I came to a realization today while nearing the end of mowing the yard as my body was getting fatigued. Work outs and life are extremely similair in the fact that we only grow(physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) during times of increased resistance or struggle. If we use the same weight(resistance) for all of our workouts we will not grow in strength or size......but when we increase our weight(resistance) our size, and strength, increase. Our physical gains are at their highest when we are fatigued but push through anyways. The same principle holds true in life. The times when we struggle with lifes challenges the most(when life is at its most difficult) but we persevere through them to completion anyways, are the times when we gain the most(mentally, emotionally, and spiritually). Dear God, Please keep my attitude in life positive so that I may see lifes hardest challenges as the best oppurtunities for personal growth. Please give me the strength and grace to persevere through these challenges, especially when I am most fatigued so that I may always be growing, pushing my limits, and getting better in every way possible. Amen
