It's a brief 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.
You either run away or run towards your fear.
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 fight?
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.
How could it bring about such peace?
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 it gets hard.
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.
At times, we lose our focus and our 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 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 failure is part of growing.
But there's great victory in even the defeats.
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 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.
