Regardless of what goals we have, we all come across moments where we seem so far yet so close to them. Recently, I posted a status on my facebook about how it is when I am the closest to my goals that I feel the farthest. For some time now I have been aiming to become a healthier eater and shed off some pounds, to be honest. I need to be able to lose some weight and so far I know that I have been able to shed some of it off but I feel as if, regardless of what I do, no change is seen. What a struggle we have many times in life, everything seems to require some amount of faith in order for us to believe it. I stand at a cross roads and I need to tell myself, you must continue. You mustn't let your eyes deceive you because it is when we feel like we can't that we actually really can. It is in my weakness that GOD's strength can be manifested.
I may not always know my strength and I may sometimes look at my situation and say I will never see change but I need to remain positive. I won't be able to see the fruits of my efforts unless I persevere. Without perseverance we will lose out on seeing the results of all our efforts. Never, ever give up. Regardless of what negative thought may come into your mind, you must stand against it in God's name and claim your goal. It is not enough to write it down, we must also act upon it. People didn't make headlines by just dreaming, no one is able to read your mind. WE must act upon our dreams and goals and persevere so that others may see with their own eyes.
Today, I want to claim victory in our lives. May we stand strong against negativity. Let us not allow discouragement to take over our dreams. Whatever time it may take, whatever cost it will have, let us be willing to persevere and overcome the obstacles that we may see. Let not our eyes deviate us but let our hearts guide us. I know that it is our time to do what we need to do. Stand strong against adversity and stand your ground. I know that I will see the results and that regardless of what may come my way I will stick to my goals.
We'll make it happen. =)
