This is me….on a giant fallen tree…standing on my hards. YUP, I was terrified getting up there and throwing my feet into the air hoping that my feet would catch something to balance on….relying on my balance to keep me from falling because I couldn’t see where my feet were really headed. Look closer at the tree…the roots have been torn from the ground by something more powerful than the tree could stand.
How many times in our lives has life gone other than planned and we felt like our whole world has been uprooted and we have fallen in defeat? Something stronger than what we could handle came our way and we just weren’t strong enough. You are not alone. You could have felt that way a long time ago…feel that way now, or you could feel that way at some point in the future. Here’s the thing….just because you’ve fallen and life is down does NOT mean it’s over or will stay that way. I’ve personally been through terrible things in life that no one should have to endure, but it happened…….and I survived! I now move forward into a career that can help others balance their own lives and difficulties. Live your BEST life! Don’t stay in the pain…..or excuses….or in the defeat…or the fear.
Start Climbing! Find the small victories again. It is still going to hurt and be hard, but the good thing is that it get’s better and you get stronger. We’ve hear that SOOO many times (It’ll get better), but that is the hope in our rough situations. God does not leave us where we are. Growth is something that is continuously moving and developing. In order to grow and get stronger you have to keep going. You have to push through the pain.
Find what scares you…..holds you back….get’s you down and CONQUER IT! Y’all….just for this picture I was terrified hahaha but I did it and it wasn’t as bad as I thought. That’s the thing though……our thoughts. What are your thoughts telling you that’s holding you back? …..You’ll get hurt? ….It’s going to be too hard? ……What if I fail? …..What if I fall?
Yah, well what if you don’t? What would happen if you actually succeed? You’ll no longer be help back and that can be scary too. It’s a balancing act y’all!
Don’t hold on to the exact things that are holding you back because they are comfortable to you. You are worth and capable of SO MUCH MORE!!!!
Find you’re strength from within….not your limits
