The Next Step

Life is like staircase and when one of the stairs end we run into the next step, just like a wall. Some of us don't climb up to the the next step, because it is to scary, or the step is to big. Then their are some that have realized the only to learn, to grow is to climb. The struggles in the climb try and hold these people down, but they want more.

In my life I was one of the people that saw the stair as to big, I saw all the reasons I couldn't take the step and and all the pains in the climb instead of seeing that even though change may hurt, it is worth it. Were do you find yourself today?

The stairs are a way to get you to the next level in life. In our relationships, our marriages it is easy to get on the first step, it is very easy, but the steps to follow get harder and harder, because there is so much that gets put in our way. We start having the feelings of growing tired and weary, or that we are all alone in the climb. We struggle to see what could be on the next step, because man this last step was very difficult, but we just don't know.

On the stairs we can go both ways. Some people want to go backwards because they say it is easier, they want to go down, but they find that in the decent, it is not easier and full of the old pains, the old hurts, the old struggles.

Today I don't want to go backwards, I want to continue going up, seeing the next step. I don't want to go through the motions of life, I want to make the choices and stick with them, no matter how hard or painful it may be. I want to move forward, onward and upward. The easiest things in life are not always the right things. In the struggles, there is so much more. In our relationships, there is a deeper connection if we are willing to walk hand in hand and deal with the issues that come are way together.

Who told you love would be easy all the time? Who ever said life would be easy? There are struggles, there is pain, but how are you going to handle it today? Are you going to give up and say the step is to big, or are you going to continue pressing forward? I want to urge you that the climb is worth it, because the way down is full of worse things then the way up. I have tried the downward path and it hurts, but even though the climb is high, it is full of life and more.

Don't be afraid, for today is a new day. It is the first day of the rest of your life. Are you ready to take the climb, or do you want to stay where you are?
