Isn’t bedtime yet?

Yes, we giggle a little. But it’s the truth. You can’t control the weather, what happens to you, or what happens around you.

However, you can control your response.

Hold the line.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Hold the line!

Believe it or not, you are stronger than you think you are. You can handle much more than what you think you can.

Think of it this way. When you feel like giving up, it means persevering. It means staying in the game even when you want to quit. It means refusing to give up because you believe in yourself, and you believe in your dreams.

Holding the line isn’t always easy. It requires you to keep moving forward, even when you feel like you’re not making any progress. But the truth is, every step you take is one step closer to achieving your goals.

“One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!” ~ Kristianne Wargo

You need to remember that even if you fail, it doesn’t mean you label yourself as a failure. Every obstacle is a teachable moment. You have the opportunity to learn and grow.

Look at it this way. As my good friend, Dan Miller says, “What does this make possible?”

You get to choose to those experiences to become stronger and more resilient.

“Resilience does not happen because life is easy. Resilience comes with resistance.” ~ Kristianne Wargo

Become unstoppable. Hold the line.

So today, start by taking that next step. No matter how small it may seem, it is a step in the right direction. Then, be present. We don’t worry about what’s next or what’s behind you. Stay in the present and be intentional about making the most of every opportunity.

Peter Gabriel said, “I hold the line, the line of strength that pulls me from the fear.”

Now Gabriel is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He rose to fame as the original lead singer of the progressive rock band Genesis.

What I found very interesting is his early influences.

And he said, “Hymns played quite a large part. They were the closest I came to soul music before I discovered soul music. There are certain hymns that you can scream your lungs out on, and I used to love that. It was great when you used to get the old shivers down the back.”

Take a page out from Peter Gabriel. Make a little soul noise.

Lean on God’s strength. You don’t have to hold the line alone. God’s got you!

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
