Not Today

If you’ve been knocked down, get up.

If you’re too tired to take another step, but you’re not “there” yet, press on.

If your heart’s been broken, your trust betrayed, find an anchor for your soul and dig in.

If opportunity arrives in the wake of another disappointment, grab a gear and mash the gas.

A glorious end awaits, but your story is still unfolding.

Don’t let the Final Evaluation of your life be, “You were THIS CLOSE and you quit.”

It’s time to give fear the day off.

Time to seize discouragement by the throat and declare, “Not today.”
