You have to work, get shit done and just "do it," even when you're being tested. This goes for anything, even if there's nothing in particular going on in your life but you're still feeling tested, you just have to force yourself to work. I mean really dig deep and force yourself to do it.
In Relationships
Sometimes in life we are tested in our relationships. This could be with family members, a spouse, a boyfriend/girlfriend, co-workers. . . You get the idea. A lot of people let their relationships with others affect how they work. Relationships, of any kind, can leave a person feeling tested.
It doesn't matter. You still have to work. Sometimes relationships can cause you to feel like you don't want to do anything, but the hard truth is you have to rise above that shit and get work done.
Unmotivated
Nobody is motivated 100% of the time. A lot of people aren't, but I'm sure there are a few that are always genuinely motivated. However, if you're not one of them, then you have to still work when de-motivation kicks in. Sometimes people do the best work when they are not motivated. Remember, some work is better than doing no work at all.
Drained/Tired
You don't always wake up energized and ready to go. Sometimes depression drains the best of us, and when we allow being drained and being tired to take over, we don't get anything done. Every single day matters when it comes to reaching goals, therefore working through shit is a must. If you are so sure you are that drained that you can't do work, then test yourself and do a tiny bit of work, take a break, do a bit more work, take a break and repeat this for a few hours. Before you know it, you've gotten a shitload of work done or at least more work done than you would have gotten done if you didn't do anything.
Negative Thinking
Negative thinking has ruined so many dreams because it can cause a person to not take action. Challenge yourself the next time you are doubting yourself, wondering what your next move is or whatever other negative stuff you're thinking. . . Challenge yourself to get work done or at least do a little bit of work.
The bottom line is you will feel tested at times, some people are tested more than others but you have to force yourself to work.
