It's tough enough
It’s
tough – trust me I know. How often do you raise your eyes to the heavens and
whisper in near despair – “When will it be my turn?!” It’s moments like that
when I’m reminded of the old saying, “When the going gets tough, the tough get
going”.
When
we are feeling the edge of that kind of despair, or hopelessness that is the moment
that we have to shake ourselves and come back to where we need to be. It is so
easy when we start feeling like this to give up those things that will help us
most. In that hour of need, it is so easy to turn away from God, or worse to
even BLAME God. It’s so easy to forget about our choices. When we get
overwhelmed, we can so easily switch over to default mode and just ride the
rapids; if we’re lucky we’ll just get over turned, but will come out in the
calmer water without being too bloody or broken.
It
is in those moments however that you have to focus and really pay attention.
Make the right choices. DON’T give up hope, and never turn away from or blame
God. It is during these moments when the tough have to get going. If you can’t
do it by yourself, reach out and get help. This is where your coach can come in
handy if you have no one else. One thing is for certain. You can ride these
rapids, you certainly will get wet… but you don’t have to over turn and you
clearly do not have to get bloodied and broken.
