Hold on tight. Your world is shaking, pulling you away in every direction. No matter how hard you try to stay steady, the obstacles keep knocking you down.

Temptations tugging on one side, trials pressing from the other. Exhaustion and frustration weigh you down and at times it feels like you can't take another step. But look closer. There's a rope stretched out to anchor you, unbreakable and firm. And it's on you to keep your grip steady.
