.

Use these Nick Vujicic quotes to remember that life is always happening for you, not to you. Learn from his inspiring message to make the most out of any circumstance you’re dealt in life.

Do you consider yourself someone who keeps going or someone who has the tendency to quit when it gets tough?

Most people give up way too soon. If you want to achieve something great in your life you can’t be afraid of failing. You must learn how to keep going when it seems impossible to continue.

Use these never give up quotes to become persistent in achieving your biggest dreams.

“There is no failure except in no longer trying.” ―Elbert Hubbard

The only way to truly fail is to quit. NEVER QUIT. Failure gets a bad name since our education system programmed us to avoid failing. But in reality, the most successful people are the ones that failed the most and quickest.

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” ―Thomas Edison

What if Thomas Edison had given up after his thousands of failed attempts? How much longer would it have taken someone to create the light bulb?

The same goes for your own journey. If you give up too quickly you don’t know what can happen in your life!

“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” ―Confucius

Slow and steady is 100X better than quitting. Progress is so important on your journey to achieve your dreams.

If you have a particularly big dream or goal don’t be afraid to take it slow. Set the big goal and chunk it down into smaller, more tangible steps. Keep it simple and keep moving forward.

“Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.” ―Conrad Hilton

The next you want to quit, ask yourself, “Will this help me succeed?”

Of course not. Sleep on it for a night or two and get back to taking action!

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” ―Nelson Mandela

The last mile to a marathon is the hardest. The last push in the 4th quarter comeback seems impossible. But it these type of comebacks happen all the time.

When it feels impossible, keep going. You are so close to making a breakthrough!

“Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.” – Winston Churchill | Never Give Up Quotes

If you keep thinking about starting a business or making a career change on a daily basis you need to start taking action. Even if success seems unlikely to understand that you can make the leap to live your dreams.

“Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” ―Harriet Beecher Stowe

Often times, when you start an epic journey the beginning seems easy. You have momentum, excitement, and support of others. But eventually, the tides will turn against you.

You will inevitably have to overcome huge obstacles to turn your dream into a reality. 

“How long should you try? Until.” ―Jim Rohn | Never Give Up Quotes

Just keep moving forward. The best things in life are the always the hardest to achieve. Otherwise, everyone would be living their dream life.

If you’re thinking about quitting your biggest goals, don’t give in to the fear. It’s just your mind trying to protect you from what it perceives as a risk.

Quit playing it safe,  start creating the life you have always wanted. Never give up, never give in to the doubts and fears.

Keep moving forward. Take massive action to achieve your dreams NOW!

“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

If you are one of the few people in the world that are committed to reaching your full potential congrats! Most people settle for mediocrity in life.

But if you have the courage and determination you can become anything your imagination can visualize. Define what success means to you and take action toward living that life every single day.

“When it comes to breaking old habits and starting new ones, remember to be patient with yourself. You’ve got to expect it’s going to take time and effort before you see lasting results.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Changing your bad habits is not an overnight experience. Want proof? Just look at 99% of New Year’s resolutions.

Changing a lifelong habit takes more than a few days of willpower.

To change your bad habits don’t try to drop them instead, replace them. Then, stick with that habit for at least 30-60 days. The longer (and worse) your habit, the longer it will take to replace.

“Unsuccessful people carry their goals around in their head like marbles rattling around in a can, and we say a goal that is not in writing is merely a fantasy.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Writing your goals down is the first step in turning your dreams into a reality. If you keep them in your head you’re bound to forget or not work on them consistently.

Write down all your goals. Whether it’s short-term, 90-day goals or listing out every life goal in a notebook. Even writing it down once will have a powerful effect on your subconscious mind to help you achieve your biggest dreams.

“Once-dominant empires have failed for this very reason. People get to a certain level of success and get too comfortable.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Your comfort zone is a dangerous place. When you get comfortable you can take things for granted and stop doing what got you there in the first place.

Challenge your mind and body on a regular basis to keep learning, striving, and achieving. Get comfortable being uncomfortable.

“Critics are bitter dreamers gone scared. Empathize and ignore.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Critics are usually the people that didn’t have the courage and determination to keep pursuing their dreams. Don’t’ let them get you down. Use their doubt as fuel to make accomplish your own goals and dreams.

“Your past doesn’t define you, it prepares you.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Your past is gone. There is no need to continue dwelling on your past mistakes. Everything that has happened has gotten you to where you are today.

“Your biggest challenge isn’t that you’ve intentionally been making bad choices. Your biggest challenge is that you’ve been sleepwalking through your choices.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Remember, you are the creator of your future.

While most people fear failure, Thomas Edison and other successful people learned to love failing. They understand that failure is part of the process to be successful at anything.

Use these Thomas Edison quotes to change your definition of failure and find success in your life.

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” — Thomas Edison

Would you have kept going at any of your goals if you “failed” 9,999 times? Most people wouldn’t. But if you want to become great at anything you have to learn to keep going.

You need to learn to frame the word “failure.” Because of school, it gets a negative connotation but in reality, failure IS the road to success. The most successful people in the world simply failed the most (and quicker) than everyone else.  Learn to make failure your best friend.

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” — Thomas Edison

As Les Brown said, “Most people give up on the one-yard line.” And it’s true. The last part to achieve anything great is almost always the hardest.

Just because you fail or things get hard doesn’t mean you should quit. It means you should find another way and keep your target in mind. If you have a strong WHY you won’t want to quit but instead will find a way to make it happen.

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” — Thomas Edison Quotes

Edison understood failure better than anyone. If you give up you will NEVER succeed.

The next time you feel like giving up on your business, project, or goal keep going. Would you rather end up failing and learning or stop completely? 

Learn, fail, adapt, try again. Do this formula until you make your dreams happen!

“If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.” – Thomas Edison

Human beings have the capability to do more than you could ever begin to imagine. We’ve found a way to visit the moon, launch satellites, and accomplish other amazing feats. Never forget that humans can do nearly anything.

Yes, it will be hard work at times. Yes, it will require sacrifice. And yes, it won’t be easy but it will always be worth it.

“When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this; you haven’t.” – Thomas Edison Quotes

You can always find a new way once you learn from your failures. There is always a way, sometimes you might need a small break but don’t give up. Keep going!

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” – Thomas Edison

Inspiration gets you take action but perspiration is the key to make it happen. Learn to inspire yourself daily to put in the work and make your dreams come true.

Use these Thomas Edison quotes to embrace failure and learn to fail your way to success!

Life is full of up and downs, and sometimes it can get so difficult that it’s hard to focus on achieving your goals when there’s so much that’s challenging your progress. However, no matter how hard it gets, it’s possible to stay motivated even during the hardest times.

Here are a few tips to help you stay motivated:

Remember Your Goals – Stay Motivated

Oftentimes, the best way to pick yourself up when going through a difficult time is to remind yourself why you do what you do in the first place? What matters to you the most? Is it your family? Is it to improve your situation or the lives of those around you? Whatever it is, make sure that your goals are bigger than you, because you’ll need to draw on them for strength when the odds are against you, which they inevitably will at some point. That’s just life. It’s how you face you challenges that will define you.

Build Courage – Stay Motivated

Like building a house, building courage is a gradual process. You have to lay one brick at a time, and soon enough you will have a wall. For example, the best way to build courage as a writer is to write every day. Even if it is for 30 minutes, you’ll soon find your skills improving and over time you’ll have more courage to share your work with others. This rings true no matter what it is that that you want to do.
Keep in mind that as soon as you start moving in the direction of what you want to achieve, your energy will start changing, and that’s ultimately how you build momentum and courage to do what you love which will bring you closer to your goals.

Take Care of Your Health – Stay Motivated

When somebody asked Dalai Lama what surprises him the most about humanity, he responded “People sacrifice health to make money. Then they sacrifice money to recover health.”
The take away from this is that you shouldn’t get so hung up trying to make a living or chasing your dreams that you forget to take care of your health. As it’s often said, “health is wealth” and without good health, you won’t be able to enjoy the fruits of your success. Luckily, staying healthy in our day and age is really easy.

All you have to do is practice good lifestyle habits such as:

Diet – Thanks to the internet, it’s really easy for anyone to learn useful information about the essentials of good nutrition and how to eat a balanced diet. Generally, you should try to stick to whole foods and keep your diet balanced yet dynamic. You should also include fruits, vegetables, grains, good healthy fats and proteins. On the other hand, reduce your intake of processed foods, fast food and sugary snacks and drink alcohol in moderation. Better health means more energy and increased vitality, to put towards your goals.

Exercise – Typically, 60 to 90 minutes of exercise per day for 3 to 5 days per week is enough to keep you fit and energized, no matter what type of exercise program you follow.

Sleep – Try to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night for optimal health, as poor sleeping habits can negatively impact your concentration and energy levels throughout the day. So try and maintain a routine time that you go to bed each night, as your body will naturally adjust to this schedule and adjust itself accordingly for a more efficient sleep.

Face Your Fears – Stay Motivated

We all have fears. It’s just part of being human. But what sets those who achieve their goals and dreams apart from those that don’t is the ability to face fears. Most of the time, facing your fears can help you discover more about yourself, and overcoming them will show you that you’re actually stronger than you’ve ever imagined. Face your biggest fear head on and you will be empowered.

Seek Help – Stay Motivated

Whatever you do, don’t close yourself out when you’re down. Instead, reach out to your support system, especially your mentor. Keep in mind that the people who make things happen in life don’t do it alone. They have mentors who guide them towards their goals so if you’re lucky enough to have a mentor then call on that resource when you need to. It has been said that you are the average of the 5 people you associate with most. Take a look a your circle of friends are they helping or hindering your progress? Surround yourself with winners and soon you will become one.

Never Give Up – I Am A Champion Lyrics:

Spoken:
Did you think there was a chance i would give up?
I NEVER Give Up
Maybe you will think twice, next time…

Chorus
I never give up!
I been down and out but I never stay down for the whole 10 count
I never give up

I been out in the rain, but I know that if there’s no pain there’s no gain

I never give up

I’m init to win it, until I finish, I’mma push it to the limit

I never give up

I got the heart of a soldier  what don’t kill me only makes me stronger

I never give up

Verse 1

My dreams were night mares

So many times I tried but my pillows felt night tears.

Olders always told me play it safe ‘cos life ain’t fair

But I never cared I’m just tryna beat my fears

Tryna climb my stairs

Not wait light years No

My demons always tell me quit

But I can’t hear

Verse 2 

No more limitations

I’m gonna hustle and give my struggle a facelift (now)

I been down and out

Know what hard times are about

Felt the pain in the rain but I’m stronger now

Like 10 times stronger now

My demons are wronger now

All that doubt in my mind I just kicked it out

Showed ‘em what hearts about

Showed ‘em what grind’s about

Showed ‘em what drives about

Showed ‘em what I’m about

I am a champion!!

No pain no game

Blood sweat and tears

I Work hard all day

To maintain my new ways of living

I have bigger goals

Better standards

Bigger dreams

Better things to achieve

A bigger me a better me that I see

I’mma take a risk

I ain’t scared of risk I ain’t scared of shxt

All I know I’ll never quit

I will persist

I will resist

I will give it

All that I got

Straight to the top

I am a champion

I always keep it going

Step by step I’ll reach my goals

Even if it’s stormin’

Steady when the winds blowing

Don’t know how to reach where I’m going or how to get there but I’mma get too the top, just know that I’ll never stop

I don’t need luck or lottery

Ain’t no stopping me

There ain’t no stop in me

Ain’t no dropping me

Even if they put me in the jail and put locks on me

someone throws shots in me

I’mma get back to the top where I gotta be

(Chorus)

I never give up!
I been down and out but I never stay down for the whole 10 count
I never give up

I been out in the rain, but I know that if there’s no pain there’s no gain

I never give up

I’m init to win it, until I finish, I’mma push it to the limit

I never give up

I got the heart of a soldier  what don’t kill me only makes me stronger

I never give up
