When Things Get Tight the Tide Will Turn

“When you get into a tight place and everything goes

against you till it seems you could not hold on a

minute longer, never give up then, for that is just

the place and time that the tide will turn.”

Harriet Beecher Stowe 1811 – 1896, Abolitionist, Author

As I see it. . . . . . . .

When things get tight the tide will turn

We will encounter times in your life that the things around you become overwhelming. . . . they will feel like an unrelenting tide sweeping into your life. They will seem that out of control and you will not to be able to overcome them.

In moments like those you may feel that it would be far easier to retreat and push back away from your goals and dreams. In reality it may be easier to push back then push forward.

But you will find that by pushing back, things will not improve. What you would find is that you have surrendered your goals and dreams for a false sense of short term comfort.

You will also find success in life is not achieved by surrendering but in standing firm in your resolve to push forward through the challenging times in your life and to remain standing.

Every storm will pass with time. You may not come through the storm without some bumps and bruises, but they will soon heal and you will find ourselves still standing.

What remains important as you whether the storms in your life, is to keep your goals and dreams as your beacon to guide you through the turbulences that you encounter. 

The storms in your life can turn you away from your goals and dreams, with your persistence the tide will turn to your favor. It becomes your choice to remain on course to achieve your goals and dream.

When things get tight the tide will turn . . . . when you make the choice to change it.
