Sometimes the elevator gotta break

The Journey of Growth: Why Taking the Stairs Shapes Your Soul

Sometimes the elevator gotta break

Sometimes the elevator has to break down so you'll take the stairs.

When you take the stairs, you learn how to climb. And when you learn how to climb, you discover the hardships that come with the journey.

You may get tired, but keep climbing.

You may need to take a break, but keep climbing.

You may look up and feel discouraged because you still have a long way to go, but keep climbing.

You may get frustrated because other people are passing you, but keep climbing.

You may want to quit because you don't think you're going to make it, but keep climbing.

You may even stumble and fall back a few steps, but keep climbing.

With tears running down your face, keep climbing.

Then, when you finally reach the top and look back at how far you've come, you'll realize the climb made you stronger, wiser, and better.

The elevator may have gotten you there faster, but the climb shaped you into the person God needed you to be.
