When you stop…

You take away the possibility of completion.

I tell myself this often enough but as the days go on, it’s a lot easier said than done. The reality is, the people that didn’t spawn from wealthy families or had trusts waiting for them, really put in the work.

Finding your lane, your field of expertise and thriving in it is a beautiful thing. I was told, “A lot of prayer combined with your effort is a winning combination.” They are successful and happy. I believe them.

On the days when your plans don’t go as planned. You face setback after setback and there seems to be no light at the tunnel. The easiest thing to do is to let it go. Walk away and give up.

But before you do, I have a question. Why did you start in the first place? What was so special about you then that’s not inside of you now?

You drove into a cul-de-sac. But in your eyes you see a dead end street. We have to wake up and realize that at some point we just made a wrong turn. We may have to shift gears. Change a direction. But we keep going.

If it was easy, everyone would do it. Life isn’t easy. You have choices, decisions, heartaches, pain, stressful days, and tear filled nights. You know more now than you did a year ago. You’re probably almost to your destination.

If you quit, if you stop, it will always be, “I could’ve did that” when you talk to your friends and kids.

I want them to see that I did what I said I would do.

Keep going. Just a little bit longer. It’s for you.

It’s yours already.
