A friend of mine used this quote and it's exactly what i was looking for...
" i am not going to sit here and tell you that you can do this day in and day out, because the honest truth is if you don't believe you can, then you can't. You have to do this for you, thats the honest truth. and if you do not want it hard enough, then you sure as hell will not achieve it. So go ahead and take the easy way out. I never said this would be easy, I said it would be WORTH it "
I do however believe that in the long-haul, the best choices in life won't be easy ones, and the right choice won't be the easy way out, but it is worth it.
Trying to keep my head held high, and my smile shining because I know in my heart that God has my back through this all, and no right now it definitely isn't seeming to be easy, but it's worth it.
