Strategy Life Coaching

If you give up on you, you're not going to get very far because even when others offer you help, they're going to see that they'll have to do most all of the work for you and they aren't going to be up for that. It's one thing to lend a hand to another or a few extra steps on ladder up. It's an entirely other thing to have to carry an entire other limp human up the ladder while you pull your own body weight up it. Even if someone wanted to carry you up all the way, they wouldn't be able to because the gravity of your decision to give up will pull you down while they try to move up. Eventually they'll have to put you down. And if you've given up, you won't stay at the higher steps they brought you to. You'll go back down to the bottom.

And then all you're going to be left with is others who sit at the bottom of the ladder lamenting about how 'hard' life is and how upset they are that no one will carry them up the mountain or make the mountain disappear.

It's not gonna be fun to sit around those ppl. Just like it won't be fun to sit with you, if that's where you let yourself stay.

Make different choices.

Stop giving up on yourself and start pushing yourself to get to the next level. Take some deep breaths when you run into bigger challenges, and then find a way to overcome them. There's ALWAYS a way when you keep pushing, climbing, moving, and doing.

I know.

I've done it and still do it.

From always.upper.elementary on IG: “Students being rude? Try this! In this lesson, we discussed how…. - we are responsible for our words & actions - we need to spread kindness and love - we choose what to put out into the world - our words & actions have power and an impact on others - once our words & actions are out in the world, we cannot erase them or fully take them back - we can choose to fill other people’s “buckets” or do the opposite - apologizing is an important part of making things right after we make a mistake I reminded my students that we did this lesson on the last day of school because I want them to remember this concept for the rest of their lives! Of course there are small, random exceptions to this 30 second rule, but making this concept concrete for my students has been incredibly helpful! SAVE this reel as a reminder to try this in your classroom too—it is SO worth it! 🙌🏼”
