Pushing Through The Frustration

Yesterday almost whooped my butt.

I was trying to add some code to my blog so people could follow it through Follow.it. Now listen—me and code don’t get along. I know there are plenty of blind and visually impaired folks who do this kind of thing for a living or even for fun—and shout out to them! But that’s not me. This ain’t my comfort zone.

To make things even more fun, I was on a time crunch. My friends were on the way to pick me up for a concert, and I was in the middle of a full-on battle with my laptop. Tabs open, instructions pulled up, trying to make sense of something that felt like it was written in another language. I was frustrated. Tired. Over it.

But I didn’t quit.

I kept going. I reread the steps. I double-checked the code. I second-guessed myself the whole time, but I stayed in it. And finally, the site said “successful.” That one word felt like a celebration.

Was it perfect? Probably not. But I finished. And that counts.

Sometimes, success isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about sticking with it when you feel like giving up. It’s about trying something new, pushing through the discomfort, and proving to yourself that you can.

So whatever your “yesterday” is—don’t let it whoop you. You’ve got more strength in you than you think.

Call to Action:
Is there something you’ve been avoiding because it’s unfamiliar, frustrating, or flat-out uncomfortable? Take a step. Just one. You don’t have to crush it—you just have to start. Then come back and tell me what you did. I’m rooting for you.
