Do you ever think, "Why me or Why do these things always happen to me?"
And even..."I can never get ahead...I am jinxed."
For some reason, adversity keeps showing up in your life even though you are seemly doing your best to do everything right.
I get it I have felt the same for a number of years.
I would throw myself ALLiN into achieving a goal, I would make quick progress, and then all of a sudden, things would break.
If I were moving toward a transformation in my body, I would end up getting sick.
If I were pushing to take the relationship with my wife to the next level, one of us would get triggered, we'd end up in an argument and drift away from each other.
Or in business, I would get a few quick wins, and then progress would come to a halt, or some would go wrong or break.
Initially, my response was to stuff what I was feeling about it and push on ignoring the story and the feelings of feeling a bit like a victim to the circumstance.
Not seeing each of these moments was serving me to getting me what I want.
That each of these moments was testing my faith and perseverance and showing me a new direction or a piece I can grow.
I share this with you because maybe the adversity you are facing is things just not working, and I encourage you to take a step back self reflect, and see the lesson that is being taught because these trials just might be for your benefit.
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
