Pressure: Stay the Course
Wow! Life is hard. There’s no roadmap. There’s no hidden answers. There’s no wizard behind a curtain. There’s just the pressure of wanting to get it right. Wanting to get it right for yourself, your significant other, your children, your friends, your co-workers...your future. Everyday I wake up I can only hope that I’m doing everything right. The one thing I can guarantee is I’m doing the best I can.
When faced with hardships and hard decisions you not only wonder why it’s happening to you but you question whether or not you can withstand the storm. I have been faced with some doozies in my 32 years but what I can say is if we hang in there a little while longer we push through.
This week has been an overall disappointing week. Not for me personally but for me vicariously. I’ve fasted for the last 21 days and this week I’ve been extremely emotional. I really can’t explain this feeling in my stomach. Things are happening all around me to the people I love and there’s very little I can do to shield them from the storm. I have found myself over the last few weeks saying “hang in there, keep pushing, and it’s not you.” Today my entire spirit was shaken and I knew immediately I needed to write. I needed to write and say to whomever is reading STAY THE COURSE. You’re getting it right. The pressure is so heavy right now and the storm is so strong but stay the course. It may seem unbearable and you may feel alone but trust me there’s purpose. Even though you can’t see the reason and the sunlight through the pain and gray skies your better day is upon you. Pay attention to the signs, don’t force it, and trust your instincts because wherever you’re being led there’s more love, more peace, more understanding, and an abundance of growth. So yes finances aren’t looking good, your kid isn’t doing well in school, your relationship didn’t work out, and work is a disaster but don’t let IT, SHE, or HE break you! I wish so bad I could take this pain away from you but it’s a storm that’s meant for you to concur. It’s okay to cry but don’t stop praying and working towards your purpose. I may not feel exactly what you feel but this emptiness in the pit of my stomach let’s me know that I’m experiencing it with you and I’m rooting for you.
Yes, life is hard...the pressure is suffocating but take pride in the fact that you’re doing the best you can. You’re still here and you will survive. Stay the course.
