Learning how to stay positive and never giving up, even when whatever we are trying to achieve seems impossible, is a challenge that most of us will face at one time or another. 

When you are caught up in the middle of something and when nothing seems to be going your way, it can be very tempting to throw your hands in the air and walk away; to give up on all the hard work you’ve done up to that point and lose sight of your goal or dream through fear, frustration and feelings of defeat. 

But what we need to remember at times like this, is that sometimes things take time and that even the best laid plans can go awry. Sometimes the road is more winding that we would like and we may not be able to see the path on the other side of the forest for the many trees we have to navigate our way through at any given moment. And it is usually the things which we crave and desire the most that we have to work the hardest to achieve and it is in those dreams which we invest our hearts, our emotions and so much of our energy. 

The road may be long and the journey tumultuous; there may be tears and tantrums and moments of weakness and despair; many things along the way may seem uncertain and scary but the only thing that we can be absolutely sure of, without question or doubt, is that if we admit defeat, give up and walk away, our dreams and goals will never have the opportunity to come true. 

Something I need to remind myself of often  is to trust in the journey, try to remember that all things happen for a reason and if we can learn to let go of the things which we cannot control, even just a little bit, the roller coaster ride may be a little less scary and much less emotionally draining. 

Trust in the journey. Never give up 💜
