Hold the line.....

A phrase used in ancient battles.........(and even today, in day-to-day life)...

In everyday life we are faced with challenges, pressure-possibly from work, relationships or other sources. Often than not, one feels worn out from this-sometimes opting to end that which causes the pressure. But what if you hold the line.....

Hold the line-when there is a promotion coming up and you get passed on it.

Hold the line-when the relationship you are in feels like walking bare footed on a path with broken glasses.

Hold the line-when all these expectations and plans you have seem not to fall in place, for there are some pieces not ready yet, (I believe in God, so at this point I would say He is still helping you develop the pieces, sometimes because you requested Him to or because He is just being nice to you)...but you need to hold the line....

In the world of Physics (not that I am a Physicist), for every action, there is and equal but opposite reaction(maybe not a one to one description of Newton's third Law)-chances are, if you hold the line, the pressure you are facing will yield and you will be victorious.

Difficult situations will come your way, no doubt......

But you need to remember...hold the line.....hold the line....
