25 Circumstances In Which You Should Consider Doubling Down On Your Resolve

When the money is worth it.

When the opportunity is worth it.

When it is essential to achieving your potential.

When you have a worthwhile goal.

When you have nothing to lose.

When you have a lot to learn.

When you really (really) want something.

If your conscience says you should.

If it’s a possible stepping stone to big things.

When your intuition tells you to.

When your financial position is at risk.

If it is what you need to do to tide over.

When a value that is important to you is on the line.

If it’s important to you not to feel like a quitter.

If it involves any habit you need to give up.

When you want to break a pattern.

If it’s a life and death situation.

When you’ve invested time and money, and victory feels close.

When people are depending on you.

When turning back would have negative consequences.

If your physical or emotional health will be positively impacted.

If it is important to your spiritual growth.

If it is important to your self-worth.

If it will increase your tolerance of challenges, frustration, and criticism.

If it will build your character.

           ********************

When you double down on your resolve, you effectively create your own boot camp. 

Going through your personalized 'circumstantial' boot camp, will make you stronger, and more confident in your ability to handle tough challenges.

A quitter mentality never made anyone feel good.

An easy-way-out mentality never made anyone feel good.

It is your hard achievements which will make you feel good.

Make sure your goals are hard and worthwhile goals to pursue.

Then resolve to double down, even triple down, on your resolve to achieve those goals.

I urge you to bump up your motivation to a new level by reading 2 other posts.

A post about breaking out of convenience, comfort and the status quo, and going for something bigger. Here's a sampling of that post, taken from its concluding lines:

"You can’t write a blog without actively choosing fear.

When you sit down to write a post, you fear being boring, being repetitive, being out of touch, and being irrelevant.

I face that fear every week when I sit down to write. 

Convenience.  Comfort.  Status Quo.

Inconvenience.  Discomfort. Breakthrough.

The fact that I am still writing tells you what my spirit has chosen."

Intrigued as a terrified writer, or as a terrified "whatever"? You can read the post here.

Another post which I urge you to read has this powerful message from Joe De Sena of Spartan Up fame: 

“When you break through the other side of hell and finish an event that did not seem possible, that stopped you in your tracks, over and over, something happens.  You feel accomplished, incredibly proud of yourself, and in some ways, a different person”
