Losing is hard. Winning is hard. But there is a third hard no one talks about — staying the same. Staying in the life that drains you is hard. Watching others live the life you know you’re capable of is hard. Silencing your own voice to keep others comfortable is hard. Growth demands something from you. It asks for discipline when you’re tired. Faith when you can’t see the outcome. Courage when the old version of you is begging you to stay familiar. The difference is this: One hard keeps you stuck. The other hard sets you free. I choose the hard that builds me. I choose the hard that strengthens me. I choose the hard that honors who I am becoming. That’s Desert Grit.

@Russell Cross III definitely!
