Do you ever wonder...

Do you ever wonder when all the things you have been waiting for, all the things you have been working for, all the things you have been desiring will come to pass?...it's like they are light-years away, like you cannot fathom how you are going to get from where your at right now to where you want to be right now.

I have learned that you must not look at the "big picture" all at once sometimes, it can be exhausting, it can be completely mind-numbing how you will ever reach your hopes and your dreams when it may seem that you are starting in a place that is so far away from what your hopes and dreams are, but you must not let that stop you, you must take each step with the intention of getting there and knowing that with every step further you are one second, one day, one year closer to finally becoming that person you always knew you could be.

Sometimes if I let myself think about how time seems to keep moving and I seem to be at a stand-still, or how many times I've said 'tomorrow" instead of "today", or why in the world I for one second could ever think that I would be happy if this was as good as it gets...because the truth is, I couldn't, I couldn't even pretend, and if I didn't do anything else with my life and I died tomorrow I would be up there telling God that he must have made some sort of mistake, that he needed to give me another chance, because there was nothing that I did of meaning yet and I needed more time to make him proud, to fulfill what I was always meant to do.

The key is to not bite off more than you can chew, you need to take each day at a time, you need to figure out how you will get all the way from point A to point Z and then do it. YOU have to do it, you have to take this whole "life as we know it" thing and turn it into "life as we make it".

No one is going to make your life happen for you, you have to do it yourself, you have to decide to change, you have to make the most of every situation, you have to press-on, you have to know that there is no one else like you...not even close, so lets not waste anymore time, lets start living today so we can look forward to tomorrow.

I bid you all a farewell till tomorrow!

Warm Regards,
