Opportunity

You never know what opportunities are in store. But once you’re looking for those opportunities, fear will always be a factor. Either you face it head on, or you run from it (and avoiding is running… don’t fool yourself). So if you’ve been running all this time, think about where it has gotten you thus far. Are you reaching your full potential? Are you even making it halfway? For most of us, I’d say, no.

Being comfortable is a goal for most people. But sometimes we find comfort in menial spiritual, physical and mental zones. Although we say we want more, risk is not an option we take lightly. And gambling this known, comfortable place for an imagined dream makes even wanting feel like a risk. But the key is to have Faith. The key is to step in Faith. Even though it may feel risky, with Faith we can start to see. With Faith our vision broadens from seeing just the risk to also seeing the opportunity.

Essentially, the hardest obstacle to get over is yourself. Once you’ve gotten past or over yourself, the fear turns into excitement….ambition…peace. I haven’t gotten there on a full time basis yet because sometimes I fail. Sometimes there are slumps. Sometimes I rethink my goals. Sometimes I don’t even have time to think about my goals.  Sometimes I question my abilities and whether my goals are even reachable. But I’m working. Even when Im in a slump, I know in my heart that I will reemerge. I continue to chip away at all the things that have held me back. I do my best to see my flaws and work at them. I do my best to learn from my mistakes. I do my best use the vision and gifts  I am blessed with. And I know, there is so much more I can do if I allow myself to see the opportunity in each challenge.
