[New Post] Top 5 Reasons to Keep Fighting

Sometimes life is steady and smooth.  Sometimes life gets hard when obstacles come our way.  Sometimes life takes a drastic turn that flips our world upside down.  We long for steady and smooth.

Truth is, life is full of ebbs and flows, flips and twists.  Our job is to fight and persevere to reach the next plateau.  No matter where you find yourself today, keep fighting!

Remember, life is to be lived and enjoyed.  Life is to be fulfilling and fun.  Life is for a purpose.  Fight through the ebbs and flows, the ups and downs, the twists and turns. It will be worth it.

As I think about my life, I realize I want my life experiences to catapult me forward.

Here are my top 5 reasons to keep fighting and persevere.

1.  Keep fighting because through it you will be stronger.

2.  Keep fighting because you will learn a lot about yourself and others.

3.  Keep fighting because growth is inevitable.

4.  Keep fighting because your perseverance will motivate and encourage others.

5.  Keep fighting because you will be refined and changed for the better.

James 1:2-4 says, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
