Not being good enough\dissapointment

Have you ever struggled with either of these? I've found that this year these are two prominent things that keep happening to me, in different circumstances or situations. It seems as though whatever I'm doing, it always winds up here. Why is that?

Because these are two things that everyone struggles with, I think. There's always going to be someone better than you. Someone who is just way better than you at something. And what do you have to do to be on that level? Work hard.

This is one of the things that I have definitely also been learning over the past couple months-a year. I know that I will never get far in the dance world if my body is not ready for the challenges to come. So I work out. I got in a good groove when it came to working out for quite some time, but then I stopped.  And that is when I should've kept going.

But I didn't.

I didn't feel the need to. I didn't keep working hard. And now that it's back to dance season, I find my body out of shape and not ready. So I've started up again. I'm praying that I have the motivation to keep going, and I think as long as I keep thinking about it, I will. And how does this go back to disappointment and not being good enough you're wondering?

If you don't work hard, you won't get what you want. You won't get that role, that job you've been hoping for for years, or anything. You'll find yourself in a position that I often find myself in. Disappointed. In these situations, I've found the only thing I can do is just think, "Everything happens for a reason." And it does. You'll find out in a while why you didn't get that role, or job. And if not, there was a reason. This is a hard struggle for me. I've always struggled with it to a degree, but this year has been especially hard in many different ways.

Just know, you are NOT alone in this, at all. I'm right there with you. 

So let me know in the comments if you're going through something like this right now, what is it?
