Worse before better

There are times in life when we feel bound to a situation or a bad habit. When we try to break free or improve, things seem to get worse. We feel handicapped because not only do we have the same workload as before, but now we also have to deal with our elephant of a problem. If we get angry and start to blame God and/or others, it’s a sign that we feel hopeless about the matter.

Yes, things tend to get worse before they get better – this seems to be relative to the severity of the problem we’re dealing with. We can speed up the process when we take initiative to implement the change we need.

Regardless of the situation or bad habit, the process will take place sooner or later. The good news is that in most situations, we can choose to go through that process sooner than later and faster than slower.

Knowing this can change our hopelessness into hopefulness.
