A Step Forward

Lately I've realized that in order to take a step forward, you need to take a step back and check yourself. You need to look at yourself from the inside out. What eats away at you on the inside? What conflicts start a war in your mind? More so, who and what trigger these conflicts within your being?

Something I've learned is that I need to stop blaming my surroundings for my situations. The mind is so much more powerful than we give it credit for. In other words, think. Be patient, willing, and strong. There's nothing that I struggle more with than strength. Strength of mind. Strength of body. Strength of self.

The more we give in the more we allow things to cut down our strength. This life is like a big game of tug-of-war. The more we pull to our side, the stronger we become. However, the more we release to the pull of others, the weaker we feel and eventually end up defeated.

If you're reading this and you feel under the will of the world around you, stepped on, or possibly used.... It's your time to pull, and this time don't give in.
