FOR YOUR INSPIRATION
Hold on to Your Dreams and
Don’t Let Go
by Jennifer Workman
T
ime is fleeting and tomorrow isn’t
promised to anyone. We don’t have
time to waste. We must realize the
value of life and that it is a gift from
God and that we have been placed on this
earth to impact others and to bring glory to
God. Although that is the case, we must also
not devalue our gifts and talents and allow
the daily struggles, failures or difficulties to
hinder us from pursuing our dreams and
moving forward with our lives.
I have seen over the years countless
people that have given up on their dreams
because with every attempt to progress and
accomplish their goals, they have faced
many obstacles, barriers and blockages. “No
one ever said that anything worth having
would be easy.” Life is a series of struggles
and “quitters never win.” It takes tenacity,
perseverance and an unshakeable resolve
to keep getting up after you have been
knocked down several times.
Life is like a boxing match:
The two opponents prepare themselves
physically, mentally and emotionally before
entering into the ring. They go into the
boxing ring with one mindset and that is
10 HimPower August 2017
that there will be “one winner and one loser”
and thus, they go in with the expectation
they will be the winner. That is how we as
people need to be with life and with meeting
our goals and aspirations. You can’t be so
easy to “throw in the towel” because the
fight is intense and you sustain a few harsh
blows along the way. That is not the time to
give up, but that is the time to muster up the
strength, position yourself in faith and fight
until you come out on the winning side.
Below is a list of other things that are
needed to hold on to your dreams:
1. Don’t allow people, lack of resources,
negative talk, or otherwise to deter your
vision.
2. Ask God for help, guidance and direc-
tion in your life.
3. Stand on the promises of God, you can
trust him when you can’t trust anyone
else.
4. Hold on and don’t let go until God
blesses you.
