Things in Life are Challenging

PERFECT DREAM.

We all have this picture perfect dream of what our lives should look like. We want everything to line up the way we want and nothing to set us back. We want our lives to check all the boxes of success, happiness and popularity. We want to be seen.

We desire to have the most social media followers. We strive to have the most picture perfect vacations with the ones we love. We want to have the perfect family that never fights or argues. We want to never get sick or tired. We want, we want, we want.

CHALLENGES ARISE.

When life gets challenging we want to give up and quit. We want to return home to where we feel safe and secure. We all have someplace that is our home base where we know we will be safe and secure. When we are out in new territory and facing new circumstances and things aren’t going our way it can be a terrifying experience. We can feel threatened and on edge. This stress and anxiety can break us down to the point we don’t want to move forward. So what is there for us to do?

When things get tough we need to keep our head up. Don’t let your current circumstances hold you down. It’s easy to lose sight of where your final destination is when the turmoils of the moment are blinding you with the winds and storms of life. It’s easier to look back once you have arrived and see how every challenge and struggle helped you get to where you are. That’s why there is the quote, “hindsight is 20 / 20”. This statement couldn’t be more true. And it’s a great reminder to ourselves to trust the process of life and know that the outcome we desire may not be what is best for us.

Now if we can’t see the good in our situations until the end how to we push on through? It’s not easy to do but it’s also not impossible. We first need to trust the process. Know that the one who created us is always there with us. He wants what’s best for us and will allow us to go through challenging times in order to strengthen our trust in Him. This isn’t easy but there is comfort knowing there is someone out there much greater than we are.

CHALLENGES ARE REAL.

We all face them and come through them. Even when we struggle and feel stumped we are growing because of the challenges we face. A famous song lyric states that, “What doesn’t kill me makes me strong”. This may be a feel good lyric but I see some truth in it. The things we face and push us to our limits are the exact things that help us become stronger humans.

If life were always easy then we wouldn’t learn how to survive or make difficult choices. We wouldn’t be learning or growing. Challenges are an important part of the human experience. Without them who would we be?

RESOLUTION.

We must trust that in the end everything will work out for the best. We have very little control over our lives and tomorrow is never guaranteed. But if we take each day as another stepping stone in life we can have a life we enjoy living.
