Right now I am at a point in my life that is full of
questions that don’t seem to have answers—or if they do have answers, they are
not the answers that I want. I
call it the drive phase. In relation to track and field, the drive phase is one
of the most important parts of a sprinters race. WHY? Well yes, you may have
not got out the blocks before the person next to you but if you execute your
drive phase properly, you can not only catch back up, you can pass the lanes
that surround you. Right now I am doing nothing that I love to do. It sucks to
admit it, but it’s the truth. I feel like I am failing right now only because I
am so ambitious and I only want to see myself do great things. That ambition is
a gift and a curse. For example: I wanted nothing more than to go to a great
university and to obtain a degree. I went to a great university and I did just
that. Yes it too ambition but at the same time on the day that I graduated from
that great university I was spending my day dwelling on what I was going to do
next not even giving myself that particular day to let it all marinate. As
humans we must not ever forget to be grateful for all things that come into our
lives—small wins are wins just like big wins are wins.
Fast forward to where I am today: I have goals and dreams.
Right now I am not living out my dreams but I am doing what I need to do to one
day be able to say that I have accomplished my dreams.. Do you work all day
long doing something you don’t feel you are destined to do while still being
proactive in pursuing your dream? Or do you just feel under valued and not
appreciated? The point of this post is just to tell anyone who may have been
feeling down about where they are in this present moment in life that you can
do it. Whatever it is I just want you to know that you are not alone. We all go
through the phases of life and all of them are not going to be the best moments
of our lives. If success was easy to attain, then we would all be rich and
famous.
Stay in your drive phase and take all the necessary steps to
come out of it on top. Know that you aren’t by yourself in the struggle, as
well. There are people near you who are going through the same thing and there
is a higher being who sees it all taking form… Just know that it’s all going to be ok!!! Whatever you want to happen in your
life will happen if you go about it the right way and put your trust in the
right being!
John 16:32-33
"A time is
coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home.
You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this
world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
