Never Turning Back

Throughout the years, I’ve reached a few moments in my life where I stand at a crossroads. 

I can continue down the path that I have known and discovered for a great deal of time, or I can answer a calling to head in a different direction. 

My soul, more than anything, knows the right answer to the question of “Which way should I go?” However, the rest of me has put up quite the fight and resisted despite my best intentions and efforts. 

This has been my story for the past few years now. 

The truth is, I wasn’t ready to move forward onto another unknown path. I was timid, nervous, and fearful that once again the shoe would drop and I would find myself devastated by loss. 

For better or worse there have been a handful of situations over the past few years that have been hard to move past. The residual pains of events that marked my heart left a significant amount of scar tissue that manifested themselves through an abundance of fear in answering another call. 

I’ve seen this clear as day. I’ve noticed this about myself and witnessed the repercussions of acting before I was fully committed. The failed attempts stacked up and my desire to continue changing was slowly but surely snuffed out. 

In having spent the past two weeks writing the origin story of The Better Man Project I’ve come to realize just how far I have traveled throughout these past 7 years.

One breath at a time. One choice at a time. One step at a time. Every day you are creating your future. You can choose to plant the seeds of your dreams if you wish. It takes belief. It takes energy. It takes you putting your heart into it. But one day, that little seed will become a giant tree and it will be all worth it.
