I can’t remember when or if this has stopped but, when I was a kid, I remember the public service announcement would come on across the bottom of the tv screen. And a voice would say, this is a test, this is only a test. And that’s what I want to tell you today. Whatever you are going through, it’s a test, it is only a test.
Failing is the easiest way of dealing with any test. But it is also the costliest. It costs more time, more energy, more money. Because we will have to deal with that same test again and the next time it will be harder. It also costs us emotionally, intellectually, and sometimes it costs us relationships when we fail tests. Especially when we repeatedly fail the same test.
I would like to say that retaking the test is our only option. For some of us it is and for some it is not. Giving up is an option for some people. But it should not be. Giving up always seems easier but it’s not. Giving up allows us to get to a place, and once we get to that place we begin to die internally, intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially.
