You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you cannot do.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
Luke 1:37
Nothing, you see, is impossible with God."
Too many of us live our lives wishing for things that we can't even
dream big enough to see ourselves having in our lifetimes. Instead of
living with a defeated attitude we must muster up enough courage to
declare victory over situations in which we never thought we even had a
chance facing. Instead of living life wishing for things to happen, we
have to live our lives making things happen.
As cliche as it sounds, nothing really is impossible, and if you are
able to dream it, then chances are you are able to achieve it. There
will be those who speak against you, and obstacles that rise in your way
as big as mountains. In order to get past these barriers to our dreams
we have to be willing to only worry about what is in our hearts to do,
and to fight as hard as possible in order to accomplish the things that
we desire to do in our hearts.

Test of your Character
Supporting the truth, even when it is unpopular, shows the capacity for honesty and integrity.
Luke 23:50
There was a man by the name of Joseph, a member of the Jewish High Council, a man of good heart and good character.
In life, you may encounter different situations that would test your character, rather than fall into the trap of soiling your character, train yourself to always do the right thing. It doesn't matter if people don't reward you for keeping up a good character. Don't expect anyone to do so, for nobody needs to reward you for your character. God Himself will reward your good character, and when He does, He will do it in a big way.
Keep a firm grasp on both your character and your teaching. Don't be diverted. Just keep at it. Both you and those who hear you will experience salvation. I Timothy 4:16

Never Give Up
Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your
strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and
it will never be used to hurt you.
- George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
Revelation 22:13
I'm A to Z, the First and the Final, Beginning and Conclusion.
If you don't ever remember anything else in your life, remember this, NEVER GIVE UP. Life is what you make it, and even though circumstances may cause you to believe that an end is near, one must believe and keep a positive mindset knowing that a new beginning is actually taking place. When one door is closing in your life, one must believe that God is closing this door in order to open up more doors for him or her in the future.
Though it may seem as though you are down on your luck, and as if life is throwing too challenging of circumstances at you, you must be willing to go toe to toe with them until something happens. Never give up, there are no endings, there are only new beginnings, the only thing in life that can stop you is yourself. Remember to keep your head held high, and to never allow the hope you have inside of you to die.

Let Go Of Your Insecurities
If God had wanted you otherwise, He would have created you otherwise.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Isaiah 42:14
"I've been quiet long enough. I've held back, biting my tongue. But now I'm letting loose, letting go, like a woman who's having a baby.
Let go of your insecurities. Let go of your pain. You are Limitless. Nothing is holding you back. You are perfect. You are infinite.
When we are insecure about situations, in actuality we are holding on to some experience(s) that caused us tremendous anguish earlier in our lives to the point of where we don't want to allow a situation or relationship of similar magnitude to take place again. In order to get past our insecurities we must first get rid of the mindset of living in our past.
Just because you weren't good enough for something then, doesn't mean that you are not good enough now, just because you weren't able to accomplish something then, doesn't mean that you won't accomplish it now. Let go of your pain, and believe in the fact that the only limits that bind you, are those limits that you place on yourself. We are all perfect people with perfect imperfections. Remember to not only enjoy your life but to take advantage of the opportunities that life presents to you as well. Live every day as if it could be your last!

Trust Life A Little Bit
If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine.
- Morris West
Trust Life a little bit, God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. We then see the original and intended shape of our lives there in him.
Many of us have experienced moments in our lives that made us believe that we can never really trust life to work out in our best interests. We must remember that the past is the past, and that the things that happened in our past happened for the reason of making our future brighter. Nobody's life is perfect, and no matter what there will be trials and tribulations during our lifetime no matter how much success or failure that we have obtained throughout it.
In order to make the best of our lives we have to sometimes put our trust in life itself. We have to be willing to take risks, and seize opportunities in order to live up to our potential. Work as hard as you can day in and day out, stay focused, and with this trust in God, trust in life, and you will not only be blessed, but you will also be able to bless others who may be going through similar things that you went through.
With God on our side, how can we lose? If God did not hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us, Trust life a little bit, yet moreover, Trust God Even The More.

Sometimes You Have To Let Go
Some people come into your life just to teach you how to let go.
Sometimes even though we feel like we have great plans for our lives with the people that we have in them now, not knowing that God has much bigger plans for us which may not necessarily include the people that are in them now. In order for us to continue in life sometimes we must allow some of our plans including those that we are involved with fall, in order to learn how to become stronger individuals by learning how to be willing to let go.
Not everything in life including our relationships will be something that we will be able to hold on to forever, and this is something that we have to learn to be able to grow and build throughout our whole lifetime. Some people will come in your life, just to teach you how to let go, don't resist, it isn't always about giving up, sometimes it's about learning how to move on.![]()
Why You Need to Let Go and Move Forward.
Throughout our lives we go through different experiences, some are positive and some we see as negative and unpleasant. When you hang on to a negative or unpleasant experience you are constantly thinking about it. And when you constantly think about that negative event you prevent yourself from healing. How many pleasant memories do you recall everyday? Chances are you're like most people and you have a number of unpleasant experiences that you're holding on to, which is preventing you from moving forward.
The more you carry the worse life gets. Why? Because you've filled your mind up with negative experiences, because you continually hang on to something that doesn't allow you to move forward, in short, you're carrying useless baggage that's really slowing you down.

Do more of what makes you happy.
In order to do more of what makes you happy, you must first do some soul searching and find out what in life really makes you happy. Many times in life our own mind and free will get clouded by other people's visions for our lives and sometimes it gets hard to see our vision for ourselves. To get out of and away from everybody else's thoughts and plans for you, you have to take time to hang with yourself daily.
As a person starts to develop the utmost humble confidence in their self, doing what makes them happy will be a puzzle that will seem to be getting easier by the day to solve. Do more of what makes you happy, do what pleases your heart, leaves you feeling blessed, and allows for you to bless others at the same time.![]()
Go out for a walk
Do something fun that you haven't done in a long time
Do something creative
Complete some minor chore that you've been avoiding
Get in contact with an old friend or acquaintance you haven't seen for a while
Happiness is within you. When you stop the chatter of the mind and expel your worries and fears you find out that happiness surfaces from within you
