You May Be DOWN, But YOU’RE Not OUT.

Sometimes when life knocks us down, we feel as if we have been ejected from the game of life. We feel like the game is over. Then we quickly realize, that even though we are facing challenging times in our lives, it doesn’t mean the end of the world. You see, others have survived some of the same things that we are going through. Some, even more, traumatic and painful and yet, they survived it and somehow found the strength to go on and not give up.

Though the storm waters of life, have come rushing in like a flood, we must find the courage to rebuild our lives. For when life’s challenges come our way, we must remember that this moment is just temporary. Even though the winds of life may push you back a few steps, you must keep walking towards the storm. Because with each step we make, we are becoming stronger.

Even though we may feel like it can’t get better, it will. When we look back over our lives, when it looked like, things in our lives are out of control, and it looked like we cannot survive them, what we were going through. But, we did, we moved forward, we survived it.

So, when life knocks us down, we must find the power to overcome our setback and remind ourselves, if we survived the storms of life before, surely, we can, and we will overcome them again. Remember this, today, we may fall down, but we always get back up again on tomorrow. It’s just a thought. Paul Steven Smith (Uncle Paul) www.unclepaulsthoughts.com
