Every broken PIECE needs to be fixed; Every broken PEOPLE needs to retreat We all go through disappointments, setbacks and lost; pain is part of life, it's easy to get discourage or even bitter asking, "Why is this happening to me? Often we look at pieces in our life that does not make sense. Most of the time we bring pain to ourselves by getting into drugs, alcohol and relationships; and now it's painful to deal with the consequences. The key is what we do in times of pain. All of us experience pain and my challenge to you is to retreat and never to surrender. To retreat is an opportunity to get stronger, better, gain confidence and grow in character. Difficulties is a part of life you may not see yourself growing through it but when you retreat you will see that you are well able. There will always be forces telling us to settle where we are, it has a way of pushing our dreams down. They can be buried under discouragement, buried under past mistakes, buried under divorce, buried under low self-esteem; it's easy to settle for mediocrity and let go of the dream buried inside of us. A true mark of a champion is that he knows when to retreat and take refuge but will never surrender to the fight.
