When Life Strikes You Down

Do you go to bed each night scared about waking up tomorrow? Or you go to bed, completely relaxed with a smile on your face, eager to wake up in the morning to face the new day? Those few minutes between hitting the bed and falling asleep are great moments to assess our lives as to "how far we have come and where we are headed".

If those few minutes can put us into careless slumber, our lives are quite well-placed. But if they only make you toss and turn and reach out for the jug of water a zillion times, then there’s something you need to take stock of.

If you know what is really eating you up. well praise God because there is every chance you will find a solution to that problem. But if you cant really tell what is killing you. Then you are pretty up against the shadows..

A story was once told of a man who traveling a long distance, stopped at an intersection and asked an elderly man, "Where does this road take me?" The elderly man asked, "Where do you want to go?" He replied, "I don't know." The elderly man said, "Then take any road. What difference does it make?"

It really makes no difference if you are given the greatest map and the fastest ride to every destination in the world. If you don't know why you decided to go. It would only help you get to the wrong destination very fast.

It is just like a man whose dog used to sit by the roadside waiting for vehicles to come around. As soon as one came he would run down the road, barking and trying to overtake it. One day a neighbor asked the man "Do you think your dog is ever going to catch a car?" The man replied, "That is not what bothers me. What bothers me is what he would do if he ever caught one."

If you are accelerating very fast at things in life but cant really tell what you are really trying to achieve. If you are doing very well in life but don't seem to be happy within. If you are try to do something but always wind up never executing what you set out to do.. then click this link http://ibourl.com/1gtd to path your way to success.

Different things drive different people to success. But, there are two things that cut across all borders of space, time and distance in changing a mans life. And they are (1) Acknowledging you have a need in life, and (2) Opening up to learn how to fulfill that need.

If you want to sit and brood that life is toying with you in every way possible, it is. But if you plan to take things in your hands and not let life jerk you around, it won’t. It is entirely in your hands.

When life strikes you down and your life seems out of place, always keep in mind that adversity is the diamond dust that heaven polishes its jewels with.

Be blessed.
