Have you ever felt so sick you felt like you wanted to die?

 

 

Have you ever been through surgery or illness that was so bad, you didn’t even want to move because it made you wish you were dead.

 

 

Have you ever been in so much sharp, physical pain that it was so unbearable you prayed it would end?

 

 

Have you ever had a dull pain that NEVER went away and wouldn’t stop for even a minute and felt like it would never end and wasn’t worth it?

 

 

Have you ever had a loved one hit with horrible tragedy that you had no idea how you could move on?

 

 

Have you ever just woken up and said, "Screw it! That’s it!?"

 

 

Have you ever had to fight so hard that you had nothing left only to find out it wasn’t worth it?

If you have, welcome to the club we all belong to. You think you might be alone, but I’m sure everyone reading this can say yes to all these questions. In some cases the cause was beyond our control and in others they were within our control. The crazy thing is when you look back it sucked. But the reality was in comparison to the alternative, it wasn’t that hard.

 

 

You know what’s hard? Living well! Don’t fall for all the false narratives you see online. We all have problems, some just hide them better than others. On the flip side others dwell on them, look for them, and may even manifest them because they don’t feel they have earned or deserved the right to live well. They...are... SO... wrong!

 

 

It’s called Living for a reason. Living is the pursuit of LIFE. The “pursuit” doesn’t mean it’s always good, simple or easy. It means striving forward, becoming better, and yes... living well.

 

 

We all deserve the absolute best we can give ourselves. It can be hard, complicated, stressful, painful and hurt, but without those what would success, joy, love and faith feel like?
