It Always Seems Impossible Until It’s Done


One of the easiest decisions a person can make is to give up in face of adversity. But that’s the problem- it’s the easy way out. I know it’s difficult to face challenges that seem impossible to overcome, and choosing to stop trying to beat them would save you a lot of time and stress. But where would you be in life if you always threw in the towel and didn’t push yourself to overcome adversity? You’d be stuck in the past because you only got to where you are now by persevering against tough odds. We are meant to grow as human beings and this is just one of the unfortunate steps along the way because adversity is impossible to avoid. So are you going to secure the bag, or fumble it?

November Release: Overcoming Adversity

Facing challenges and obstacles in life is a given; you can't avoid them. But just because you will continue to face adversity doesn't mean:
1) They're impossible to overcome
2) Their sole purpose is to cause you grief
3) You won't get past them

Even though it may be difficult to see and/or understand now - trust me, I know - it's actually a good thing for us to go through these trials in life because they serve a bigger purpose for us down the line. You just have to see them through to witness it all come full circle.

So my next post, to be released this week, will focus on overcoming adversity and what it means for your life.

Happy Thanksgiving Readers

This holiday season, we should use it as a time to remember the things we are thankful for in our lives. We all have something to be thankful for - scratch that, we all have THINGS (plural) to be thankful for - and we should use this day to reflect on that. Obviously, being thankful shouldn't just happen once a year and definitely shouldn't need a holiday for us to do it. However, it's a day dedicated to just that and we should treat it as such.

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
