There's only a moment.
A moment where the biggest deacon of your life comes upon you. A moment in the dark.
Turn away or forge ahead.
The challenges never end. They come upon you without mercy and test your resolve, foundation, and character without rest. The challenges are there to teach you and see what you are made of.
But you do get to decide.
Do you escape?
Or do you anchor in?
This moment had arrived upon my doorstop only a few days ago and I had to make one of the biggest decisions of my life. Initially I thought it would bring about more confusion, but interestingly enough, it brought about a sense of peace and clarify.
But how could that be?
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...
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 a renewed sense of purpose came to me.
And with that purpose, the fire inside started to light again. Another day, another effort, and another opportunity to move forward in the direction I wished for.
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 we will fail.
But there is glory in the effort.
Take pride in your persistence.
Take pride in your grand efforts and grand failings.
The scars and the victories define you and make you into a bold soul that encourages any action that may bring on victory or defeat.
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.
