FRIDAY THOUGHTS #123: IT'S A MARATHON

 

It's a marathon.

Each and every few years, I learn something important more and more. More and more each year I am realizing that this entire life pursuit is simply a marathon...not a sprint. You may have plans for certain situations, however, I promise you many of those situations will turn out completely DIFFERENT than expected lol, life in itself is stranger than fiction - it's incredible the seemingly insane situations you will find yourself in during this life journey. 

Life will throw everything at you and the kitchen sink, but don't lose heart...it's just a part of the journey. It's a part of the preparation. The smoke will eventually clear in every challenge and when it clears it will be worth all the many years of challenges. It will be worth all of the many years you felt buried. That dream in your heart was given to you as a seed. Do you remember the first time it was cultivated in your heart? Remember? It was one of the best feelings ever, that feeling of being alive - it was one of the reasons that life felt worth living, it made your heart sing. Your dream will do that to you. A purpose will do it even more. 

It's one of the beautiful moments when life grants you one of your dreams. It's an even better moment, the day you start pursuing to manifest it. It's a pre-requisite for living, that unfortunately most, fail to experience.

Having a dream or finding your life's purpose and pursuing that is one of the most challenging, yet most rewarding journeys you'll ever embark on. Those journey's are not for the faint-hearted. It will take everything in you to complete, but it's worth it. Doing the inner work to find out who you've always  been and ultimately fulfilling your purpose is a life well-lived. It's a life that is very rarely lived, but you will definitely be in good company. 

Go even further than just dreams and pursue your purpose. Pursue it like it's a marathon you're planning on winning in dominant fashion. It's the pathway to happiness...pursue it like your life depends on it, because it does.

I see you, you're needed. #keepgoing
