You Have The Strength Within To Move Life's Mountains

pexels.com

Let's admit it, life can truly suck at times.

When life has gotten you down to the point you feel there is no return, you must find the strength within to keep fighting. Life has a way of presenting the worst to you as you're right around the corner from the best. Don't give up on the journey to your best life, your best you!

Obstacles, or mountains as I call them, come in our lives to distract us.

They come to cause us to change our path, but guess what? You have the power to move those mountains. You have the power to get over those mountains. You have the power to keep moving forward!

We often times don't tap into the power we possess out of fear or anxiety. If we learned to take the mountains as learning experiences instead of dead ends in life, then we might be able to be further ahead of remaining fully esteemed.

Don't allow the anxiousness and pressure of climbing or moving the mountain to cause you to go backward.

Your greatest moments will be when you get to the other side. Hang on!

You have what it takes to get through this moment.

Everything you need is within you. Remember these mountains aren't here to kill you but just to show you the strength, power, and wisdom you possess inside.

You are capable of more than you can imagine.

The pressures of life can cause you to second guess yourself and all that you are made of. Though the path to your future isn't one of ease, the reward is worth every portion of the journey.

Every part of our journey is to build us up in a manner that we have something to reflect on.

As we travel through the journey of life, it's important to remember that each mountain that blocks us, teaches us something that will benefit us in some way in the future. You may not always understand at that moment exactly how that lesson will benefit you, but when the time is right, you will surely say, "I'm grateful for that moment."

Speak to those mountains that come in your path. Awaken the power that inside you. Whatever you do, never turn back. Your future is ahead of you, your past has nothing to offer you. This mountain in front of you can be moved if you tap into the power within.

Learn from this moment, stay positive and always keep going in the direction of your dreams! You've got this!

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
