You are exactly where you need to be
We all dream to one day have our dream job, dream spouse, dream house, dream car, etc., but have you ever thought, I am exactly where I need to be right here, right now. It actually took me a long time to realize that fact. To believe that every thought, every action has taken you exactly where you are right now. For many of us that may not be where we want to be but that doesn’t mean that is where we will stay..
Personally, I think the reason many of us are so caught up with attaining things quickly or by a certain age is because society has put this pressure on us that we should have had our ideal career, spouse, or house by now. Facebook and Instagram has shown us a picture of what a “perfect life” looks like. We see all these people in their 20’s achieving things that we can only dream of. However, acceptance of what is, the here and the now, is key. I know, it isn’t easy. Take it from someone who has to remind herself of this daily. Don’t be ashamed of where you are right now. Don’t even be upset. Just knowing that where you are is not where you will stay is so important for your growth.
Ok, so what Now?
So, the hardships of life have taken you to where you are right now. Or maybe life just happened and it took you into a whole other direction. So what now? Are you going to choose to continue to dwell in your pain and in your hurts? Or are you going to choose a better life not only for you but all those around you. Are you going to take charge for the things that you are able to control, like your health, your mind, your career, your relationships? In every problem, there is always a solution. A problem wouldn’t be a problem if it didn’t have a way to resolve itself! Let’s go.
Take Charge
So take charge. Cling to hope. As long as there is breath in you, there is a way for you. Discover who you are and who you were meant to be. You have a unique purpose in this life and you matter. Yes! You are important and you are fully capable of achieving your dreams. No one person is better than the other, we all hold the same foundational attributes in conquering whatever we put our minds to. Let God work in you because in order to do better we have to be better on the inside. Our thoughts, our perspectives have to change. God can do this much faster than we can do on our own. We can do this. Let’s do this together! I believe in you!
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17
Love you all.
