It Is Better To Give Up And Do This

God knows you. God created you for a purpose. The question is, ‘Are you living your purpose? Are you living your life? Are you making God proud? Are you doing what you are here to do?

If you are not living your purpose, it is never too late to start again. With God, we can do all things. With God, we can change our lives. With God, there is nothing we cannot do for ourselves. We can think positive thoughts. We can pursue our dreams. We can live our lives. We can move forward.

But we can’t move forward if we are not willing to give up what is holding us back. We are not going to be able to do what we are here to do if we don’t have the courage to let go of what has been holding back.

Our situations are not going to get better if we are not willing to do something about them. We are not going to make any progress if we are not willing to let God take charge of our actions.

Because God knows the end of our story. God knows where we are going before we even get started. From now on, if you want to move faster, according to Chris Hodges, ‘it’s better to give up and trust God than to cling tight and try to control everything.’

Don’t do that. God is not going to betray you. Do not try to control everything. If you do, you won’t succeed. Why is that? Because you ‘need a new strength’ to handle a new situation. If you have it, use it. If you do not, then bring your situation to God. And He will take care of it.

Why Hope Matters

‘No matter what stage of life you’re at right now, keep reminding yourself that it will get better. Just keep being your bad bitch self, and it will all work out the way it’s supposed to in the end, with you ruling your own life on your own terms and no thought for any of the haters.’– Amber Rose

Go to work for yourself. Go to work for your dreams. And be willing to give more, not less. Just know that not everybody is going to celebrate you when you succeed.

But people will have a lot to say if you do not make it. That is okay. Do not let that bother you. Let them talk. Your work is not to stop them from talking. Your work is to keep going, is to keep making a difference. To keep hope alive.

Is it going to be perfect? No, it is going to be hard. But do not give up. Believe in what you are doing. According to Amber, ‘Everytime you trust yourself, every time you do something scary or hard, you become a little bit stronger.‘ That is how we grow. That is how we make progress.

If you want to make yourself stronger, to prepare yourself for what is next, you have got to be true to yourself. The question is, ‘Are you in it for you?’
