Sitting Still Won’t Get You Through It! Keep Moving!



“If you are going through hell, keep going.”

~ Winston Churchill

Ever had one of those days when EVERYTHING was going wrong?  Of course, you have!  Now the better question would be how did you handle it?  It is easy to sit down in the midst of a storm and wallow in thoughts of “I can’t” and feelings of “why me”.  We must live the type of life in which we keep moving forward despite the seemingly indestructible forces we face!  Besides, no matter what storms come your way, there is always a calm preceding it for you to prepare and a reprieve after for you to recuperate!  Today’s challenge is to slip on your armor of protection and continue to walk boldly through the storms in your life.

As a people, we mistakenly believe that our problems are so much bigger than our abilities.  The ironic twist to it all is that we do not know our abilities until we have to battle a storm.  Know that you have the KSA’s – knowledge, skills and abilities – to get through anything that comes your way.  When you start to doubt yourself, think of your past.  There is sure to be a situation that you didn't believe you could overcome.  Life didn't allow you to avoid it, so you had to endure it.  Whether you fought through it or got beat down…you got through it!  Never forget your success in your past storms.  They hold valuable lessons that can assist you later.  Another part of your challenge for today is to remove the doubt and figure it out!  If God brought you to it, He will get you through it!  Believe that!  

  

Despite how different our individual struggles in life may be, we will all face tumultuous times.  Whether you are in the calm before the storm, facing the storm itself or catching a breather from going through a storm, guess what?  You always have two choices: Stop or Keep Going.  For those who choose to stop, you will find that your storms seem endless.  You will continue to be beat down by life’s treacherous times until you make a conscious effort to be stronger than your situation.  For those who chose to keep going, you will continue to find, and appreciate, the peace after.  Oh and how can I forget your bonus!  You will discover a reward of an enhanced resilience to assist in your journey.  So remember…

“Everything is temporary.  Everything is bound to end.”

…EVERYTHING including your struggles.  No matter what comes your way…no matter how hard it seems…all you have to do is KEEP MOVING!  Until tomorrow my loves!
