You Must Push Past The Pause

Every now and then, life presses pause on our plans. A job doesn’t go through. A door we were counting on closes. Our energy dips, and our motivation slips. But here’s the truth: a pause is not the same as a stop.

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill

You may feel stuck today. You may feel like progress has slowed to a crawl. But let me encourage you—even in the pause, you’re being prepared. Seeds grow in silence before they sprout. Muscles grow during rest. Breakthrough often comes after a season of stillness.

Here’s a quick story:

A man once climbed a mountain trail every day to gain strength. One day, the fog was thick and the path unclear, but he still took the steps, slowly and cautiously. When he reached the top, he realized the climb was what had made him strong—not just the view. He learned that even uncertain steps forward still move you ahead.

📖 Scripture for the Day:

“Be not weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” – Galatians 6:9

🎯 Challenge for Today:

Don’t confuse a delay with a denial. Don’t let discouragement define your day. Pick one thing you’ve been putting off—just one—and take action on it today. Progress is powerful, even if it’s small.

😂 A little humor to lift you up:

Why did the scarecrow win an award?

Because he was outstanding in his field!

So are you. Stay motivated. Keep climbing. Your breakthrough could be just one more step away.
