Too often we quit right at the time we were close to being successful. Frequently, we give up at the darkest part of the night when morning was so close to appearing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may have spent a lifetime trying to conquer an addiction. Your addiction has colored your life in an unflattering way. Most likely it\u2019s affected your success, finances, and your relationships. Answer this question, is your addiction worth what it has cost you? Do you really derive that much pleasure from the very thing that keeps tearing you apart and bringing you down? We both know the answer, and it\u2019s a big no. Yet, you keep going back to what brings you down. Why not try one more time? This could be the year that you turn the corner and the page for a new and better you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may feel as if your marriage and relationship with your spouse has failed. He or she has failed, you have failed, you both have given up, and let your marriage die. What could he or she do differently? What can you do differently? No one is perfect. Another man or woman will have their own issues of some kind. We are imperfect people. Is your marriage worth saving? What about all the years, toil, work, and life that you have shared with this other person? Is it not worth giving it one more try? If you give it one more honest effort at least you\u2019ll know that you tried and that will be worth some peace of mind down the road. Sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk and deal with any and every issue that you feel is important to making your marriage work. Talk it out, pray it out, be completely real. There was something about this person that made you love and marry him\/her, so go back and give it one more concerted effort at making it really work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every human has had some kind of life failure. Abraham Lincoln lost election after election. Losing an election is gut wrenching but he kept trying. President Donald Trump has been through about as much as anyone I\u2019ve known but came back to be our President. Most of us would have given up long ago and could never have survived all he has been through. What do you need to try one more time? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What about your weight loss? Are you tired of feeling bad, having clothes that won\u2019t fit, and watching your health decline because you are carry 20 or 30 pounds you don\u2019t need? You have probably lost 10 or 20 pounds and then put it right back on. We\u2019ve all done this more than once. It\u2019s easy to do. As Dolly Parton said, \u201cThere is a fat person inside me trying to get out.\u201d I feel the same way. Why not get real religious about your eating. It\u2019s 95% about your eating. Exercise helps but it\u2019s mostly about your eating. Go to small portions three or four times a day. This way you\u2019ll not be starving and you\u2019ll slowly lose about a pound a week. In six months, you\u2019ll be so happy you\u2019ll be singing and dancing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t give up on God. He will help you with all the above and more. The old song asks this question, \u201cHave you failed in your plan of your storm-tossed life? Place your hand in the nail- scarred hand. Are you weary and worn from its toil and strife? Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand. He will keep to the end, He\u2019s your dearest friend. Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
