When you go through a storm, God is always after something. He always intends to draw something out of you that you may have buried deep inside--whether good or bad. Sometimes, our storms come to expose the areas in us that need fixing. Other times, our tests and trials are meant to show us just how strong, resilient, and capable we are.
Whatever the case, I admonish you to never give up before you know how the story ends. Whatever you do in your life, it takes focus and fortitude.
Focus- You have to zone in on what you really want out of life and go after it with everything. Don't let anything or anyone discourage you. Although everyone won't believe in your ability, and circumstances won't always feel conducive to success, don't get distracted. Remember, don't ever allow adversity to steer you away from your passion--never.
Fortitude- You have to have strength, courage, resolve, and resilience. Never say never. When all the odds seem stacked against you, still say, "I can". Tell yourself over and over again that there's nothing too hard for God, and there's nothing too hard for you, because God lives in you.
Before I go, I want you to think about something. This year is almost gone. Time waits for no one. We all have the same amount of hours in a day. It's not about how much time you have; it's about how you use it. So, whatever you may be going through, don't sit idly by and quit. Instead, fight for your destiny. Fight for your future. Fight for your dream.
God already promised that you would win.
Until next time... may you be empowered to prosper!
