Sometimes you have to give yourself a little pep talk.
Life is full of challenges, disappointments, and uncertainties. We are either facing trouble, in trouble, or coming out of trouble.
On the other side of that is beauty. Life offers great beauty: joy, laughter, memories, accomplishments, experiences, fulfillment, gratitude, and so much more.
When faced with adversity we all have a choice. We can choose to face it head on with resilience, or bow down to it. How we handle life's trials and tribulations determines our success and failure.
For too long I allowed my circumstances and other people to dictate my happiness. I had to change my mindset. I had to let some people go. Was it painful? Absolutely!!! But I couldn't allow those people or those things to become my destiny.
There are going to be days when it may be really tough to see the end goal. Yet, no matter what things may look like to the naked eye, choose to believe God for what seems impossible.
I am going to keep going, believing that I can walk on water. I encourage you to do the same.
