Lots of hard work in that.Commitment and dedication to your goals are needed in 
Improving one’s life, however, the premise here is that though it is a noble goal to improve we should make sure it’s our own thought that we can get through that and decide that quitting is not an option. In other words, no matter how hard it gets I will not quit which means I am not doing that to impress anyone, prove anything to anyone but me.
I like this saying, that is, “Surround yourself with people who force you to do better”. I printed that out and I have that sitting on my TV stand.
Truth surrounds you — not with others who tell us what we want to hear, or, who mock and attempt to stop our seeking but surrounding ourselves with those who seek to understand and can teach us what we do not know.
Many blessings to you beloved.
For your hearing:
I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Philippians 3:14).
Amen. That is what I am doing in this season of my life…Not being angry about those who I want to be there and for whatever reason can’t be. But allowing God to surround me with those conducive to where I am going in Him… Nice read!
I am getting there too. Thanks for sharing.
