Breaking Ground

Dig.

Dig deep. There you will find the answers you’ve been seeking.

The more and more time I spend looking at the path I have taken the more I am able to see its lessons, victories, defeats and missteps. The more I see just how important it is to choose a good place to begin digging and keep at it as time rolls on.

There was one big piece missing for me when I started.

Vision.

As the years have gone on, I am much more aware of where I will head if I travel down a path, but when I began, I just started for the sake of it. I couldn’t see where all of this was headed. I couldn’t see the possibilities that lay before me. All I knew is that I loved to write and that it would probably be a good idea for me to process some of the things that were going on in my life.

But here I stand all these years later with one very important reality resting in my hands…

See as much of the end as you can possibly see that the adventures that may come up along the way.

If you know where you want to go in the end, its a lot easier to stay focused on the path. Who knows what will come up along the way? But what I do know for sure is the time and time again as I have traveled ahead into the unknown distractions and opportunities are infinite in their capacities to distract you from what you really want.

Now, more than ever, I am clear on what I really wish for in my life.

My ambitions, for the most part, lacked the steadfast disciplines that are necessary to bring all things into fruition.

I knew that my ability to work wasn’t something that I had to question. However, it was my ability to put things into day to day practice with precise consistency that caused a period of my life that I call The Big Stall. 

I had a lot of questions that I needed to get answered before I could head into the next moments of my life. Those questions, with a big shift in how I was showing up in the world, have since been answered.

There’s another piece to this though.

This year is only going to be different if you bring this relentless spirit out in you. Give me a “hell yes!” In the comments if you’re going after it in #2018
