X(yz+1): There comes a point when you realize that worrying about a problem doesn’t solve it, avoiding a decision doesn’t make it disappear, and waiting until you feel ready can keep you waiting forever. “Do the Hard Thing” is about choosing action over excuses and solutions over fear. The difficult road may ask more of you, but sometimes it’s the only road that leads to the woman you know you can become. ~Jessica
DO THE HARD THING:
Everybody wants the mountain
Nobody wants the climb
Everybody wants tomorrow
But they keep waiting for the time
When the road gets a little straighter
When the fear don’t feel so strong
But easy never built a backbone
And waiting never moved you on
You already know the answer
You just don’t like what it means
There’s a difference between wanting
And doing what your future needs
Do the hard thing
When the easy thing calls
Take another step
When you’re ready to fall
Tell the truth when a lie
Would let you off clean
Walk away when staying
Would betray what you believe
Make the call you’ve been avoiding
Close the door you need to close
Put the bottle on the counter
Tell temptation where to go
Get your boots back in the gym
Get your hands back on the wheel
Say “I’m sorry” when you’re wrong
Say “I’m done” when the deal ain’t real
You can bargain with your conscience
You can dress excuses well
But the person inside the mirror
Always knows the truth you tell
Do the hard thing
When the easy thing calls
Take another step
When you’re ready to fall
Tell the truth when a lie
Would let you off clean
Walk away when staying
Would betray what you believe
Comfort never kept a promise
Fear never paid a debt
You don’t need another Monday
You don’t need one more reset
You don’t need to feel ready
You don’t need a perfect plan
Sometimes courage is just choosing
To do the thing you know you can
DO THE HARD THING!
When the easy thing calls
Take another step
When you’re ready to fall
Face the fear that’s been telling you
You’ll never break free
But the hardest thing you’re facing
Might be just what sets you free
DO THE HARD THING!
Let tomorrow understand
You didn’t wait for courage
You took courage by the hand
There’s a better version of you
And she’s closer than you think
No perfect time.
No guarantee.
No cavalry…
Do the hard thing…
