The Journey Ahead

"I walked all these miles, I learned all these lessons.  It's as if my new life was the gift I got at the end of a long struggle." Cheryl Strayed

Throughout life we experience trials and tribulations; lessons and blessings.  The road maybe long and tough but the reward at the end is living a life you truly love.  With each test we experience we are accepting God's challenge to determine how strong we are and how far we have come.  If we hold fast to the road ahead knowing in our heart that this journey will lead us to where we were meant to be it will all be worth the extra stress.

Today's Challenge:  Take sometime today and reflect on an obstacle recently that you had to overcome.      While meditating on that obstacle don't focus too much on the problem, what was the blessing that you received from it.   Bask in the glow of that moment of victory.

  1. We always talk about celebrating even the smallest victories because they also matter. Recently, I had to exercise self control in a situation that could have clearly gone either way meaning good or otherwise. I realized that my daughter was looking at me and I decided to Let Go and Let God. This was a major blow to mu ego bit it gave me a chance to practice what I preach to my children, my clients, and anyone else that observes my actions. Our response to trials lets us know if we have truly grown or if there is still work to do.
