Ever have a hankering for a wonderful scoop of ice cream?
You look in the freezer and there is a container with your favorite flavor, brand new, glistening with temptation and flavor.
You’ve got the bowl ready as well as the scooper and you take out the container and then you struggle having to open it up. Once you finally get it open the reward is there just waiting for you. You take that scooper and then all of a sudden you realize it’s not breaking through the top layer because that is frozen. You persevere, you press harder finally there’s a breakthrough and a small scoop of ice cream rest itself in the scooper. Dejected, disappointed and frustrated, you place it in the bowl and then you go back for more. You realize of course that the deeper you go into that ice cream the easier it is to remove larger and larger scoops until finally you’re done and you’re ready to savor the fruits of your labor. Of course you have to use greater strength, perseverance and work hard but at the end you know it’s worth it.
Isn’t it a shame that in life when you see something you want very badly and there are so many obstacles that are placed in front of you that you don’t even bother to uncover it. And once you do the surface is so hard to penetrate you say it’s not for me I’m going to give up, I’m going walk away I’m not going be able to pursue and achieve what is rightfully mine.
From this moment on, keep digging for it for what is rightfully yours. If it takes more strength, harder work and perseverance, then by all means do it!
Remember you won’t quit the ice cream challenge and therefore you must accept all the challenges that life puts in front of you so that you may scoop out everything all that is offered to you.
