You Are Closer Today Than You Were Yesterday

"You may not be there yet, but you're closer than you were yesterday." Unknown

 In our lives today, we tend to get discouraged when we don't see our dreams or our goals come to pass as soon as we would like. We work and we work, but it doesn't seem that we are getting all that much closer to where we are wanting to be, which tends to ultimately cause us to want to give up. But my friend, I want to encourage you today to keep going, and not give up. For you are already closer to fulfilling your dream than you think.

 Now you see, we all look at our goal as the big picture; the dream that we want to fulfill or that goal that we want to reach. That is what we see when we look ahead, but too often, that seems so far away. It seems so far off in the future that we get discouraged on how long it is going to take for us to reach it, often resulting in us giving up on the dream or goal altogether. But my friend, we need to not let that end vision of what we want to reach discourage us, but rather, inspire us! And maybe instead of looking at how far it is that you have to go to reach it, look at how far you have come already. Take a minute and realize where it is that you started when you first began going after this. Think about all you didn't have done that you do now. Even take a look at yesterday! You are closer today to reaching those dreams or goals than you were then! So keep in mind that, if you my friend, keep putting in the work and doing your part, then God is going to continue moving you down the right path.

 So today, let's take a minute and not be discouraged by how far it is that we have to go, but rather be inspired by how far it is that we have come. And just know that, in every moment and in every day you are getting closer to fulfilling this dream or this goal that God has placed within your heart, and I can't even begin to tell you how amazing it will be when you do reach it, but you have to remember to always enjoy the journey as well.
