The moment i started reading it, i was hooked. i never realized how much truth and impact one book could contain! i had a hard time putting it down. I never before had realized that we had such low expectations set for our generation. I couldn't believe how much truth their really was in it. Not letting people get you down because you are young. and the way that teens have the bar set so low and only do wat is expected of them, but some, if the bar is set higher, we reach and try to exceed the expectations. I am one of the teens that have so many things to say but never find a way to say it. I realized about 4 weeks ago how important God is in our lives. I went to a youth camp for a weekend with out youth group, and from there on i have been speading more time in church praising God. I try to help those around me that dont understand. And the way this book puts everything, just helps it easier to understand. Now that i no there are others out there that are Christians my age, i feel alot better. i look around and hear people saying things and doing things that arent the best. i have even been told that their is no God and that it is all a bunch of hype. And the way i replied was sorta simple. I said that i would rather die knowing God as my Savior, and find out that their isnt one, and all my beliefs never hurt ne thing, than die and see that there is one a God, and get damned to hell. but since then i have been praying for that person and i hope that if ne one ever has that happen to them that they are NOT afraid to speak your mind and tell them what u believe in right!

Go after God. And Do Hard Things."</i> Very, very good. I am afraid I have been comparing myself to the people around me and thinking, "Wow. Your really are doing good." Wrong. Compared to the people I know, maybe, but to God, NO WAY!!! Thanks Elizabeth! God bless! Sarah. :) “Quit comparing yourself to others. Go after God. And Do Hard Things.”

That is one thing God has been teaching me for a while- about comparing yourself with others. It's a huge mountain that I'm still climbing over. This totally helps! Thank you! Keep up the great writing! Wow! You hit the bullseye with that one. That is one thing God has been teaching me for a while- about comparing yourself with others.

Very true---especially that part about pride. The more prideful we are, usually the farther we find ourselves off course. And you said that and incorporated it wonderfully. This challenged me a lot.

I think what is very much needed among our youth today is perserverence, and the want to go farther. Great post! May God bless you I have often felt God saying to me ” Go further, try harder”.

I'm now a college student and a 'good guy', but the struggle of complacency and arrogance that comes from judging other people is one I have everyday, and Do Hard Things really challenges that complacency.
