Ever felt road blocked like you know what to do, yet you can’t seem to do it. Well, that’s has been me for the last couple of months, It’s like everything I wanted to do and needed to do was stopped in its tracks. Then I realized that being lazy and impatient wouldn’t get me to my finish line anytime soon, I knew I needed to change my mindset.
The Mind is a powerful thing to waste and life is a journey, not a destination
In life, you don’t always have to start over when you feel as though you’ve hit a roadblock. Here are two things that you should do:
- Exercise patience
For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. – Romans 8:24-25
- Life is not a race, and it’s not always going to be smooth. You’ll be sure to go through some difficult times but that doesn’t mean you will have to stop and start all over.
2. Learn to persevere
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.- James 1:12
- Fight through the situation, take the time to sit and pray for God to open your eyes to see a way up and out of any situation. With God, you will surely acquire the desired results, if not more.
In the event, you do have to start over because you fell, be sure to pick yourself back up, brush it off and begin again with a new mindset. Avoiding the paths that led you to fall in the beginning.
