Progress Through Adversity

It’s easy to lose sight of your goals when faced with challenging situations. Moving forward can feel like trudging through mud. However, I’ve realized that even when emotions like sadness or anger are overwhelming, it’s still possible to take small, actionable steps toward your goals. Your behavior and your emotions are separate. While it’s easier to pursue your goals from a place of joy, it’s also possible to make progress even in sadness. Remember, your goals are options—and options can be chosen. What will you choose to do?

Reflection Question:

How can you take one small step toward your goals, regardless of how you feel today?
