I find it funny how we go through life trying to figure out who we are; when sometimes, on that journey inward, we can get further from ourselves. In times like this we are forced to go back to simpler times, to reflect on our past and really remember who we are. Remembering how we had complete and total faith as a child that things inevitably, will always get better (even when it didn't seem like it). Knowing that we are always learning more and are able to do more things.
Think about when you got your first bike. You were excited, maybe a little nervous, but you couldn't wait to ride. Eager to master the bike, so you wouldn't fall. Maybe using training wheels at first, and then gaining the courage to ride on two wheels. Just you and the wind. Remember how you felt about yourself. Free and accomplished.
For those of us who didn't quite practice riding a bike, we just hopped on and "rode like the wind"...until we fell...hard. Well, let us learn from that experience too. We do need to work to get what we want. Sometimes the work isn't always viewed as fun, but maybe we can capture that excitement we had about riding a bike and apply it to our current situation. The end result...what we are working so hard for...always pays off.
Looking back at moments like this, reminds us that we really can make things fun and simple. We have a desire, and do all the practice we need to do. And finally we figure out how to do the task at hand. As adults, we have the tendency to make things harder than they really are. We wait until we are "ready" to do the very thing that we want to do. When are we really ready? Don't we get to decide when we're ready? It's like we're sitting around waiting for someone to tell us that it is our time. Our time is always now.
We have the ability to accomplish whatever we know is right for us. It does take planning and preparation. But that is part of what makes attaining our goal so rewarding...the "work". We just need to be sure that what we are striving for is created and executed with Love. That what we are doing is for our highest good, and that will inevitably be good for those around us as well. Loving ourselves enough to follow our dreams is really what accomplishment is all about. When we love ourselves enough and know that God has great things in store for us, we can do anything. He is always there helping...even when we don't see or acknowledge Him.
I encourage you, no matter where you are in life, if there is something that you feel called to do, go for it! If it takes money you don't currently have, then start saving for it, you'll be one step closer than you were yesterday. Each day is a new day that we can do differently from yesterday.
Love, Peace and Blessings to YOU!
