Keep the Positive flow.

Time and time again we are struck with adversity and we can not seem to get past the idea that we are not going to make it through the difficult situation.  The thing is, that is NOT true, you CAN, and you WILL make it through whatever situation it is that you are going through.  Many times we forget that rough patches in our life are not forever, but we can't just sit around and expect things to get better, in order for things to get better we have to get up and make it happen.  

In this life we have a purpose, and in order to fulfill that purpose we have to work had to make it happen.  Things don't just happen. Nothing in this world is just handed to anyone, unless you're receiving inheritance from a rich family, but sadly, that is not the case for most of us.

In my own life, I have been struck by adversity.  I was told that I would not make it through high school at the early age of 5, I was just a kindergartener then and my teacher felt the need to tell my parents this information.  I was struck with adversity in my life when I was told I would fail the 2nd grade if my reading levels were not improved, and then again when I was told I wouldn't be able to pass my writing exam in the 5th grade.  I did not let the struggles get to me though, I continued to work hard toward the goal, and I made it through it. I passed, not only did I pass these objects but I made the A.  So hard work can get you to whatever it is that you want to be.  As a child, I also was considered "special" because I had a speech impediment, well after working side by side with an instructor everyday for 3 years in elementary school, you could never tell now that I ever had a problem pronouncing words correctly or speaking in general.

Before high school, you could of never gotten me to jump out of my chair and give a presentation, but after practice and working on it, it became something that was easy and fun for me to do,   You see, adversity is only the ways world of reminding us that we are human and that we can't just expect to be great at everything or to flow through life easily.  Even the river with the smoothest flow has a bumpy path every now and then.  We are only human and we will always have hurdles and obstacles to jump.

Tell me something though, if you were in track and field and you were in the jumping hurdle event, would you jump or would you just stop in front of it and not finish the race? No, you wouldn't. You would be trained and well practiced to jump.  It might take a little more work then running the straight path that has nothing to make you work a little harder but that's what makes the difference between one who is successful and one who is not.  

The one who is successful does not sit and cry at the site of adversity, rather they observe the situation and take the required steps needed in order to get where they want to.  That is how you become someone in this world. You work hard and you jump the hurdles that are placed in front of your path. You don't just let them stop you and you don't just beat around them. No. That does not help you grow as a person.

You can Hem and Ha all day, but you will never become somebody until you stop the Hem and the Haing and work hard to become someone.  Life is beautiful, and it has a lot to offer you. You just have to be ready to face the challenges that come with it.

YOU CAN DO IT.
