How to Keep Going When Things Get Tough ????

When life gets messy, gutsy moves keep you moving forward

As the year winds down, life has a way of throwing curveballs. Unexpected stress. Heavy emotions. Moments that make you pause and wonder,?Am I really on the right path?

This time of year can bring both a sense of reflection and a lot of pressure. It's easy to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or tempted to hit pause on your goals until “the timing feels right.”

But here's the thing:?the magic happens when you choose to keep going—even when it's hard.

This is what I call a?gutsy move.

It's the belief and action that show up in the split second when you're faced with a choice: to stay where it feels safe or to lean into what you really want. Gutsy doesn't mean perfect or fearless. It means messy action in the face of doubt and challenges.

When life gets tough, gutsy moves look like:

? Saying yes to yourself, even when others don't understand your choices.

? Taking one small step toward your goal, even if it feels like it's not enough.

? Giving yourself permission to rest, because a clear mind makes bold decisions.

Reflection for You:

As we head into the final stretch of the year, I invite you to pause for a moment and ask yourself:

1. What's one gutsy move I made this year that I'm proud of?
2. What's one step I can take today to keep moving forward?

Big or small, these moves matter. Each one brings you closer to the aligned, purpose-filled life you're creating.
