Run this race (called life) to

1 Corinthians 9:24 "Do you not know that in a race, all the runners run, but only one recieves the prize? So Run that you may obtain it.

I know for all of us, we are all running or moving trying to move forward in life to obtain something. Maybe for you, you are going throughout your daily life to earn a good education or work at your job to get a good education. Whatever your condition, you are striving for something in life.

Maybe you are striving to improve yourself physically, or master how to walk again. Maybre you are conditioning yourself for a race. Maybe you are trying to be a good spouse or father or mother.

I know, for me, I have had to discipline myself in my efforts to become a better young man and a discplined and successful young man, regardless of my physical condition. Even though I may have suffered a severe head injury and was paralyzed, had very little cognitive capabilities, I have had to daily choose to fight and discipline myself to push past the "limitations" which may have been put on me through people's words, diagnoses, or anything else which may have hindered me. I have had to not believe lies that I am considered "disabled".  I have kept this verse as a motivator for me and pushed past many "limitations" and through God's help and the my faith in Jesus Christ I have successfully arrived at Liberty UNiversity today.

Maybe you're trying to run this "race" called life, yet you feel competely unable to truly make any real accomplishments.

A long time ago, I had to realize that if I am going to have sny real success in life, I had to make many different descions that may have caused me to get out of my comfort zone or made me feel uncomfortable. There will always be situations that will arise in your life, and if you truly want to succeed and/o grow as a person you will have to face your fears.

I have had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ since I was about 6, and there is no way I would be where I am today without Christ in my life. Yes, you need to learn to push past your fears and take risks in life, but you need Christ in your life if you are going to have any real success.   Many people are completely  exhausted in life because they keep trying to strive to succeed on their own. Their is a deep emptiness in each of us, and many people will do everything they can to fill that emptiness. I challenge you to believe in Christ and trust Him as your savior. Find a local church to get connected to. We were created for a purpose, and that purpose is to have an eternal relationship with Jesus Christ, the only Person who will ever truly satisfy the emptiness that causes so many people to live their lives in misery and isolation.
