The reality of life is that it flows through ups and downs. The day you truly grasp this, your thoughts will no longer dominate you as much. Often, when we face a downfall—not just minor setbacks, but moments when everything seems to collapse, when it feels like nothing is going right—that’s when we stop exercising, and instead start consuming unnecessary information. This type of downfall is common in life, but it’s important to remember that it’s just a phase that will eventually pass.

Today, we’ll talk about how to stay strong when life throws these challenges your way. When such situations arise, we often find ourselves doing nothing, allowing our thoughts to overwhelm us unnecessarily. But the first thing to understand is that life is like this for everyone. It’s not just happening to you; everyone experiences it in one way or another. However, it’s essential to adopt the mindset that “if it has to be done, it will be done.”

The Right Mentality: Doing vs. Trying

There’s a fundamental difference between a try mentality and a do mentality. Unsuccessful people often think, "I’ll try." On the other hand, successful people think, "If it has to be done, I’ll do it." No matter what thoughts arise or how much pain and struggle it takes, they don’t care. Once they’ve made up their mind to achieve something, they stick to it, no matter what.

Even if you wake up every morning and work without immediate success, continuing to work itself is a significant achievement. That’s why it’s crucial to understand that life is like this. You need to know what you want and adopt the "if it has to be done, it will be done" mentality.

Staying Committed to Your Goals

When you decide on something, no power in the world can stop you. For example, if I’ve decided to become a comedian, you might think that it’s impossible. Maybe I’ll fail the first time, the second time, even the third or fourth time, but eventually, on the 1001st attempt, I’ll make an entry so powerful that people will be shocked. Once you’re determined, no thoughts can hold you back, and all your thoughts will stay behind, while the action-oriented mindset takes over.

Flexibility in Approach, Firmness in Goals

One crucial aspect is to stay flexible in your thinking. While you should remain strong and fixed on your goal, your approach to achieving that goal must be flexible. Don’t cling to a method that isn’t working; immediately pivot if needed, but never change your end goal. You might need to modify your path, but the destination should remain the same until your last breath.

For me, it’s not about achieving something but about doing everything within my power to reach my goal. I’ve made it very clear in my life: I don’t desire to achieve anything; I desire to do everything possible to reach that achievement. This is why I don’t worry about the result, as I can’t control that. What I can control is doing everything within my capacity.

Taking Action, Despite the Struggles

When you adopt the mentality of "if it has to be done, it will be done," it doesn’t matter what setbacks or obstacles come your way. Your mind becomes action-oriented, and you keep taking steps, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. That’s why it’s essential to focus on the work and not let unnecessary thoughts cloud your mind.

People will come and go, situations will change, but your vision should remain clear. While flexibility in approach is necessary, clarity in vision is paramount. You should always be clear about what you truly want.

Conclusion: The Power of Vision and Determination

When your vision is clear and your mind is determined, it generates a kind of energy that propels you forward effortlessly. You don’t need to force yourself; you just naturally progress. This is not a theoretical concept—I’m sharing this because it’s what I’ve experienced in my life.

If you’re clear about what you want and you adopt the mindset of doing everything possible, life’s ups and downs won’t bother you as much. You’ll keep moving forward, despite any struggles or setbacks.
