There’s something that is bigger than you think in your future

For thousands of years, wild blueberries have grown naturally in rocky hills, tough terrains and fields. Wild blueberries are much smaller in size than cultivated berries and vary in color from different shades of dark blue to almost black. Often found in Maine and Canada, the berries grow in extremely rugged conditions. Adapting to fridge cold temperatures and harsh climates, wild blueberries have the ability to thrive in such trying, difficult surroundings. The hardiness it takes to survive these climates makes them naturally richer in anthocyanin than cultivated berries. Amazingly, wild blueberries grow on their own. There is no one there to plant them. And, as they grow in the rocky landscape, low and wide, randomly covering the fields, harvesters have to kneel down on the ground to reach them.

It was purported that the Native Americans observed, “When wildfire occurred, the only thing that would grow in its path afterward were wild blueberry plants.” Wild blueberry plants can be damaged, broken or burned to the ground, and they would come back stronger and healthier than ever before.

Do you sometimes think that you don’t have the strength to prevail over the challenges by which you are confronted? Maybe you’ve enduring bitter disappointments, emotional wounds, an unfair situation, or perhaps, nobody seems to understand what you’ve been through. And now you feel like quitting and surrendering to defeat.

Yet, I want to encourage you to never give up. God created you to be resilient and brave, and you can overcome anything that you come up against. For you will not only survive what you face, but similar to the wild blueberries, you will thrive and come back stronger than ever before. Keep going, there’s something that is bigger than you think in your future.

I’m reminded about a great motivational teacher and writer, Napoleon Hill, who made a careful study of successful individuals. This was his conclusion: “Most people have achieved their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.”

Most often, setbacks are chances to come back even stronger. You can rise above whatever is trying to push you down and claim the highest goals that you set for yourself. Dream on the largest scale possible, because anything is within your reach if you are will
