The race is not given to the swift, but to the one that endures.
Has there ever been a period in your life, where you have anxiously been in pursuit of “something,” only to realize after time elapsed time that you have been in someone else’s lane? It becomes revelatory and disheartening to find that the goals that you have desired could have been achieved sooner, if you would have followed your own path.
We are all born with purpose. The desires that dwell within our hearts are in some way connected to the purpose meant for fulfillment in our life. Recall your youth, as a child, there is an innocence that shields us from doubt and fear. We live in a fearless realm that encourages creativity, passion, growth, and confidence. Our purpose is acknowledged, adored, and untainted, however maturity has not occurred for clear definition of who what have yet to become. This is why in so many self-help books and personal development seminars, we are inspired to regain that child like wonderment, where limitations do not exist and everything is possible.
The danger of undiscovered passion and unachieved dreams become more apparent when we become overwhelmed with false images of what we are told we should become rather than remaining comfortable in who WE aspire to be. These images cause us take our focus off of what is before us and place it on what is next, behind or beside us. The paths of other racers begin to look more inviting and alluring. We want to run as other competitors run in attempt to receive their reward. We become preoccupied with attaining “things” that we lose momentum in our pursuit of substance. Our true desires become distorted as we search for joy in competing in our neighbor’s race, not realizing that we cannot win a race we are not qualified to compete in. We convince ourselves that we must condition our work ethic, our minds, and perfect our skills to become better than our neighbor, still not realizing that our only competitor is self. No two races are alike. We may see similar scenes as we run, but no two paths are the same. When we lose perspective of the goal, our work is futile and done in vain.
The moral here: Stay in your own lane! Who cares how many people pass you. What matters is that you make it pass YOUR finish line. You control the pace, you control if you give up, you control if you lose direction, you control if you WIN! Stay focused on what is ahead of YOU. Chase after purpose designed specifically for you. Once you realize that victory is inevitable, you will be encouraged to continue to run. BE ENCOURAGED! Remember, what you chase after, after awhile will chase after you. Winning is a lifestyle, not just a hash tag!
Don’t compete with anyone but YOURSELF! BE YOU & THEN BeGr8er!
It all starts at HOME.
