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.
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.
How could it bring about such peace?
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.
You can just imagine the Captain of your ship gripping onto the helm as tight as possible screaming to his men to continue forward. There are no old ways. There's no turning back. There's only what's right in front of you.
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 when we face our deepest fears, our purpose returns back to us.
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 failure is part of growing.
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.
