When You Get Knocked Down

"When life knocks you down you have two choices- stay down or get up."
-Tom Krause

Adversities come in all shapes and sizes and there is no question that occasionally they will even knock you off your feet. Sometimes you may feel like NOTHING is going right. Regardless of how positive you try to be, eventually you become worn down and you don't even feel like getting back up again.

After all, there is only so much a human can take and you may even wonder: When am I going to get a break?

No matter what it is that is causing you to feel beaten down, discouraged or defeated, it only has power over you when you lose your faith. You have to first get up on the inside. And, you do this by renewing your beliefs that you really are being divinely guided and that everything IS happening the way it's supposed to.

Oh, I know, you may find that last statement hard to buy but God (or whatever you believe in) WILL see you through when you have faith. It's these very adversities that shape our faith. They either strengthen you or make you weaker in your beliefs.

No matter what you are struggling with, hurting or grieving over, if you don't have faith, what do you rely on instead? What gets you through it? This is the time to rely on your inner strength and pick yourself up spiritually by tapping into what sustains you always - in all ways.

If you choose to dwell on the unfairness of it all, your frustrations in life, and the hurt and pain you're going through; you've pushed out your faith and you're living in fear instead. But, if you learn to trust that God is behind the scenes and He has your back, then you can rely on our faith to pull you up when the bottom drops out.

As you begin to rely on your faith and really believe that you are connected to and a part of a higher consciousness, believing will turn into knowing. And, along with knowing that everything is working out for your higher purpose comes peace of mind.

Life is too short to allow outside circumstances drag you down because you have everything you need to pull yourself up on the inside. Learn to live your life being happy regardless of what is happening around you.

When you do this, it won't matter who or what is trying to knock you down because you'll have that inner strength and peace that comes from knowing that everything will work out in the end. Your life is being taken to a new level. You may not see the bigger picture but God does. Begin to believe, no; begin to KNOW that the best is yet to come!

"I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances." Philippians 4:11
