Stay and Stand Strong

Stay and Stand Strong

There are so many circumstances and situations we encounter in our daily life, at a point we wonder if we can survive or we should just give in.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up... 

It's always easy to run down the stairs and very tasky  and difficult to climb up. 

Yes,  you should be tired, it's better to just give up so as to avoid all the humiliation and harassment you get everyday. 

But wait before you do, read this short story, let's see if you would still want to give up or Stand and Stay Strong. 

The Oak Tree"

A mighty wind blew night and day
It stole the oak tree's leaves away,
then snapped it's boughs
and pulled it's bark until the oak was tired and stark.
But still the oak tree held it's ground
while other trees fell all around...
The weary wind gave up and spoke,

"How can you still be standing, Oak?"
The oak tree said, "I know that you can break each branch of mine in two, carry every leaf away,

shake my limbs, and make me sway.
But I have roots stretched in the earth,
growing stronger since my birth.
You'll never touch them, for you see,
they are the deepest part of me.
Until today, I wasn't sure
of just how much I could endure.

But now I've found, with thanks to you,
I'm stronger than I ever knew."
~ Johnny Ray Ryder, Jr. ~

There are few lessons I want you to hold on to...

=> The Oak tree stood it's Ground, it's just a a tree, common, you are made after the likeness of your creator, he gave you the power and authority to rule and dominate, that makes you a leader over the things he created, you have to realize this fact, You must Stand and Hold your Ground. You have all it takes, you are to give Hope to your followers, so many destinies are attached to yours, the moment you give way to the storm, they will all perish, I urge you to Rise leader! Take your stand and Hold the Ground.

=> Do not be Ignorant of the wind (people that will talk you down, passion and Vision Killers, shake you down, cut you down, silent you). The oak tree was not, that was why it strengthen it's root and that made it hold its ground. You have to strengthen your root, encourage and believe in yourself, yes you can achieve it, yes you can make it, it's in you, make the decision to strengthen your innerself (root). Don't let your innerself to be weak, the oak tree new this and protected it's innerself (root) , protect yours too. DO NOT GIVE IN.

=> Find  your Purpose. It will make you stay Focused. It will help you stand your ground and Stand the test of time.
If you don't stand for something, you will fall for any thing... Keep that in mind!

=> Finally, you are a step ahead to achieving that great goal so be thankful, just as the oak tree was thankful.

Philippians  4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

I trust you will not want to give in to given up again, STAY AND STAND STRONG.

your comments are of great value, don't forget to drop them. Thanks. I know you will come back for more...
