Finding Your Path

My blog is a little late this morning. I’m sitting in a coffee shop in Frisco, been in Texas for a few days visiting family.

As with many road trips my wife and I have gotten into some good conversations about the future, discovering  your dreams/goals etc.

This morning we were discussing our capabilities if we were to think like God.

We are instructed to be “like-minded” with Christ, but what does that really mean? Each person has a ton of potential and if they set their mind to it has the potential to do anything.

So when we don’t hit that goal is it because we are limited, or limiting ourselves?

It’s a valid argument.

Whatever we think about on a regular basis is what we are going to end up acting out in our every day actions. So if we continually have a positive attitude our actions will have a bent towards positivity, but if we are always being negative, then our actions will back that up.

We truly have so much potential that we don’t even realize.  We don’t allow ourselves to dream big, to take big risks, or to delve into unknown areas.

This last year has been a tumultuous year for me in battling how to get to where I want to be in life.  It was a struggle breaking down route options, much like if you were on a road trip and trying to decide which is the best route.

I was back and forth with joining the military and I though, why not?  What if I went my whole life and didn’t do it?  Would I ask myself forever “what if?”

I don’t know exactly what my future is going to look like, but I know I am making the right decision, because it is in the act of doing and taking risks that we really uncover who we want to be and how we are to get there.
