Never Give Up!

Today's post was submitted by my mother. Enjoy!

A lot of people fail to achieve their goals in life, because they don't push beyond the pain. When the doctors tell you that you need to exercise in order to maintain a healthy body, at first the task sounds so easy. Then the challenge comes. We see others doing it and we take on their attitude of achievement. However, we forget that the course gets lonely, so demanding and ultimately distracting. In order to achieve the goal, you have to look beyond the pain of feeling that you are alone, the pain that your physical strength and endurance is almost bleak. If you fail at achieving your goal due to a physical ailment, that is almost acceptable. If you fail to complete your goal, because you were hurting emotionally, how could you live with yourself afterward? You haven't lived up to your God given potential.

Remember, the race is not given to the swift, nor to the strong, but to him that endureth until the end.

God bless!
