Forging Ahead Into The Unknown
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...
Run away or run forward.
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 there is a big decision to be made.
Do you run off?
Or do you anchor in?
This moment came to me only a few days ago upon making one of the bigger decisions of my life. A moment that could have added massive amounts of confusion and yet brought about clarity. In a quarter of the year that was very confusing, stressful, and demanding that I step up to the plate and really give it everything I could have...this moment, a test, delivered a huge sigh of relief.
But how do you make that decision to forge ahead?
How could more pressure settle everything?
Because once you make a decision to face your fears instead of run from them you become something far greater than who you are right now. You don't run scared. You don't surrender. Instead, you face what you were destined to face.
Then, forge ahead.
You're almost there, don't quit now.
Yes...and there was the Captain again gripping the wheel even tighter ready to continue plowing through trying waters. There was no turning back. There was no going in another direction. There was only what was right in front of him and what he had seen all those months ago.
Many times we will lose our focus and 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'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 we will fail time and time again.
But there should be pride in the defeat.
Take pride in your persistence.
Believe in yourself enough to keep trying despite failing over and over again.
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.
