What's going on, Beaches? Welcome to the Daily Soul podcast, 31117 Sunday, November the 17th.

And today we're talking about tough times. Yesterday, we discussed how to stay disciplined

when it is inconvenient, how to stay focused during calm seas, how to focus on the basics,

go back to the foundations, go back to the seven pillars. And it's also important to understand that over the weekend is when a lot of

people struggle. That's why a lot of times these episodes over the weekend focus on struggle,

focus on things that you're trying to overcome, because oftentimes the schedule has changed.

People do a Monday through Friday or the kids are off from school

on the weekend. So your schedule changes and everything goes out the window. So of course,

you need to be ruthlessly consistent, focus on your North Star. Always plug into these weekend

episodes because it's going to help you really hammer down your seven pillars. We really like

to focus extra on the seven pillars over the weekend because this is an opportunity for me to jam some solosophy into your ear holes and for you to

come away with something to consider over the weekend where you might be feeling a little bit bummed

out or dragging or your schedules off and you feel like you're kind of falling off the pony a little

bit, which I guarantee you're not as much as you think you are.

So don't tell yourself a story that you're failing, that you're not doing what you should be

doing because that's just going to snowball.

But tough times never last.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

I got those swole cards on my wall.

And I want you to think about any kind of ups and downs.

If you look at a mountain in a valley, a valley is only a valley because it goes back up.

And a mountain is only a mountain is because it has a peak.
