Starting 2014 off right!

Life is tough.

There are many opportunities that will come your way... 
and in those times, you will succeed and you will fail.

It's easy to rejoice with the positive things in your life.

You find your dream job.
You find love and get married.
You have children and start a family.

When you fail, it's difficult to rejoice and be happy.  Often times, we find ourselves becoming discouraged, angry, and sometimes depressed.

In these times, we must remember that everything happens for a reason.

Out of every bad situation, comes something good.

I've fallen into both categories and have experienced a range of emotions throughout each opportunity I've been given.

I've found that remaining positive when things get tough allows you to feel better about everything.

You've lost your job.  Your marriage is failing.  You've had an injury.  You lost someone very close and dear to you.

All of these things are tragic and incredibly difficult times.  

It's okay to cry.  
It's okay to be angry.

But don't let those negative feelings consume your life.

God will never give us something we can't handle; even if it's so tough you don't think you'll make it until tomorrow.

You're wrong.  You will.

And the best part about that is.....

You'll be stronger.

Each day you'll be a stronger person and you'll be able to face anything that comes your way.

Life is tough.

But YOU are stronger.
