Driving home the other day, I stopped for gas at the gas station which was a little off my route but had to get the gas for my car for next day journey. Anyway, after I getting the gas I was torn between taking a very long route (which wasn't even an option because it meant I will have to drive through the terrible traffic I just drove through) or look for an alternative route. Then I remember there was indeed an alternative route that could lead me to my destination, so I decided to trace the road leading there.
However, may be it was because I was simply eager to get home or maybe I was just damn tired or maybe I didn't even know the route so well enough, that I wasn't able to just figure out this specific turn point which will lead me to my destination. So after driving for a while, I revised the car and faced the very terrible traffic I was running away from.
Having learnt my lessons the night before, I decided to acquaint myself with this alternative road just in case I got myself in a similar situation once again. But as I drove through the very road, I discovered that if only I had just kept going a little farther, the turning point I search for was about 200m ahead.
So I began to laugh at myself and then it hit me...
How many times have we given up on things, people and situation not knowing that the answer is just 200m ahead of us? How many times have we gone through painful issues thinking it just the end of the world, throwing in the towel and saying we can't do or handle it anymore but not knowing that our solution, our testimony, our victory, our healing, our breakthrough, our change, our upliftment is just 200meters ahead of us?
If only we just hold on a little longer, persevere just a little more and our blessings will be ours.
2014 has been an amazing year for a lot of people I know and for some like me, well, we are hoping 2015 will be a better year.
But regardless, we all should be grateful for everything for everything we've been through and has gone through us - good, bad and ugly, because if it didn't kill you in 2014 then we have an opportunity to improve and make the most of our lives.
So on this final note, out of 2014 into 2015, will like to leave you with some thoughts.
Things may not seem to look the way you wish or hoped for it to be in 2014, but 2015, is another opportunity to fight for and be persistent in what you want for your life. Do all you can to stand, just for the fact that you are even alive to see 2015 is a testimony that you are already victorious and you can do anything.
Stand tall and stand high. Your now definitely don't define your future.
Giving up isn't an option and so you should never ever consider it.
If people don't believe in you, believe in yourself because with time those that really do matter will always come around.
2015 is a year of letting go of everything that will make you less of yourself. Be it any relationship, environment, thoughts, emotions, etc. just let it go...fight for YOU, YOUR DREAM, YOUR DESTINY and LIFE!
Remember just ahead you is your testimony.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!
