It's easy to be consumed by what is assumed to be the long road ahead. Our dreams and goals seem long in the distance, almost unattainable. Yet we forget the rugged hills we made it over to get to this very point. Sure you may not have arrived at that desired outcome, yet you are so much closer than you think.
While it seems like you may be in the midst of your greatest battle with no way through, give thanks. Yep those moments were intentionally designed to break you. To count you out. To eliminate your greatness from breaking through. But you are here. Give thanks.
When in the battle it's challenging to see the win. But know the fight is fixed. These things are only meant to sharpen your iron. Give thanks while you persevere through the storm. The mere fact that you are even still in the fight means you have so much worth fighting for. Give thanks, don't give in.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair. Persecuted but not forsaken. Cast down, but not destroyed. Give thanks. We are still here.
Today choose to walk in gratitude knowing that every ounce of your being in this moment is greater than you were yesterday and the day before and the day before. With a grateful heart know your present it creating a future beyond your wildest dreams. Give thanks. Gratitude says I know things are always necessarily good, yet I stand in appreciation and acceptance of the gift.
Appreciate the moment.
Practice mindfulness.
Be patient.
Practice kindness.
Know your light affliction is but a moment and is working something far more greater in you and for you. Show gratitude for that greater coming.
