Monday Morning Motivational Message - Through

How do you get "through" things in your life?

In the poem, A Servant to Servants, the writer Robert Frost wrote:

"He says the best way out is always through
And I agree to that, or in so far
As I can see no way out but through." 

I've had many people ask me how I've gotten through the past twelve years with terminal cancer. 

I've been honest with those people that there have been times that I wanted to quit, that I've wanted to give up or give in, that I've struggled to make it through a test, a treatment, or even a day.

But when the chips seem to be stacked against you, when everything is lined up against you, when nothing seems to be going right for you, the best way out of those predicaments is always through. 

A wise and capable person can use even the harshest of times to keep moving forward and through the difficulties they face.

By refusing to make excuses, maintaining a positive mindset, and cultivating resilience by doing difficult things every day, you can make it through whatever life throws in your path.

Please comment on how you made it through adversity in your life.
