Thug it in

To stop pushing through an obstacle and instead dealing with it head on. To be strong enough to see the boulder in front of you and break it.

"I was going just keep thugging it out, but, I think I need to face this problem now, instead of just continuing to remain strong. Instead of remaining strong, maybe I need to face that obstacle, break it, and remain weak for a little bit. After that, I'm sure I'll come out stronger than before. Sometimes, you just have to thug it in."
