You know it’s been said that we just don’t recognize the
significant moments of our lives while they are happening. We grow
complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted
and it’s usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from
you that you’ve realized how wrong you’ve been that you realized how
much you need it, how much you love it.
And once you lose yourself you have two choices; find the person you used to be
or lose that person completely. Because sometimes you have to step
outside of the person you’ve been and remember the person you were
meant to be, the person you wanted to be, the person you are.Because
it’s only when you’re tested that you truly discover who you are.
And it’s only when you’re tested that you discover who you can be. The
person that you want to be does exist, somewhere in the other side of
hard work and faith, and belief and beyond the heartache and fear of
what life has.
There are moments in our lives when we find
ourselves at a crossroad, afraid, confused, without a road map. The
choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of
course when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around
and go back.
But once in a while people push on to something
better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone and just
beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give
someone a second chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a
dream.
At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the
world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to
make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are
evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil.
Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes —
all you need is one.
Ida Scott Taylor once wrote: Do not look
back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled
about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and
make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.
