Sometimes the pain and or difficulty is all too real.  The laughter fades, and the whole thing reeks of the steadfast determination that started the process.  Yes, it is a process of laying hold of the goal.  Keep the vision out in front, and don’t look away.

Keep a steady gaze in the direction of sheer modification.  Realize that the truth could be dirty and seemingly tricky to comprehend.  The idea of a suitable transformation is smashed against the wall of fate!  Intolerant defeat stands in the open air declaring, “The end.”

However, the fruits of triumph only reside centimeters or millimeters from the finish line.  The desire to conquer is still as persistent as ever!  The “home stretch” never felt so good.  While the smell of refreshing advancement encourages the deepest part of doing.

The setting still is the hardest part.  Finding yet more resolve is an underestimate of the need.  Sure, the pathway seems clear to give in, quit, and walk away, but the soul clings on.  (For the record: love never means easy).  Calmly asking for assistance and finding true grace sometimes intensifies the entire fight!

Never mind elation because it is in the grandstand of success.  No one in the world can take that away.  Owning every brave footstep is real.  Having the courage to continue when all “seems” lost.  Priceless victory!  Hurrah.
