When everything feels 'off'

We have all had hard days, weeks, months, even years... 

Everyone can relate. 

The struggle...
Whether in health, losing weight, gaining weight, getting to the gym, committing to a schedule, tasks in business, setting and hitting goals in life, relationships, connection, health, work, business, etc... 

The struggle... is real. 

These struggles add up and you start to feel... down, 'off', in the dark, etc... and you know you need to create a change. 

And if you're not careful you will walk, wallow, and make friends in these dark places...

What should take a day to get out of the 'funk', you turn it into weeks. 

What should only take weeks, you turn it into months. 

What takes months, you turn it into years. 

And what should take only a year to endure, you turn it into a lifetime. 

Self-doubt and pity are the two paths you choose to stay on rahter than the lesson learned. 

You do not always have to like the struggle God is allowing to happen in your life.
But you still have to trust the process. 

Everyone goes through highs and lows. Some higher than others and some definitely lower than others... But what is most important is what you do with the struggle. 

Do you sit in the dark or do you flip the switch?   

Not the switch on your circumstances because some of those circumstances might be permanent. But flip the switch in your mind. 

You can keep the switch off and choose to live in the dark, stay complacent, refuse to be pushed or pressed, and turn a weeklong struggle into years... 

Or you can choose to change. It starts with gratitude.
