The BridgeSample

Take a moment to evaluate where you are today. Perhaps you realize you are not where you had hoped to be. However, as you measure yourself, you will see how much you have achieved. The beauty of life is not found only in the greatest moments that may come our way, but also in the small details of every day. If we do not evaluate our days, we may miss the beautiful moments that silently waited there. 

Evaluation teaches us that a bad second is not a bad minute. A bad minute doesn’t make a bad hour. A bad hour doesn’t mean a bad day. A bad day is not a bad month. A bad month does not lead to a bad year, and a bad year does not mean you have lived a bad life. Despite everything you have faced in the past, walk onward, and fix your sight on what’s to come. 

No one can stop a person who walks with the conviction that life matters—that the future is secure—because, while there may be difficulties, they have the ability to keep moving even when everything is fighting against them. The ability to walk in spite of difficulty is called courage. 

When you evaluate your life, you will realize that you are worth more than you thought you were worth and that you can achieve more than you thought you could achieve. You only need to carry into the future that which you desire to see there. The path to the future is a journey, and you need not carry a heavy burden. When the past ceases to be heavy, you can walk through life freely. Nevertheless, you have survived 100 percent of the battles you have faced, and here you are, ready to fight again to reach the end of the path that leads to your promised land. 

Evaluation gives us essential information, not only about our input, but also about our outcome. It’s time to evaluate your footmark to know if you are walking toward your goal. I know we don’t always like to evaluate, but it’s the only way to elevate. Goals are not reached by mere desire; they are rewards to people who work hard and perspire.
