Slingshot

I remember when I was a kid, I always used to collect rocks and fire them with my slingshot, most of the time not to cause any danger lol, just pure fun. Well, these rocks came in different shapes and sizes. When shooting I would test myself to see how far each rock would travel, or if I was able to hit a target that was at a distance. I noticed, the harder I pulled back my slingshot, the further the rock would fly.  Grasp this!! Life can sometimes be compared to the slingshot in many ways.  For instance, picture the slingshot itself as your life, and you are the rock, and that force or (arm) that is pulling you back is God.  Now, when life is getting difficult and you feel as if you are being pulled back in some sort of way, remember that the force that is pulling you back is doing this to teach us lessons, to gain a further understanding of your being, so that you can grow.  The sweetest thing about being pulled back is that, you are being set up to be thrown into something greater, a further point than where you last stood.  So do not resist the pulling back of life, work through it, let it be, you are the rock in the slingshot, trust your journey, because when it is time for you to fly, you will fly!
