blessed.
Before I forget to post this and before it falls back into the far reaches of my memory, I just want to say that I've been inspired to do so many things in the past couple of days. And it's so overwhelming! Definitely a good overwhelming and it motivates me to pursue and focus on exactly what I want to accomplish in life. I am just so thankful. Though I haven't been "religious" currently in my life per se, I can say that spiritually, I have been moved to believe again. A fire that I thought was smothered, is somehow becoming reignited and I am just so thankful for it.
I found myself hitting a wall these past months, and nearly relinquishing all my strength and passion to the nature of my state. Hitting that wall was necessary in understanding where I need to go now, realizing that I need to be doing something that truly makes me happy, despite what others may think. The talk with my fellow and soon to be co-worker was so encouraging and so surprisingly, but yet pleasantly unexpected, that I can't help but believe it's a sign I'm proceeding in the right direction. And I am so thankful for it.... I can begin a new journey upwards and over that wall.
I just have to remember what I love doing in life and remember that my current situation, the place I am now and the journey that I will be taking, is a means to an end that will take me to a series of other places. And I can't wait.
I'm so blessed to have so many amazing people in my life who constantly remind me of who I am and encourage me to do the right thing. I know firsthand how difficult it is to have sight of what's waiting at the end... when you're self-centered and driven not only by your very own emotions and fears, but by the negativity and outside influences of others who disagree with your aspirations. Especially when you trust their opinion to matter. I'm glad that I have not only others as my third party voice of reason, but God as well to reinforce my dreams with signs and discreet occurrences. I thank him for that.
And though I've quoted Paulo Coelho numerous times in this journal, I can't help but believe one of his famous aphorisms from the Alchemist to be so true: "When you believe in something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve it."
I really believe it. If you open your heart to something, listen to what it's calling you to do, and follow what it desires... knowing the trials and tribulations you may endure on the journey to get there, persevering. and never losing sight of your goal... then I truly affirm it WILL happen.
