Document the Bad Times…
Summary
- Document your life when it's tough, not just when it's going well.
- Capture the challenging times, such as sleeping on the floor or missing sales, because they shape your story.
- Remember the moments when you're at a low point, like a dwindling bank account or car troubles, as they are pivotal experiences.
- Realize that your struggles are the "monsters" that, once conquered, make your success story more heroic.

How To Take Action
I would suggest documenting the rough patches you go through. Don't just focus on the good times. When you're feeling down, like after a tough day of missed sales, or when you're looking at an empty bank account, or even when your car breaks down, take a moment to write it down or take a picture. These challenges are your "monsters," and facing them will make your success story stronger.
A good way of doing this is to keep a journal or a simple note-taking app on your phone. Whenever you face a hardship, jot down a few thoughts or feelings about the situation. It doesn’t have to be a long story, just enough to remember what you overcame. This habit doesn’t cost you money, just a little bit of time.
Also, think about talking with friends or family when you're facing these moments. Sharing can help you feel like you're not alone, and later, these shared stories can inspire others. Plus, they'll add a personal touch to your success journey.
Remember, when things get tough, that’s actually the best time to pay attention. Capturing these moments will help you notice your growth later. Plus, when you look back, you'll realize how much stronger these experiences made you. So, embrace the low points as much as the high points. They are just as important in shaping who you are and who you’re becoming.
