To be successful you have to remain positive but the older you get the more you can become jaded. You have the right to be jaded. You’ve been hurt many times. You put up walls to avoid future hurt. Yet, this becomes your prison. Can’t live that way. Failure is assured. To find peace and happiness you have to continually risk the hurt and as many times as it takes too. Never give up on yourself or people. Peace and Salvation are called a NARROW WAY for a reason and very few will ever travel this road, stay on this road, and see it through.

Get back up. Let them hurt you again and again while maintaining your integrity. Don’t go backward. Don’t stall. Move forward. Run when you can run. Walk when you can walk. Crawl if you need to crawl but whatever you do, keep moving forward and keep risking the hurt. Forgive everyone. Also, forgive the one who has hurt you the most ——————-> YOURSELF

Failure and hurt lead to experience. The more failure and hurt the more experience. The more experience you have the more likely you crack the code and find victory.
We see through a glass darkly. There is a truth that lay beyond the darkness. Knock. Seek.

Especially when your heart is broken. After you’re broken, as long as you don’t stay down, you find all that you’ve been looking to find.

I think it’s called Faith.
