On The Path To Your Best Life

"To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless."
Gilbert K. Chesterton

 We all want to be happy, we all want to live the best life that we possibly can, but sometimes, there are some things that get in the way of those goals. You  want to live a life full of love, full of forgiveness, full of faith, and full of hope. But how do we do that when we have something in the way?
 Maybe you want to show love today, but you are having a hard time doing so because someone who has come across this path of yours seems as though they are unlovable. Maybe they say hurtful words or do things that you may not approve of, so with this person there, how do we get past them on this path? Well, you have to love them. If you want to live your happiest and most fulfilling life, you have to not only love those who say kind words and do things that you do approve of, but you also have to love the unlovable.
 Okay, so now we are down our path a little bit further now, but then we come across an old hurt, an old pain that someone had caused you. You have held that grudge for a while not because you never forgave them because, well, maybe you think that they didn't deserve forgiveness. So how about this obstacle? How do we get past this one? Well, on your path to your happiest life, you need to pardon the unpardonable.
 Thirdly, we may come across a promise from God that seems impossible. We simply can't wrap our head around how that could possibly happen and we doubt it. It's just not possible. But this is where you need to take your faith and believe the unbelievable.
 Lastly, our hope. Our hope can be an obstacle on the path to happiness sometimes because we get into situations that may seem hopeless. When you get into a situation such as this, you have to know that true hope is hoping when there seems to be none.
 Once you do all these things and continue on your path with these points in mind, know this, that you are on your way to living the most blessed, miraculous, and happy life that you can't even imagine.
