Almost There

Some days, as a mere human, you sit and wonder why it feels you run around in circles over and over again, achieving little or nothing. You reach out for a handful of dreams and find when you open your hands nothing but thorns…or even worse, just air. Why would air be worse, you ask? At least if you’re bleeding from the thorns, you know that at some point in time, there were and will be roses, so there is hope.

Some days feel like a walk in a desert full of mirages. Those days feel like no matter what you do, you just can’t catch a break. Some days feel like the chill of winter in the awesomeness of Spring. You see the beauty around you but can’t seem to take it in and fully enjoy it as you should.

Some days, you wonder if it was all worth it. Were they only pipe dreams? Or, is there truly a light at the end of the tunnel? Some days are just for wandering, while others are full of adventure. Some are full of victories, while others are full of defeat. Some days are full of laughter, while others are full of tears.

In the long run, there is hope for each new day. We’ve been given the power to turn our lows to highs. All we go through and walk through are but for a moment. The ups and downs are necessary. They toughen us, make us strong, and help us realize we aren’t alone. We can take flight or choose to lick our wounds and never try again. It’s our choice, and they (whomever that may be to you) are watching us.

Don’t wait around for anyone else to pick you up. Wipe the dew out of your eyes, dust yourself off, find your bearing, and purpose in your heart that no matter what life throws your way, you will win. Breakthroughs occur when you take one step in faith at a time. Be your own cheerleader in that stadium of obstacles. You can do it. You can make it. Just keep pushing through. You’re not alone. You’re almost there.
