WHEN THINGS GET DIFFICULT

Life can throw you some curves. And it's not just the things that you see coming, but sometimes it's the things you didn't see coming that hits you out of nowhere that sets you back in such a way that it seems like you can't get over it. And you've reached your limit. And your bandwidth is full. You already said, I can't take another thing, and then out of nowhere, here comes something you didn't see coming, and you're in it. And in your homes, somewhere in your heart, these words are echoing: Am I gonna make it? When you get into a tight spot, and everything goes against you until it seems that you cannot hold on for a minute longer, never give up then.

For that is just the space in time that the tide will turn. There are times when your energy feels so depleted, that you wanna give up, that it looks just totally impossible, and I can tell you from my own personal experience, don't give up then. That's when you've got to fall forward, when life is kicking dirt in your face. Don't give up then, that's when most people turn back. As long as you're alive there is hope. You're still alive. You're still here. It's never too late, and it's never too dark, and we can always turn things around. There's gonna be bad days, there's gonna be dark days, but you gotta embrace it. Because that pain is what makes you stronger. Pain is the high cost of growth. If you wanna grow up, you wanna be mature, there is no way to do it without pain. You can't grow up on easy street. And the very thing that discourages you, is the very thing that develops you. No one's coming to save you. No one's coming to save you, the only person that's gonna make a drastic change in your life, whether that's physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, the only person that is gonna dig you out of your whole is who? You. You have to do it for you. You've got to become courageous to stand up within yourself, to face it, and step forward. We all get a taste of that victim mentality, the why me. You can become the victim of the situation, or the victor of the situation.

You need to be the master of your emotions, not let them affect you. You're the dictator, you're the captain of your boat, whether you let things affect you in a negative way or a positive way. I don't lose. I only win or learn. In life, there's only winning or learning. All your problems become gifts once you learn from them. And some of you have allowed adversity to make you stop. And I'm telling you right now, don't give up, I'm telling you right now, don't give in, get through it. Execute, execute, execute. In the midst of adversity, execute. You're gonna work through this. You're gonna get up, you're gonna get dressed, you're gonna get out, and you're gonna do what you've been called to do, you're gonna be what you're called to be, and you're gonna prove to everybody that tried to break you, everybody that tried to kill your dream, you're gonna prove all of them wrong. And if you can work through your pain, I'm guaranteeing you, on the other side is a reward. Pain is not permanent. Pain is temporary.
