It's a brief 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...
You either run away or run towards your fear.
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 you do get to decide.
Do you run?
Or do you fight?
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.
How could it bring about such peace?
How do you face your fear?
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...
So forge ahead.
Don't quit when it gets 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.
At times, we lose our focus and our 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 a renewed sense of purpose came to me.
And when your purpose comes back, there is an endless fire inside raging to keep you moving ahead.
We must continuously strive to be the greatest versions of ourselves despite the fact that we come up short over and over again. We have to see beyond who we are now to keep ourselves growing and developing.
Yes we will fail time and time again.
But there's great victory in even the defeats.
Take incredible amounts of pride in your persistence.
Take pride in your grand efforts and grand failings.
The scars you carry and the victories you have had define you as a great soul that has never stood in the stands wondering "what if?"
The ones who work in the dark of night are our heroes. They are the ones who constantly forge ahead no matter how bad things may have been.
