When the world is spinning wildly out of control, when the mountains are crumbling and the earth under your feet is quaking….
Don’t Give Up
When the fiercest of storms is billowing outside your windows and the waves are crashing down on your feet; When the roof is caving in and the end is no where in sight?
Don’t Give Up
When the diagnosis is what you feared the most? When the doctors and nurses surround you with somber faces and quiet tones and whispers of “I’m sorry”?
Don’t You Dare Give Up
When the home you worked so hard for is taken for a loss; when the bills are piling up and the bank account is dwindling down; when there are mouths to feed and bodies to nourish?
Don’t Give Up
When he walks out that door for the last time and doesn’t look back, when he leaves your arms for another woman’s bed, when he forsakes all the promises he once gave to you?
Don’t Even Think about Giving Up
When you find yourself alone and scared and uncertain about what the next weeks, months and years might look like?
Don’t Give Up
Every person will reach a breaking point, a moment in time that seems unbearable, un-passable, unexplainable with too much burden to bear. But in the dark? In the struggle and the chaos and the uncertainty, that is exactly the moment when the battle is being fought. In the quiet unknown is where the character is being built and integrity is refined and the soul strengthened. And in the fire? That is where your fate will flourish…but only if you choose to Never Give Up.
So keep going. Keep pushing forward. Every day. Every morning when the alarm clock sounds and the sun rises and the difficulties knock on the door, keep moving forward. Because as long as you are pressing on, one day all the struggles of today will be nothing more than the story of your yesterday.
Don’t Give Up
“It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.” Aristotle
