The Climb

It may be pretty cliché, but I'm reminded every single day, through every single failure...that loss, failure, rejection, mistakes, set backs and anything of the sort...is all part of life. It helps you grow, it motivates you and it makes you stronger. I feel bad for people who dwell on that ish or can't get over like a bad break out or a failed test or course or being fired or whatever you know. All that ish is part of life...to help you grow as an individual. It reminds me of the quote from Rocky...that it's not about how hard you can hit, but it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. Cuz life is gonna throw you curveballs, sliders, knuckleballs, anything but fast balls right down the middle...cuz that's be too easy...it's through struggle, trial, hardships, pain...that we learn, that we grow and that we become better. This can apply to anything...when you're working out, embrace that struggle...when you're playing ball...you're gonna lose, you're gonna turn the ball over, you're gonna make mistakes, but that's okay. Similarly in your christian life and walk with God...yiu're gonna stumble...you're gonna sin...you're gonna make mistakes...but God forgives you every single time with the intention you'll learn from it. This is definitely the mentality I've been adopting as of late...that life is a climb...but the view will be great.
