Things Learned From…
Duke women’s basketball coach Kara Lawson — Handle Hard Better
…we all wait in life for things to get easier.
Think in your own life if you’ve waited for something to get easier. “I just got to get through this and then it’ll be easy.” [...]
It’s what we do. We wait for stuff to get easier.
It will never get easier.
What happens is you handle hard better. [...]
…that’s a mental shift that has to occur in each of your brains. It has to, because if you go around waiting for stuff to get easier in life, it’s never going to happen.
And then what happens?
“Oh, it’s so hard. Oh, I can’t do it…When is it going to be easy for me? It’s easy for other people.”
It’s not. It’s hard. [...]
…make yourself a person that handles hard well. Not someone that’s waiting for the easy. Because if you have a meaningful pursuit in life, it will never be easy. [...]
Ask your parents. Do you think it was ever easy for them to raise kids? It’s not.
Any meaningful pursuit in life, if you want to be successful, it goes to the people that handle hard well. Those are the people that get the stuff they want. [...]
Don’t get discouraged through this time if it’s hard…It’s supposed to be.
…make yourself someone that handles hard well, and then whatever comes at you you’re going to be great.
