And NOW you STAND...

[Ambien1711]

And when you have done ALL you can do, now STAND.....

Ephesians 6:13

When you have tried all the drugs, treatment, therapies and counselors and are still getting nowhere, THAT is the time to do a full-fledged commitment that you will not give up, that you will CONTINUE STANDING.

If it's all you can do just to get trough each day...just do that....ALL that is required in this LIFE is that you TRY TO DO YOUR BEST with what you were given and what you know at any given time. Our mistakes are made because we do not have the knowledge to make better choices at that time. Or maybe we DO have the knowledge, but NOT the understanding. Do NOT blame yourself for your mistakes. They are NOT mistakes, per se, but are TEACHERS.

It is NOT required of you that you look good, make a lot of money, get married, have a great relationship, have lots of friends, have a great job/etc. It is ONLY required that you TRY to do your very best with what you are given in this life. Looking back on your life now, did you TRY? Did you TRY to make a good decision even though it turned out awful? Did you TRY to repair that relationship? If so, then great! If not, then there is your teaching moment. In this latter case, then what is required is that you LEARN. Learn from when you did not try your best. And then you shall have what you need to start TRYING to do BETTER.

And when you have LEARNED your LESSON, when you have TRIED your best, and when things are still going AWRY, just STAND.

I want to give a toast today....to LEARNING, TRYING & STANDING!!!

NEVER give UP!
