“If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” Frederick Douglass

I do not like struggle.  I like things easy and fun.   Half the time I am happy and half the time I struggle.  I believe life is filled with 50% struggles and 50% progress.  Last night our family and a couple friends watched the movie, Coach Carter.
A true story about a high school basketball coach that brings discipline to an undisciplined bunch of high school athletes.  His unconventional methods bring wins and good grades.  But, even with those great results, he is met with opposition.  So it is with life, life is not fair but it is still good!

Matthew 6:22-23 

   ²² “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. ²³ But if your eyes are unhealthy,your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!


I believe the battle is won in our heart and our mind.  It is determined on how we view things. Whether we see things as half empty or half full.


Change is hard, change is good, but change is not easy.

This is just my own personal pep talk for the struggles I am facing in my life right now.  Everyday I ask my self why I am doing what I am doing(the detox) Everyday it is a different answer depending on what else is going on in my life. I have yet to have a perfect day but I am still in the battle, still striving to do what I believe is best for this body at this time in my life. I trust that God will continue to lead me in the direction that He wants me to go.
