“The moment you feel like giving up is when you’re introduced to two things: your limits, and your opportunity to go past those limits.”
~ Alex J. Chang
Another slow, cloudy sunrise gave me plenty of time to be still, hearing the echos in my mind amidst the divine’s heart and knowing. What are your intentions for me, I ask? Which way do I turn ?
This past week, with all the turmoil in the world around me, I’ve been looking at limits. It’s what I do for a living as an entrepreneur and consultant, for myself and for others. I look at limits, and I identify opportunity. And in the pit of my stomach, I sense fear. I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t. Fear … False Evidence Appearing Real. As I live in the now, there is no fear. Things are good amidst a life filled with opportunity. As I am asked to create the future, looking at a slippery slope, things uncertain, fear tries to creep in. And at the top of the hill of uncertainty, with moguls on the course, I look behind me at how far I’ve come, the opportunity that lies ahead, and I say again …
Courage is being scared to death, but saddle up anyway !!
Bring it life ! Whatever you have waiting for me, I am ready. In faith, in trust and with persistence. I hope you are ready to saddle up too. Let’s make that lemonade out of those lemons ♥
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
– Edgar A. Guest
