WORTHACHARM

Life comes with many challenges and they will not always be easy. Obstacles will happen and experiences will be uncomfortable. Some relationships will grow and some will die.

Part of the process comes with challenges in our life that can consist of transitioning:

• from one job to another
• from one school to another
• moving from city to city
• to a new season/ chapter

Life gives us:

• the want to give up

Starting a new chapter in your life, a job, or a new school can be a little rocky in the beginning and will give you the desire to give up. You may feel like you cannot handle the new experiences of your life, or they are too uncomfortable for you. Some situations can be too tough or overwhelming. You may feel like throwing in the towel. You may think your new job or school is not what you thought it would be, and you are ready to quit or transfer. Sometimes we get discouraged when it comes to our jobs because we feel like we are not doing enough, or you feel like you are not making any progress. School can get discouraging when we feel like we are not doing enough or our best isn’t enough. BUT you need to know that you are doing enough, probably more than enough. You’re on the right track, just keep working hard and don’t give up.

A lot of times we become instantly uncomfortable and won’t give new experiences a chance. A new chapter or new season is not going to be everything you want it to be in the beginning. If you push through the obstacles and stay strong, then everything will eventually fall into place. Now, some jobs or schools are honestly not for us and sometimes it is best for us to transfer and start a new journey somewhere else. The desire to give up is a part of life, but we have to stay focus and believe that we are capable of getting through. Life can be overbearing and you feel like you had enough, but most of the time when you are just about to give up is when a miracle is about to happen. We may lose focus and get off track, but we must remain focus and remember why we started. We came too far to give up now. Plus, we are never put in situations that we cannot handle. Hang in there, you got this!

• Experiences

Experiences are going to happen whether they are good or bad. You had some really good experiences where you had the time of your life, then you had some really rough experiences where you didn’t think you will ever make it through. In life, they are going to be ups and downs. Even though we wish life is always up, but life doesn’t work like that. Some of us have always experience downs in our life and I must say if you have you are a strong person. Going through rough experiences is not easy and it can be depressing. We all go through horrible storms and we get tired of going through them. But storms are the trials in our life and we will get through them. Believe, or continue to believe that you will get through them and fight the will of giving up. We have to work through the hard times and keep our head up, even when we are tired. It is very frustrating and overwhelming, but your best experiences are yet to come. I can understand that going through tough experiences can be hard to find a positive light, but you cannot let this experience defeat you. You may feel lonely and feel like no one understands, but sometimes you have to depend on yourself to give you that push. It’s not easy to beat tough situations, but you must know everything comes to pass. This depressing experience will come to pass, you will get through it. You have to make the decision to fight through it and uplift yourself to help yourself through it.

• Connections and Opportunities

Life brings you connections and relationships. You will meet people along the way that will be beneficial to your life. You never know who you may run into and if that person or thing will be the best thing that happened in your life or it could be the worse. Some people or things may help you find your purpose in life. Sometimes the right person or opportunity comes at the right time. Now, connections can take you a long way in life, but not all connections are good connections. They may get where you want to be, but you cannot always depend on them. They may have helped you get there, but what are you going to do with the opportunity once you are there? With opportunities, we have to step out and go for it. It is apart of life to take that risk and go for it.

While some relationships may bring out the best in you, and some are only here for a season, and that is okay. Not everyone can go with you on your journey of life. You have to let go of some people and continue on with your life. Once again it will not be easy, but there is no reason to drag out a dead relationship. Some of us may experience heartbreaks from relationships and I can’t tell you why they happened, but I can say sometimes its part of the process to make us stronger.

Life is something we will never understand. Life is hard, it is not meant to be easy. Your life is up to you though, you have to make the right decisions for your life. You have to look at your life and decide what direction you want to go. Not everything will go the way you want in life. Life will bring you pain, but it will also bring you happiness. You must be ready to step in a new season knowing it may not be a smooth process, but you will get through. You can beat the obstacles in life. You will succeed in this thing call life! Believe, stay focus, be strong, work hard, and create new results.

Now as we enter in this new year, I hope there are better experiences for you and more opportunities. I hope you will fight the urge of giving up and keep going when life gets tough!
