Life has taught me so many things in a short period of time of my precious years here on earth. One can grow through situations that was meant to destroy you. It does not mean that I have everything under control now but I sure have a better idea how to react to situations now. Previously decisions were made based on what others thought. Looking back now there are footprints of seeking approval from others. Not feeling worthy of myself. Always trying to fit in somewhere.
How naive can one be?? The money and time spent on senseless things. How time really passed by partying it away. Lived in the now moments and not planning and thinking of the future. The many dreams that were dreamt during childhood times were hidden far away. The feeling of achievement because now there is more than enough money to buy all the things you could never buy. Simply because there was just enough for what was needed and not wanted. You always thought that if you finish school you will get a permanent work somewhere. That is the assurance then that you reach success and dont have to worry anymore. You have the certainty that you will have a job everyday.
Having the job you wanted now, which is permanent ofcoz, lets you think is this it?? The process it went through until the permanent job was not a easy one. It surely had lows all the way. One interview after the other turned down. Especially if you dont have the experience directly after your school years. It is so evident that it had to require perserverance to get to the end result. To think at that moment you only wanted a permanent work. It did not matter the type of work. How desperate can one be??
So how desperate are you to go after what you want?
When looking back on your life , you should evaluate the process that you went through that made you end up where you are now. Are you satisfied or are you still striving? Did you do anything to get what you want? Are you happy with where you are currently? Did you move with purpose and dedication to accomplish what your heart so desire?
How did you end here??? This is the question you should ask yourself right now??
One can have all the plans set out for ourselves but when things dont fall in place you can easily give up. You can easily stop looking for better oppertunities. Personally I dont believe that is what God had in mind when He created us. He want us too be the best we can be. Have dominion over the earth and create our own life. We are the masters of our lifes and we belong to a Great Master who created us in His image. He surely has only the best in mind for us, but it will definitely require teamwork here.
If only you knew then what you know now. Wow to think of all the promises set out for us. We are really richly blessed with spiritual blessings when we come back to our Father God.
All the years searching for a job taught me the ability to be strong through tough times. To push harder when one door was shut. Even though it was not felt in those times but it was the Lord God who made me so strong. His grace gave me the ability. How much more can I persevere now that I am working together with Him.
It is amazing to think that even when we go through situations that looks impossible at that moment leads to great end results and you say: "'Sjoe I made it. I dont know how but I did."
For a couple of years there were times of spiritual blindness. Going with the crowd. Experiencing things which did not end well. But what is so shocking is that the hunger for more of these "bad" things kept on repeating itself until it brought me to a still stand. The day when one have to reflect back and evaluate all the actions with the results. It was definitely not pleasant results or memories.
This however brought me to the day when I came to myself. I asked:" Is this who you are for real"?
I didnt like that person at all. Ashamed, dirty, unworthy and guilty, ugly and just plain nasty.
But God. That is really Love I felt when I came to myself.
Sometimes it takes a lifetime to realise who you are. What you are created for. Why you are here.
Why you need to go through tough times.
We get distracted along the road when we are building our life. Many nice times , nice to haves make our minds to go crazy and then we forget the whole vision we had from the start. How do one get on track then?
It may take 31 years to realise you were off track. In fact we think if we once got of track it is meant to be over. One can not help but to share the pitfalls to those still maturing and becoming there best version.
Dont loose focus. Remenber how difficult it was to get where you are now. Why did you stop to become who you picture yourself to be??
Dreams without goals is dead. Start writing your vision down again. Start afresh. Just start again to dream. The limits you have right now are in your mind.
Start with what you have. Push through. Your breaktrough is closer then you know.
JUST DONT STOP MOVING< DREAM>WRITINGDOWNYOURVISION>
