There's only a moment.
There's this little moment that comes upon you like a whisper in the dark. It's just there for a second and then it can be gone. But oh how important it is.
Run away or run forward.
The challenges that face us continue on no matter what. They will continue to test you daily if you are designed to rise to the greatest heights.
But you do get to decide.
Do you run off?
Or do you anchor in?
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.
But how do you make that decision to forge ahead?
How could peace come out of such a test?
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.
In a sense, you can almost see the Captain of a ship deciding to head straight into the challenging waters and urging his men to keep their faith. Similarly, you have to do this with your fears.
Many times we will lose our focus and momentum.
We fail to stick according to plan because we are discouraged by a lack of movement forward.
But a renewed sense of purpose came to me.
And when your purpose comes back, there's a fire deep inside of you raging to continue on.
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 should be pride in the defeat.
Take seriously pride in your endless persistence.
Take pride in your grand efforts and grand failings.
Your scars and your victories define you. They make you. They are things to be proud of.
These are our heroes. Those who may not necessarily be in the lights...but who forge ahead in the darkness...shedding a light of their own.
