Do you ever feel like that? I have felt that way on our jOurNey to get out of debt. On Tuesday, I shared the story on how we got out of denial and started tackling our finances in my “Getting Out of Financial Denial” post. Does that mean the process has been easy and I haven’t wanted to quit? No way!
Today I wanted to shed some light on the “lows” of working toward a gOaL. There will be times when you feel like you are making no progress. When we first started tackling our debt I felt like we were moving mountains. But as time went on there were moments we felt defeated because of unexpected bills or kinks in the “plan”.
Life isn’t easy. There will be suRpriSes and setbacks. In tough times, Doug and I talk a lot about where we’ve come and the good things in store for our future. When we need inspiration we tune into Dave Ramsey’s radio show for the “Debt Free Fridays” to hear how other people turned their financial disaster into a sUcCeSs story. We surround ourselves with friends that have similar goals and give us support. We choose NOT to give up because we know there IS a light at the end of the tunnel.
If you are feeling defeated in some area of your life, take heart! You may not feel like you are making progress, but YOU ARE. Eventually you will see your hard work pay off. Believe it and persevere. The greatest rewards come to those who work hard and wait….
