Challenge To You

So it has been a week and I am making some progress. If you do not believe in an adversary, I am here to tell you, there is one. This past week has proven difficult. I have done everything possible to prove to myself that I am doing enough, and the adversary has been telling me another story. I have felt overwhelmingly like a failure, in every aspect of my life. I have been fighting against these feelings.

It is important to fight. When we give up, and give in, we lose. We lose the ability of foresight, of hope, and overcoming. We lose ourselves. We are our own champions. We cannot depend on others to acquire it for us. We depend upon ourselves and a loving Heavenly Father. Through the power of the Atonement, we can become what we truly see ourselves as. You know who you need to be because you feel it in your heart. You know what you need to do, because you feel the urgency to take the steps. And the fear your feel is just the barrier that is keeping you from your dreams. Do you have the courage? If not then pray. Prayer will bring courage, hope, and resilience to the fear your feel.

So my challenge to you: Since you know my goal (health), I would like to know your goal. I sit and wonder why I write what I do, or why I let anyone reading know about my goals. The truth is, because if you know then I need to follow through. I cannot give up, or give in. I have to keep fighting. So since I know you support me in my fight. I want to support you in yours.

What is your goal? What do you seek to improve? I invite all to post.

You are never alone in your endeavors. There are people watching, some may unfortunately await for your failure, others (like me) cheer you on, pray for you, and desire for your success. I figure, you are not a failure until you quit completely. If you are trying, you are succeeding. We are all connected in some way, and I do not feel it is a coincidence you read my blog. We need each other. So let me hear your voice, your hopes, and your goals.
