Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way

Hi, guys! I know it's been more than a month since my last post but here is one that I think was worth the wait. Thanks for reading!

Life isn’t easy. It isn’t perfect. It hardly ever goes according to plan. It’s tough. But, though all the challenges and setbacks, it’s definitely worth living to the fullest. For example, we have all set out to reach or attain some goal over the course of our lives. We want to become doctors, lawyers, and therapists. We want to start families by 25. We want to run marathons or win a big contest.

Initially, we’re excited with the thought of reaching that goal and adding it to our list of accomplishments. We overlook the fact that it may actually take hard work to get there. We forget that some days won’t go our way, a roadblock or obstacle may slow us down, or that somewhere in the midst of our journey to achieve that goal; forces beyond our control may step in to test our determination, faith and perseverance.

If you ask me, these tests are the times that make the achievement worthwhile. They give us a sense of true accomplishment and appreciation for standing our ground and finishing the course. So, no matter how discouraged we may become along the way. No matter how hard we hit that invisible wall. No matter how much it seems like those against us are getting the last word. You can do it. Whenever you have the will to push on and push through, you will find your way through it to that prize.

With all that said, I just want to encourage anyone who seems to be stuck in that tunnel of doubt, darkness, or discouragement. Don’t go through those trying times alone. Seek God for wisdom and strength. Seek family and friends for support. Pray. It won’t be easy but it is possible!
