What to do when life gives you lemons? You make the tastiest lemonade! Life never comes easy, especially for those always pushing the bar.

If you need some support to keep going, I’ve got your back. I’m Ghana’s first skeleton Olympian and here are some tips to keep you moving.

Realize How Far You’ve Come

Achieving your goals can be exhausting, but when you’re drained, take a pause. Staying focused on your future is a great way to keep you going, but you also need to look around. When you feel down, look at how far you’ve come.

The obstacles and challenges you tackled will inspire you, and you’ll get the nudge to keep working towards your goals.

Remember Why You Started

Do you feel lost and demotivated? Well, don’t lose direction and keep your eyes on the prize. You’re your only shot at getting back on track when things get tough. So, think about your objectives and why did you start this journey.

When I began my journey, the only thing that encouraged me was my dreams. I didn’t start running until I was 15, but I haven’t slowed down. So, think about what you want in life and how critical your hard work is.

Try making a note of these little things and posting them around, so you constantly get a glimpse of them.

Take Baby Steps

If there’s one thing you need to know to get ahead in life, it is that you need to walk before you run. The start of your journey will be slow, but you’ll eventually pick up the pace. Remember, you’ll stumble in life countless times, but you must come back stronger than before. That’s what life is all about.

If you’re feeling burnt out, slow down; take baby steps. Try accomplishing minor goals that will ultimately help you fulfill your target. With smaller steps, you’ll be making remarkable progress. Remember, slow and steady wins the race.

Once you get the motivation you need, you can speed up, but until then, these little achievements will keep you going.

Seek Guidance

Sometimes no matter how hard you try, things might not work out. In such circumstances, guidance will go a long way. Success stories and words of motivation and wisdom from thriving people can be impactful.

Even the most prosperous individuals have had their fair share of struggles and hardships, but they didn’t let them derail their aims. So, try to acquire guidance from someone who understands the lows.
