The long run

One foot in front of the other. That's the idea. Sometimes we're not even aware of the strides we're making, distracted by the moment's glory. Other times, moving forward takes every last bit of resolve and concentration. When it's so very hard to find inspiration and that darkness falls, you must remember that you do not know what is around the bend, you don't know what the future holds. Take those steps, when there's nothing to live for, keep moving, keep going, you can do it! Your fate can return to your hands with time and you will learn how to build a stronger and wiser foundation through these trials. Surely we are growing, only through being tested, being broken down and rebuilding ourselves. Choose how you will be rebuilt. Yes, these hardships shall pass, even if you are stripped down to nothing but the ability to breath. Just breath. Just breath. Be patient. Find a better way to be, see what it is in your life that brings you up, what brings you down and work eliminate the latter and accentuate the positive. Find the higher qualities to aspire toward and then let time pass, be at ease. The long run will break us down, but it will also build us up stronger than before. Embrace the cycle and be at one with it. Each time we fall, we also learn and grow. Accept the fall and rise up again, dust yourself off and keep going. You can do it!
