Simply 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...
Turn away or forge ahead.
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 run into your fear?
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 could that be?
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.
Don't quit when things get hard.
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.
I knew I had lost my focus. I knew I had lost my 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 must always look beyond who we are now and see what we are truly capable of. If we can continuously do this, we can become something far greater than the person we are at the moment. We compete with our potential. We compete with who we are destined to become.
Yes we will fail time and time again.
But there is glory in the effort.
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.
The ones who are quietly working in the late of night are our heroes.
