Believe in something greater than yourself
I grew up in church, and still try to go regularly. It defines a great part of who I am. Now, I know that church isn’t for everyone. But having the belief in something greater than yourself, no matter what it is, needs to be there with you as you walk the path. I’m not talking about worship or dogma. I’m talking about belief. Now, whatever you find in your heart of hearts that is greater than yourself is a personal journey all on its own. But the knowledge of some greater reasoning will hopefully comfort you. For you, maybe your family is what you believe in. Or your teammates. Belief gives you strength you didn’t know you had and a well of reserve you wouldn’t think possible. It is vital that you believe in yourself; in your abilities and capacity to accomplish amazing things. But it is just as important to realize that there is something greater than you that you can draw from. The path we walk is long, and the night is dark. So we have to believe that we will make it through this journey better off than when we started. And I believe you will.
