Do you ever have those moments where you just want to give up? You tend to question everything that occurs, whether it be good or bad. Maybe when things start going well, you always find the negativity and suspect that something may go wrong. There are many things that you would like to happen differently, but it seems like you have been cursed with failure or no light at the end of the tunnel. It seems like giving up is the easiest thing to do, but is it the right thing?

When so much stress has accumulated in a time frame, you have built nothing but strength. Strength is what you gain from continuing to push through and defeat whatever trials and tribulations you have experienced. I know you want to pull your hair out and cry, but just remember what you are striving for. I understand if you are already exhausted, mentally and physically, motivation tends to runs thin real fast.

When you work hard, you want things to flow easily and expect things to get better. I get it. No matter how much good happens, it only takes one thing to knock you off course. Everything has fallen apart and will not get better. That is how life is. When one thing falls apart, it seems like everything has taken a toll for the worst. It's like a domino effect. Each piece knocking down everything you have going on and you are left with nothing. What do you have to do? Either start over or give up.

Your mind and its thoughts are probably not making you feel any better. When we get in a dark place, your thoughts just focus on the bad and what-if scenarios. No positivity or encouragement and that creates inner chaos.

Sweetheart, I know it is hard. You cry every night and you feel alone, because you feel like you are doing what you're suppose to. I know it is easier said than done. Trust me, I would love to take my own advice when events like this occurs. Have the faith, continue to build mental and physical strength throughout the darkness. You will make it to the finish line and be the happiest you can be.

Do not let anyone or anything knock you down and off course.
