We have all messed up in life. We falter in our friendships, careers, parenting, finances, diet. The list goes on. We will all fall but the question is will we get back up, and will we get back up quickly. No matter how bad we mess up, how far we have fallen, or how bad we have let a relationship slip, it is never too late to pick up and start again. There are so many accounts in history that remind us of people who failed miserably and God blessed abundantly after they got back up.
It is so easy to be discouraged about how far we have to go to fix something in our life. We can however celebrate, even before the first victory. Be proud that we have made the first steps toward making things right. Enjoy the peace of knowing we are on the right path. There’s no better feeling than the feeling of being headed in the right direction, doing what’s right even if it is hard. If you are in the valley, today is a great day to start climbing the mountain. Your best is enough.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Helen Keller
