people are always talking about taking risks in life... it's so easy to stay in your "comfort zone" and much harder to "step out of the box"... but i am determined to do that... i know it won't be easy... but it sure will be worth it...
i understand the concept of sacrifice... and i know that sometimes we need to experience short term pains for long term gains... what is the hardest part is having confidence in succeeding... there is always (sometimes more than others) a fear of failure... that's normal, right?
but failing is better than not trying... and the more i fail, the bigger the chances of success... as long as i keep getting up... nothing will hold me down...
i have faith and truly believe that something good is coming for me... i just have to do my part... i cannot continue to "play it safe"... when opportunities come, i must be prepared and know to recognize them...
i am ready for change... ready to follow my path with faith and without fear...
i will never ever give up... if failure is not an option... success in inevitable

time to be still
for the past couple of days, i have been trying to fight a cold... it's been a few years since i got sick... so i'm a little discouraged... but it has helped me to realize that it is time for a break... and rest and just be still...
at first i was upset that i had a tickle in my throat... and as it progressed, i realized it was just my body's way of demanding rest... i have been working waaaaayyy too much... so not only is my body in need of rest, my soul is in need of silent peace and oneness with God... i have been so consumed by trying to make ends meet, that it's almost like God has been sitting in my back seat... and every now and then, i turn around to say... "what do you think, God? am I going the right way?"
and now... being forced to slow down... i am telling God that i want Him in the front seat as my co-pilot... leading the way and guiding me into my destiny... letting me know which way to go, instead of finding out later that i made a wrong turn when i finally decide to ask... He has the map and i have to trust in Him... i can only get myself to the next moment in time... only He can get me to my true destiny... and He will only show me the way, if i sit still and listen........
