I know it’s kind of distasteful to quote oneself but here are some personal quotes that I’d like to share and popularize because I believe in them so much.  Feel free to quote me hahaha.  

“If something is truly worth fighting for then there will definitely be a fight for it.” - Ernie Aragon, Jr. 

As I coach people whether it is study coaching or life coaching, I have observed something very interesting.

I ask people to write down worthwhile life goals so that I could coach them on how to attain them.  After this process, most people are full of zest and excitement, ready to take on the world to pursue their goals.

However, after facing a series of obstacles to their goals or even their first major obstacle, some quickly get discouraged.  Some doubt if they made the right choice in choosing their goals.

With this, I patiently sit down with them and ask if they consider the goals they’ve written down as worth fighting for and they would say yes.  Then I would tell them that they should not be surprised then if there is a fight for it.

If there’s no competition or fight or struggle for something, then it probably isn’t really that worthwhile.  Challenges are part of reaching for our dreams.  

I guess that’s part of what makes them so fulfilling and worthwhile. And partly that’s what life and study coaches are for: to help you keep on track when the challenges come.
