GET UP

I know you have heard this before but this is a true statement.  “Your Strength is in your Struggle” Think about it.  If you didn’t go through what you went through how would you know how strong you were?  Don’t take that knock down personally get up and fight back.  You were only knocked down not knocked out.  Where is that inner strength that God has given you?  Have you been hit hard enough that you are ready to use your ammunition to fight back?  Let’s see your bounce back. GET UP!  

In my first Collaboration “Chronicles of a Walk With Christ” The first title for my chapter that I came up with was “throughout my Struggle I Still Kept My Stride” I had to cut my title short to “I Still Kept My Stride” But it was just as powerful.  It had the same meaning.  Well it is those struggles that got me where I am today!  It was those struggles that made me bounce back!  It was me getting up that I can truly say I am a living witness that my Struggles made me stronger.  I got up. 

When I say that you have been knocked down I DON’T mean in a fight, I mean in spirits, I mean in character. We have found ourselves at a point in our lives that we were not sure if we had the strength to fight anymore.  Well I am here to tell you to GET UP!  Stop having that pity party and do something about your situation.  Let’s focus on Building your character and spirits back up.  If it is a job that you don’t have,  let me tell you that the technology has made it so much easier for everyone in today’s society.  You don’t even have to leave your house to put in for a position.  Just GET UP and go to your computer.  Some of us even have phones that you can use to apply for jobs lying in your bed.  There is no excuse. Get UP!  The only thing that is asked of you is to get experience. 

In the Bible it says people perish because of the lack of knowledge, well the same thing is true in this world.  People are perishing because of the lack of experience.  What can you do about that GET UP!  Go take courses.  If you don’t have a car sign on to your computer and take some free computer based training.  I will say it again there is no excuse.  Get moving towards your destiny.  Make a better life for yourself. Get UP.

I remember years ago when I first started looking for jobs I had to  hit the pavement, each and every day. The job search started early  in the morning, not this afternoon, and evening job searching the web stuff.   I remember going up and down the Streets of Central New York Putting in applications at different office buildings. Going in different offices downtown asking were they hiring.   I also remember catching the Central bus from hospital to hospital putting in applications.  As I talk about it I was determined and eager to work just as I am now.  That is because I never gave up hope on being the best at whatever my vision was.   

Remember  in order to move forward you have to have a vision.  You must have a plan.  Put that plan in action.  What can your experience do for you and how far can it take you.  Ask yourself these questions.  Where am I trying to go?  What am I trying to reach for?  If you keep focusing on that journey it will become clearer to you. That your worst days are behind you and your Best days are in front of you so once again I will tell you to GET UP because your strength is in your Struggle.
