WALKING ON A THIN ROPE

The new year has come. We have made new resolutions and are determined to defy all odds and keep them. With determination not fail ourselves and those that look up to us we start the year. But like humans walking on a thin rope our steps continue to waver. Trying to find a balance with nothing to hold on to for support,  we struggle with just the determination of our minds to stay on track. Soon we see ourselves falling off the rope and landing flat on our backs. We feel like we have failed ourselves and those around us. We beat ourselves not dealing with failure with pity,  unknowingly to us,  sometimes all we need to go a hundred times forward is to take one step backward. Taking a step back should not be seen as failure rather a time to stop going too fast ahead,  pause and observe what lies in front  of you. It is a time to re-examine what caused the fall and develop a counter measure to prevent future falls. Our strength is within us...as long as we do not give up on ourselves,  God will never give up on us. Never forget to ask him for strength as we are all walking on the thin rope of life...prone to waver or fall off.
