Everyone has days where they feel like giving up. When life has pushed them to such limits that all they want to do is quit their work, isolate themselves from their social life and come home to burrow in their bed and not move…ever.

So, a while back you started out on your entrepreneurial journey. For a while it was exciting, you were inspired and doing well…till you found yourself balancing too many responsibilities at once, got stressed out and eventually lost your passion.

The life of an entrepreneur is a challenging one. Every day there are new decisions to be made, new roadblocks in their startup’s success, new business relationships to form. It’s not unheard of for entrepreneurs to lose their spirit when things consistently take a turn for the worse.

Sometimes, demotivation comes from lack of energy. Sometimes it’s because things at home are tougher than usual. Sometimes you’re going through a mental crisis.

There are times when it seems everything is working against you. Life is tough, and just when you surpass one obstacle, there’s another one. Before you know it, you’re overcome with an ongoing sense of hopelessness.

Sometimes, the answer to our most challenging problem actually turns out to be the simplest. Hidden in plain sight, we simply ignore it because we erroneously associate wisdom with complexity.

A lot of people tend to believe that writing New Year’s resolutions is just a gimmicky holiday ritual meant to make you feel more confident about your future.

Drop whatever you’re doing right now and take a deep breath.

If you come home after a hard day’s work and feel utterly miserable, ask yourself a simple question: when was the last time you had a good laugh?
