Don’t Stop

In this life there are hard times. There will be mountains you must climb. There is going to be an obstacle that you see no way around. Just keep pushing forward. “You only fail if you stop trying”. I have seen that quote a lot over the years attributed to different people, and it has never stopped being true.

I have been through times in my life where I have had to struggle, I have gone into tomorrow not knowing how I would make it through another day. I wanted to give up so many times. God I’m not strong enough. God I’m not smart enough. God I’m the wrong person for this job. God you picked the wrong one. As long as I lived in that place of doubt I was exactly right. Henry Ford said “if you think you can, or if you think you can’t, you’re right”.

That doubt I was in was merely fear. Fear has prevented good people from doing amazing things. Fear has started wars, caused hatred to spread, and prevented happiness in so many situations. Fear has been the catalyst for genocide, homicide, and suicide many times over throughout civilization. Most importantly fear is a liar.

Fear says you can’t, God says you can. Fear says you won’t, God says you will. Fear says forgotten, God says forgiven. Fear says you’ll never be good enough, God says you have always been. Fear says you’ll never win, God says you’ve already won.

No matter what fear says don’t stop pushing forward, don’t stop trying, don’t stop looking for happiness, and don’t stop loving people. Whether you are a glass half full or a glass half empty person, never forget God will allow blessings to overflow your glass as long as you Don’t Stop.

I love you.
