When trying to achieve, one can sometimes get weighed down in the process but consequently building success takes strength, stamina, and sacrifice to push aside those weights.

Regrettably,  moments of exhaustion weighed against current progress and reward can make it all seem impossible and unnecessary.

These very moments lead many to question resolve and vision; leading them to entertain thoughts of un-surety.

The looming question, “why”, searches purpose, looking for flaws and  reasons to give up.

In such circumstances, one can  frequently find himself or herself evaluating the worthiness of the day-to- day grind.

 Unbeknownst to many, this is where defeat commences.

While one has not yet ceased to move forward, one begins to slow down.

Don’t slow down!

I urge you to denounce these thoughts and refuse to sow seeds of doubt. 

Temporary hardships and difficulties can blind us. However, we only need a moment of rationality; a moment to look beyond ourselves to bring us back, to give us the energy to refocus and push all the harder.

Some wise man once said

Take a moment to look around, remind yourself of your blessings, and what it took to get you where you are now.  I assure you that what we are going through, to get to what we desire to do, is incomparable in weight to what we are going to accomplish.

Today take the time to look beyond yourself, count your blessings,  and reenergize to move forward.

This is your year.
