How to remain steady through Hard times and find the joy of living a centered life

​

"Actively participate in life with full knowledge that difficulties are a fundamental part of our journey."

— Seneca

​

The centered life is often misunderstood because of the pain, sacrifice, and adversity it entails. But when we take a deeper look at what it truly means to live a centered life, we realize that the pain many try to avoid becomes our ally. Through it, we foster our identity, become stronger, and develop unshakable confidence—not only from overcoming challenges but also from committing to the lifestyle we’ve chosen.

As we face adversity while practicing something meaningful, we begin to love the practice itself. We develop a deeper love for the journey of fulfilling our purpose, and life becomes meaningful.

Living a centered life requires us to swim against the tide, as it is a path that few choose to follow. This lifestyle demands inner strength and discipline to remain strong and steady. Many times, the path feels lonely, and the rewards are delayed. But through living a centered life, I’ve come to realize that the greatest rewards are delayed—and we must fall in love with the process if we want to receive the full benefits.

To avoid leaving everything behind, we must hold on to our purpose and live a centered life. We need to realize that living with restrictions can provide the freedom we want—and that’s when life gains true meaning.

· Only those who are financially disciplined have the freedom to live the lifestyle they desire.

· Only those who are disciplined with their diets have an abundant level of energy in their bodies.

· Only those who are spiritually disciplined experience true freedom and gratitude.

"Practice each of your actions as if it were the last of your life."

— Marcus Aurelius

​

Set aside these words:

“I have no motivation…”

“I´m not in the mood for…”

Depending on motivation or good feelings to take action is the same as being inconsistent, because emotions come and go. If we only act when we feel good, we’ll act only occasionally, and that will keep us far from the life we desire.

Living a meaningful life requires discipline and consistency. These are the bridges to achieving our goals. We need to commit to and adopt discipline as a new way of living.

​

Here are a few pieces of advice to develop discipline:

· Define your purpose and create clear goals.

· Define the new identity, values, and principles you want to live by.

· Give yourself time to achieve your goals.

· Focus on making daily progress.

· Be part of a community that lives the lifestyle you aspire to.

· Develop a routine that gives you a sense of control over your life.

Most importantly, create small goals that are easy to achieve—these will build a strong belief that you're becoming a disciplined person.

Small daily wins shape your new identity.

​

"Decide what kind of person you want to be. Prove that to yourself with small wins."

— James Clear.

1 Question for You:

Living a centered life is a real challenge.

We tend to focus on actions that bring immediate rewards. We want to feel good about what we do and experience positive emotions.

But over time, I’ve realized that:

What offers immediate rewards often brings delayed consequences.

What brings delayed rewards often involves present pain—but produces incredible results in the long run.

The pursuit of excellence helped me see this clearly.

Even though I still have moments when I feel like giving up—when the pain seems endless—I keep moving forward. Sometimes I fall, but I rise again.

And one question I always ask myself is:

"Will living the way I’ve been living lead me to the fulfillment of my purpose?"
