“Life may be foggy right now, but the sky will be blue again, the sun will shine again, the fog will lift away, and we will see clearly again.”
Hold on to Hope, For Hope Is All We Have
“We must look beyond our obstacles. We must look beyond the rejection. We must look beyond the failures. We must look beyond the fear. We must recognize that we have the power to disarm our obstacles and focus on that small glimpse of hope that we can see through our tears. We must never allow the enemy to block our vision of hope and we must hold on to that hope because hope is all we have. Hope enough to believe that, further along, it will all make sense. Hold on to hope, for hope is all we have.”
Don’t Stop Moving
“Behind every mountain, we find more mountains that we have to climb. There will always be more obstacles and bigger challenges that we have to face. We will always be fighting an uphill battle. The more we accomplish, the more things will stand in our way. But whatever you do don’t stop moving and never quit.” Uncle Paul
Stop Waiting for The Perfect Time. There isn’t One!
“There’s no such thing as perfect timing. If it feels right, just do it. Put your heart and soul into what you’ve got right in front of you. Stop waiting for it. If you want something, you have the power to create it. Stop waiting for the perfect time. There isn’t one! Now, is your time.” Uncle Paul
Sometimes We Win, and Sometimes We Lose.
“If we are to move forward in life, we must atsome point in life, close the door, play a different song, clean the house, get rid of the dust, stop being who we were and become who we are. That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut them loose. You see, it is when life challenges us to our core that we have to go deep inside ourselves to find who we really are destined to be.”
Taking the easy road won’t grow you.
“ Taking the easy road won’t grow you, sometimes you have to take life’s detours, and go, not knowing, but walking in faith, believing that it is all going to work out for your good.”
Sometimes You Got To Release It And Let It Go
“Today I Choose To Let You Go And To Start The Process Of Rediscovering Myself” Uncle Paul
Be Thankful for What You Already Have
“I MAY NOT HAVE MUCH BUT WHAT I DO HAVE I AM THANKFUL” Uncle Paul
Don’t be scared of being a struggler.
“We all face our own version of struggle. So, think it not strange that you are struggling now. Struggling is not strange or unusual, it is an unavoidable part of life’s journey. If you are struggling, embrace it, accept it and be prepared to live with it, because it is a normal part of life. There is nothing you can do about it, but to keep pushing forward and never let your difficulties stop you. We have to push through them and let them do what it is supposed to do and just move on.”
Uncle Paul
Learn How To Use Your Struggles
“Never discard your struggles, use them like a scrapbook, to look back on when you’ve gotten to your final destination. You will one day be able to look back and realize that without them, you wouldn't be where you are, or who you are today.” Uncle Paul
Struggle Is Not A Bad Word
“Every road that we travel down is assigned its own struggle. Every task that we work on requires its own hard work and sweat. We have to put in the hard work. We should never feel entitled to anything that we don’t put our hand to the plow to accomplish. We just can’t sit back, relax, reap the rewards and do nothing. We must pass through the struggle on our way to our success. Every journey is its own struggle, and each struggle comes with its own DNA, specially designed for each situation. The word struggle is not a bad word, and it’s okay to be in a place of struggle. Why? Because if we are struggling, we are growing, we are evolving; we are expanding, we are making progress. Remember this; struggles are not failures. They're just hiccups that ultimately assist us on our journey to our dreams.” Uncle Paul
Our Struggles Have Purpose
“If we are to grow in life, then we must be prepared to struggle. Real growth comes only through continuous struggle and determination. Without going through periods of hard work, sweat and difficulty, we would not be able to move beyond our current level of evolution. In a sense, our struggle is the training ground that prepares us for the next step. The moment we stop struggling, is the moment, that we stop growing. So, when Mr. Struggle, knocks on your doors, answer it, for he is there to grow you.”
YOU GOT TO PASS THROUGH THE STRUGGLE
“We all face struggles, and it is an unavoidable part of life. Life teaches us that nothing ever comes easy when you are trying to pursue your dreams and goals. When you are building towards your dreams, difficulties and hardship are like twins who are constant companions. You are not the first to struggle, there have been many people before you. They have all passed through a similar struggle, as you are doing now. So, when you get close to giving up, when you want to quit, when the journey that has chosen you, becomes difficult. You must remind yourself, of those that struggled before you and how they made it through. Though your current struggle may be painful, in the end, when you are victorious, you will be able to stand and say, it may have been difficult, but it was worth it.” Uncle Paul
There is a lesson to be learned from our struggles.
“How many times have you been on a roll, and everything seems to be smooth sailing, and suddenly you find yourself standing on the corner of struggle street again? Life teaches us that you can’t have success without struggles. So, when struggles come, we must find the courage to rise to the challenge rather than letting it defeat you. After all, you are bigger and better than any challenge or obstacle that life throws at you. We cannot give up, we have to battle through the hard times, and we can’t let life’s struggles get the best of us. When you find yourself struggling, you must ask yourself, what is the deeper meaning to it all, because there is a lesson to be learned from our struggles. So, don’t give up now just because it’s a struggle at the present moment, instead keep your head held high and keep moving forward.” Uncle Paul
Stop Waiting For The Better, Live In The Now.
“Stop waiting for better opportunities, what you have in front of you, is the best opportunity that you are going to have today. You see, we spend too much time waiting for perfection, if you wait for the right time, you will be waiting for the rest of your life. Stop sitting around waiting to live your best life, just live it today and just do your best with what you have today, and then, improve your today on your tomorrow. Your blessings are not in tomorrow’s opportunities, but into the opportunities, we have right in front of us today. Stop waiting, put your heart and soul into what you have in front of you right now. Remember this; life is short, embrace life and all that it entails today, for there might not be a tomorrow.” Uncle Paul
There is beauty in our imperfections.
“We all have flaws, so stop looking for and expecting perfect. We are all imperfect beings filled with flaws and imperfections. It is always easier to point out other people’s weaknesses and somehow denying our own. When faced with rediscovering ourselves, we try to avoid embracing our flaws and shove them under a smile or some makeup and hope no one notices our brokenness. At some point in life, we must let go of who we think we should be and accept who we are. Remember this, there is beauty in our imperfections, and that is what makes us unique.” Uncle Paul
You Got To Get Back Up
We all make mistakes in life, and we all have experienced personal failures. There will be times when it seems like everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong. Life has taught me that, life’s best lesson usually come right after I’ve made my biggest mistake. Failure is not fatal it’s temporary. When things go wrong, and you feel like you are stuck, and you are ready to quit, remember this, sometimes things have to go wrong before they can be right. Sometimes you have to go through the worst, to arrive at your great. When life knocks you down, don’t be afraid to get back up and try again. Don’t let life’s hard lessons change the trajectory of your life. We can never avoid pain, but we can let our pain grow us.”
We All Have Issues
“We often spend too much time trying to fix other people, that we forget to focus on the things that are within ourselves that need to be repaired. So, we make other people our problem, but when we start to live from the inside out, that’s when we awaken the sleeping giant of the unresolved issues within. For many of us, it’s hard to talk about those unresolved issues, because that means we have to take responsibility for them. Until we look within ourselves and start repairing our unresolved issues, the healing of our wounds cannot begin. Until we work on ourselves, everybody will remain our problems, and the fragmented parts of our brokenness will remain. Look within and heal thou self-first.”
Everything in life is temporary.
“Life is nothing more than a series of temporary events, and we must learn to let things flow with the natural current of life.” Uncle Paul
Our scars are symbols of our strength.
“We have all been through somethings in life, and some of those things left us with scars. What we need to understand is that our scars have a meaning. Our scars mean that the hurt is over, and the wound is closed. Our scars indicate, we have conquered the pain, we have learned a lesson, we have grown stronger, and we have moved forward. Our scars mean that out of our suffering we have emerged a stronger soul. Our scars indicate that we survived. Our scars indicate that we made it. Remember this, you can’t make your scars of life disappear, but you can change the way you see them. Your scars are not a sign of pain, but a tattoo of strength and victory.”
