Keep Your Eyes on the Prize

When you walk down the sidewalk, do you acknowledge/discuss/become distraught at every piece of trash or debris you see? I don't. I see it, of course... But I walk around it, step over it or even kick it out of the way... And keep moving forward.  

When I work out, I don't get mad at the machines for causing me pain or discomfort, because I know it's necessary for me to reach my intended results.  Going to school, working towards promotions or owning businesses, taking care of a family, nurturing relationships.... All of these and more are complicated and oftentimes difficult commitments we take on REGARDLESS of the burdens that may come along with them. All because we somehow remain focused on the intended goal...degrees, large salaries, well rounded and successful children, etc.  

Treat your Life the same.  Don't focus on the woes and the blows....whether that's a situation, or a person.  Problems (including being hurt by people) are a necessary part of our existence, in order for us to grow and evolve into who God desires us to be.  

Don't allow your emotional energy to be wasted on WHAT you are going thru.  What's important is HOW and WHY you go through it.  Difficult does not equate to Impossible.  Falling down is inevitable... Staying down is Optional.

Until Next Time... D.D. Walker
