Cold, Barren, Broken; Climb the Mountain

It is a new day; the same struggle may seem to persist, but you can face it differently this time.

Instead of telling yourself it's always the same, remind yourself of how strong you've become, what you have learned, and how you've grown.

Realize that you still stand in the morning, and wage war against the thoughts that tell you to submit, yield, and surrender.

You are not ordinary; you are not like anyone. You are destined for more, for greater. That dream in your heart, that vision in your mind. The one you always come back to when your way didn't work, the one that brings you joy to consider.

That is you, your calling, your purpose. It's what makes you, you. Chase it, seek it, find it.

So when life pushes, push harder; be intentional, persist, and persevere.

The Good Morsel

Whatever brings you low wants to keep you there; will you let it?
