Pushing through those difficult times can be quite draining to say the least. There are times when it seems as though everything is falling apart. The harder we try, the more obstacles that get in our way. It’s those times that we must push through. Yes, we become very discouraged and exhausted; even angry and confused; but we mustn’t allow those times to cause us to give up. Life happens and a lot of the times it’s not the way we want it to be, that’s just life. If there were some miracle cure I would be a millionaire by now, but there’s not. Life is going to go on, whether we like it or not. We can either accept it, obstacles and all, or we can resist it, either way will not stop its process from happening.
So many times I have yelled out to God, “Why is this happening?” and many times I have isolated myself from the disappointments & heartache that Life throws my way, but that only causes me to be in more pain and it doesn’t change what has happened. I use to always quit, never finishing anything, because of all the bumps along the way. This only caused me to miss out on so many opportunities and most important , it made me feel terrible about myself. So, today, I dust myself off, assess the situation, and start again. Sometimes, life just seems to flow peacefully, but sometimes I have to push through those difficult times, while holding on with all that I’ve got.
Don’t take it personally when things aren’t going as you planned. It’s not always your fault when things seem to fall apart; Just keep going, do the next right thing, say a prayer and keep pushing through the mud and the muck. Soon it will pass and you will have grown even stronger than you were before.
