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.
Turn away or forge ahead.
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 there is a big decision to be made.
Do you escape?
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 could that be?
How do you face your fear?
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.
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.
I knew I had lost my focus. I knew I had lost my momentum.
We can get discouraged by the lack of movement forward and stray from the plan that is designed to keep us moving ahead.
But with facing our fears, a renewed sense of purpose arrives.
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 failure is part of growing.
But there is glory in the effort.
Take incredible amounts of pride in your persistence.
Believe in yourself enough to keep trying despite failing over and over again.
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.
