Turn Back or Keep Going

The moment you know change is needed, is the moment you begin to change. Whether you know it or not, your mind and heart begin working together to figure out how to get you from where you are, to where you need to be. One of the hardest things to do, if you’ve never done it before is to trust your heart to lead and your inner wisdom to guide.

If you have never stepped out on Faith, the first step is very challenging. What you may not know is that there is another step that is even more difficult. This step comes when you are presented with an opportunity to turn back or to keep going. Usually this happens after you have moved significantly forward. A situation arises that will cause you to question whether or not you have made the right decision; whether or not it would’ve been easier to stay where you were; whether or not you should stop and go back. The challenge then is to determine whether or not to continue with this course of action; but one thing should remain clear. Going back to the way things were contradicts your need for change.

So look for ways to continue to move forward, even if you choose to return to similar surroundings. As the late Frederick Douglas stated, “Without struggle, there is no progress.”
