There's only a moment.
A moment where you get to make the most important decision of your life. This moment arrives and can be gone in an instant. And there you are...moment upon you...with the ability to decide...
You either run away or run towards your fear.
The challenges that face us are there to determine whether we truly want it bad enough or not. We fight like hell to show our best stuff and time after time we are tried and tried again.
But the big decision to be made is all yours.
Do you escape?
Or do you run into your fear?
This moment tested me only a few days ago and was waiting for me to break. But I didn't. Rather, I faced the moment head on and forged ahead into the challenges that were due to come.
How could it bring about such peace?
How could more pressure settle everything?
It did. All I did with that was nod my head and know that instead of re-routing my entire life I actually had to continue down the path I was currently on. I kept on hearing the voice inside saying...
Then, forge ahead.
You're almost there, don't quit now.
You can just imagine the Captain of your ship gripping onto the helm as tight as possible screaming to his men to continue forward. There are no old ways. There's no turning back. There's only what's right in front of you.
I knew I had lost my focus. I knew I had lost my momentum.
I was looking constantly to see if the end result was there and it was always "just right around the corner." But I didn't see the whole thing through. I didn't stay according to plan because of discouragement.
But with facing our fears, a renewed sense of purpose arrives.
And when your purpose comes back, there is an endless fire inside raging to keep you moving ahead.
We strive to be the grandest versions of ourselves daily and most of the time we come up short. But that's the beautiful part of all of this. Because without seeing beyond what we are right now we can never grow. We must see what is inside of us and attempt to bring out those characteristics to the best of our ability.
Yes failure is part of growing.
But there is glory in the effort.
Take pride in your persistence.
Take pride in the effort you have given in the past.
Your scars and your victories define you. They make you. They are things to be proud of.
The ones who work in the dark of night are our heroes. They are the ones who constantly forge ahead no matter how bad things may have been.
