“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”
― Lao Tzu
Before I knew it the months had just drifted away. At the end of the year and going into a new year your mind is so full of dreams and visions of how you want things to go. Planning and acting goes hand in hand until you realize that one thing out weighed the other and time just seems as it just got away from you. Change is often inevitable and it can throw you for a loop if you let it. Eight months in and I had moments that I felt life I was walking head on into a strong whirlwind.
Eight months in….
dreams are still the same
HOWEVER
efforts didn’t line up with dreams
frustration turned into relaxation
motivation left with the time
focus shifted
life changed
people changed
lost love ones
lost friends
lost direction
became discouraged
picked up the fear of failing
THEN
I realized that sitting still changes nothing
Looking back changes nothing
If I wanted something I had to do something different
SO….
I realized…..
That within this eight months I wasn’t the same person because
I forgive more
I love more
I have learned more
I challenged myself more
I made better decision than I have in the previous years
I let things go a lot faster than before
I’m quicker to look pass your mistakes
I’m quicker to ignore imperfections in myself and others
I pray more
I care more
Although my eight months have been questionable it is not how I started that counts what really matters is how I finish!!!
IN it TO win IT
