I need some hedgehog advice. I'm depressed :( how do you stay so positive?
Believe it or not, even Sonic the Coolhog has to slow down sometimes. Things can come to a point they seem impossible to overcome. Trust me, I've seen my share of impossible scenarios. While the scenario may seem impossible, breaking it down to what you can do even if it's just standing up, always leads to the next.
For every little thing you accomplish you get a little closer to the goal, it's like putting the whole jigsaw puzzle together. Some people it takes months to put together - one piece at a time motivation coming in and out. You don't have to finish the race in one day -not everyone can in two shakes of a hedgehog tail, and that's okay.
One of the hardest hurdles? Outrunning the past. It's like trying to outrun a treadmill, stopping only pulls you right back. You can't change the past, and regret only hurts more because it can't be fixed. I always try to keep looking ahead. Keep focused on how I can improve and grow. Look for the pieces you can put together instead of dwelling on the puzzle from yesterday.
Something that makes the puzzles easier is friends. A lot of times, I've only been able to get out of shaky situations because of them, because we all have our strengths and weaknesses - even me. So just remember, one step at a time. And if you can't manage the next step? It's okay to slow down, remember the things that you can do, and who you are. If all else fails, reach out to a friend. They can't always know we need help if we don't tell them.
