Have you ever had a week maybe even a month or a season in your life you felt like you were being tossed to and fro. You find yourself in a position in your life when you were handling things good or at least you were to your best ability and then there comes a big turnaround for not so good for you. Things start to pile and pile on you. Your emotions are affected and in results your mental health is disturbed. You aren’t really making decisions from a well thought out place or process, but your feelings start to guide your way. If you step out of what you’re going through for a moment and look at the picture from a different perspective without emotion, you will see it’s a tug-of-war. Will you have the strength to hold on even when the opposition is tugging hard? Will you have the strength to keep pulling towards better days, a better life, better choices, Greater, and Greatness? Will you hold tight the rope even if it’s hurting? Will you keep tugging for your peace, your joy, your future and present? Will you keep your feet planted as you pull through? Sometimes we are in a sport we are blinded to because we have become so tired, emotional, and overwhelmed that we don’t even notice we are in a tug-of-war. Now that this is realized, what are going to do? Today I encourage you to hold tight to the rope. Don’t let go. And discover your smile sometime today. 😊
