Just a thought:

Even if your resolve falters, remember how strong you are. You're stronger than you think. We all have a path, but depending on those obstacles, our resolve may be brought to the test.  Like a plant that grows towards the sunlight, you have the strength to refocus, regroup and move forward again.

  1. We never know what we can do until we are tested by life.

    A friend of mine always said God does not give you more than you can handle. She was very wise, I have found this to be true.

    I know I was tested when my father broke his hip and I had to look after him after he came home. I never knew I could do that until I had to. It wasn't easy, but the point is we got through it.

    1. You are absolutely right Randy that is true, most of us do manage when we are put to the test, but there are some who don't. I know people who struggle with life just by getting out of bed on a morning.

      It probably depends on what we've had to deal with in our early years as to whether our resolve is strong enough. Thanks for posting.

  2. It is an excellent way to view the world. We are stronger than we think. The problem is that others don't get that in their heads... and that is totally disappointing to us.

    Others just see our bodies, but they don't recognise that our heart and brain is normal. Thank you for posting.

    1. I totally understand you Junior, but what matters is you. As long as you have resolve to work through what you deal with, it doesn't matter about what others think about you.
