Swim Upstream...

I am thankful for the courage to go against the tide when needed. It can be lonely taking a stand. It takes faith and courage mixed with a large dose of risk taking to run against the crowd. Most people stay in situations because they find it easier to follow the tide than go against it. But going with the tide does not make you stronger.... Think about it- do you grow in any way going the with the tide? Are any muscles stretched? Is your endurance increased? Is your faith grown? Have you learned to live outside your comfort zone? Muscles whether mental, physical or spiritual only grow with resistance. Are you riding the tide today..... maybe you've been riding it  your whole life... unfulfilled.... incomplete.....passionless..... . Can I encourage you that it is never too late to swim upstream. Choose to stand for what is pure, what is lovely, what is noble and what is right. The swim upstream will be invigorating!
