The importance of support…
This world is so very large. The people, so many…As one person, we are so small. Seemingly insignificant…
rn
rn
It’s so hard to imagine what we, as an individual, can do…We get discouraged, and we crumble under our burdens.
rn
rn
Sometimes it is so much easier to just give up, before we even started…To cling to our old ways, old habits, old lives…
rn
rn
We can’t imagine success; it seems so far off in the distance, unobtainable. So we fight it…
rn
rn
Because we are afraid…
rn
rn
We have not the courage to fight. We lose all faith in our own strength. We can not see the sunshine through the rain…
rn
rn
It is easier to flee the fight, then to stand tall, unflinchingly, in the gunfire…
rn
rn
But where is the glory in that??? What kind of life is it then? If we are afraid of becoming who we really are inside, then why are we here??
rn

I think sometimes, it is not failure we fear, it is actually success that we fear…

For those of us here, we have decided to face our fear. To complete our journey. Some have finished, some have just started. Some are strolling along slowly, midway. Some sprinted full force from the get go to the finish line…
rn
rn
The paths we take on this journey will be many and varied…The pace, not really important…The road may be full of thick forests, scary beasts, cracks in the road…But the destination, for all of us, is the same…

It is oh so important to remember that you are NOT alone. You do not have to face your fears by yourself. There are people out there waiting to help you, to cheer you on. To push you when you need it, to pick you up when you fall, and yes, to even carry you for a while, when you feel you can not go on…

So, if you do not have that support in your life, then go out and find it. It’s there!!! Friends, family, support groups, your church, this website…
rn
rn
There are people who get it and understand you. They don’t always come knocking on your door, but they are there…
rn
rn
So, whether you are just starting your journey, or if you have recently completed it…Remember to pause now and then…Look around you. Reflect. Don’t focus so hard on the destination that you forget to enjoy the ride…Enjoy the scenery, no matter what it is…
rn
rn
And maybe, if you have enough faith and courage, you can look behind you, or beside you, and you will see that you are NOT one person, alone…You are surrounded by others that are on their own journey…
rn
rn
How wonderful it would be to reach out, grab their hand, and help them along too…
rn
rn
I wish you all continued success in your individual journeys…
