Don’t give up. Not today.

You’ve had a setback, it hasn’t happened yet. Someone disappointed you.

I know how one step forward, two steps back made me feel like surely I was doing something wrong or the very things I wanted would have come into fruition. But they didn’t, and life felt frustrating, even sad at times.

I often thought, “Why bother??”

But if there is something that you want, an experience you want to have, THAT person in your life,….Don’t give up. Not today.

I found an old journal of mine and picked a random page to turn to. It was filled with these very doubts; doubts that nothing was working. Released on that page were my frustrations, sadness, and fears.

But I did not give up, not that day.

I accepted my doubts, sadness, and disappointments, but they did not rule me. I searched for a sign, the tiniest of signs of encouragement. And when I was open to see it, I did.

My sign, not to give up. So I didn’t. And life changed for the better.

With Love and Fireworks,

Patty
