WOW! After attempting to write this post for the 3rd time I am questioning why I haven't been able to post this, maybe it's whack-LOL! I experienced two technical difficulties out of nowhere just as I am writing about not giving up. I am guessing GOD is testing me or the Devil is up to his tricks again. Either way, I am not giving up!
Perfect segeway into my mini soliloquy on this topic. Life is a journey. Cliche? Yes, but true. How do I know? I'll tell you. The journey, better known as life, is meant for us to stay the course, even when we seem to meet the proverbial 'point of no return', as we keep trying to find our way, we will arrive where we are supposed to be. In this life, driven by self-imposed, societal, and for many of us spiritual pressures to succeed in life we may find ourselves off the beaten path at times, and other times without a map or GPS (which I like to call God's Protective Services). Have we all been there before? Of course, some of us may not like to admit it, but be honest with yourself. Life is not easy, you were not given a personal map, and other times you really just want to say What The........ (you fill in the blank however you like).
As I strive to reach my own personal definition of success (which is to become self-made and self-reliant) outside of what this world considers success (materialism, lights, camera, ACTION!), I have learned to accept the truth of the matter, which is to never give up on your journey. Your journey may very well be the motivating testimony to help someone on their journey. Story sharing of our journey's is important as it is the ultimate manifestation of universal language shared as oral history and confirmation that man's plight and sacrifice has a destination which fulfills human potential and reaches beyond human limitation. When I think of Harriet Tubman following the North Star to lead freedom convoy's, I am moved beyond imagination to believe we are not bound by our circumstances. GOD did not put us here for mediocrity. He put us here to touch the lives of others, to be inspirational, to live life and enjoy the journey, not to give up and settle. We stand a far better chance in life when we keep pushing towards our goals, when we remain determined, and when we share our stories to help someone else get through their journey. We never know what someone's journey is, how it is to walk their journey, no two journey's are alike, and no two people will walk their journey the same way.
I am on a journey. I was on a journey to write a blog post and was thwarted 2 times by the enemy-LOL, but I didn't give up. Life is a journey. Cliche? Yes. True, absolutely.
