· Getting through a rough patch.
· Getting through a tough course.
· That’s something to be proud of.
I’m not sure if today’s author was saying this to herself, someone she cared about, or the hypothetical person who goes through tough times, but it’s one of the best things you can say to anyone. I always asked people I was interviewing about something that was especially tough that they got through anyway – the answers were always a window into their character. You want to surround yourself with people that have grit enough to get through the hard times or projects or problems – it says something about them that you and they should be proud of. So, when you see someone who muscles through, tell them you’re proud of them and that they should be proud of themselves. You don’t always have to be a winner to be a champion. Be proud of staying committed to your dreams even when things get tough today.
