Do you ever feel defeated before you
begin?
There is not a conspiracy to give you every problem imaginable and then watch you squirm.
There is not a plot to drive you crazy. It is life…with all its terror, scars,
and humiliation. But it is the only one you have.
Do you ever wonder how strong that
person is in the mirror?
Many times
over, you have gazed at towering obstacles that seemed too looming to overcome.
Yet you stood your ground and showed the giant you are much more than a
shepherd.
Do you ever imagine a world without
conflict; a world without fear?
Every day you wake up, hurdles stare you down. Even running the race with perseverance is not
enough…the hurdles throw an extra dose of frustration in your path. Get over
them.
Do you ever see yourself as the one
who feels like they must bear every burden?
Like a scene
is wondrous fantasy movie, you are the ring-bearer, the keeper of peace, the
one who is promised, the martyr and the savior. But you were never meant to
save the world, only yourself.
Do you ever realize that you are
strong enough to face any obstacle with poise and grace?
Reluctance
is a blessing. Fear a powerful weapon. Frustration a pointed dagger. Use your
doubts to conquer these obstacles and emerge triumphant.
Do you ever think about the reality
that, if you are not strong enough, there are many who will bear the load with
you?
You always
feel like you are one against an army. But an army of one never won a single
battle. Depend on the strengths of others and follow the blazing path they have
forged. Because you are the only person that can allow yourself to be defeated.
Never give an inch to worry, a foothold to despair. Your weakness is multiplied
by the power of love.
