Good evening! Wednesday blog! Persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay! Hang in there! Do not give up! Finish your journey in this life! We do not know how our journey is going to end, but we can keep steering it on the right path! I know for me, I need to step back and breathe! We are on this earth to run our race to the finish line! Denny and I are in a race, one that if asked we would have said no! That’s not how it works! Whatever, keep running, it will be worth it in the end! We have to train ourselves continually for the many races in this life! You know, I have burned more than one tray of cookies, did I give up baking cookies? No! If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! Good advice! Early birds get the worms! Don’t keep looking back! That just creates anxiety, pain and bewilderment! Not the way God planned for us! Make changes moving forward, that creates happiness, positive thinking and joy! Run to finish the race in all areas of life! Do it with a smile! Be your own coach! If you still can’t figure it out, seek help! You are not weak! It takes strength to reach out! Teachers, Deans, counselors, therapists, life coaches, ministers! Countless ways to keep moving forward in your race! Just don’t quit, don’t give up! Even if you have no cheerleaders, no support, do it for you! I did not do anything to help myself, I hit the bottom of the barrel at 63! I hit a brick wall, with nowhere to turn! God does help those that help themselves! You have to be ready to want change! You can’t do it all overnight! I like to say baby steps! One day at a time! My therapists example was, if you have a mountain of bills, it’s overwhelming! If you take one bill at a time, your mountain starts to get smaller! It’s true with anything! Stay on course, run your race to be the best you can be! If no one praises you in this life, keep doing right for you, you are worth it! God will say well done! Have a great evening! God bless!❤️🤗🤗❤️
