Mike's Quotes #8: Are YOU Tough?

“When the going gets tough, the tough get going but, you know what? 
Sometimes it's TOUGH to GET GOING!” - Mike Spillman (12.10)

My guess is that we have all heard the saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going!" Am I right?  Hey, it's a good saying full of power and challenge!

But, you know what? Even for the "tough", sometimes it's just plain old TOUGH to GET GOING! 

It really doesn't matter who you are, what you do for a living, where you live or any other factor that you want to come up with...we all face this truth from time to time.   

So, what do you do when it's tough to get going?

YOU GET GOING ANYWAY!

Hey listen, I understand that it really IS tough to get going at times and I also understand that it's really easy to just sit down and avoid whatever it is that is making it so tough to get going. I get that, I really do.

I would even say that, from time to time, there's nothing wrong with taking a break and catching your breath but, friend, MAKE SURE YOU DON'T STAY THERE TOO LONG! 

No matter how you feel or how tough it may seem, you MUST get back up and get going...this is an absolute must! You can't send out invitations to your own personal pity party and then eat all of the pity party cake when no one else shows up!

GET UP AND GET GOING, REGARDLESS! 

Are you "tough enough" to do that?  I'm going to answer that for you...YES, YOU ARE!

Now, get going and don't look back. And, until next time, whatever you do, always be sure to...

"Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"
