Extraordinary Life
I am on my own path. I am running my own race, and I am doing my own thing, and it doesn't matter what other people are doing, where they are going, or what they think about my path. I personally like the path that I'm on, and I have faith that God will take me to great places. All I have to do is stop clinging to the past and stop re-opening doors that God meant to stay closed. I am holding on to a life that is not going anywhere, and God can't take me anywhere until I let go. I am holding on out of fear: fear that I can't handle the change or the challenges, fear that I'll be missing out on something if I turn away, fear of loss... and other nameless fears.
I can be so much more than I am allowing myself to be. That is my point. I am holding onto a me that needs to grow. There is so, SO much I want to accomplish in my life, so much I want to see and do, and I am holding myself back. How do I go about becoming the extraordinary person I am meant to become? How do I go about BEING an extraordinary person? It's not an easy feat, I'll tell you that. It's hard enough being a lazy person. But one who always rises to the challenge, faces her fears, overcomes her obstacles... that just sounds like Wonder Woman. Far be it from me to believe myself to be a woman of magnificence. This always seemed an identity that was impossible to reach... only a wish or dream that could never be attained. But now that I am an adult, I am learning what it really takes to be a woman of excellence.
I have a tendency to look at other people and go, "I wish I could have that life. I envy that life." And then I start feeling wasteful and meaningless, like I'm not accomplishing much. I feel like I'm wasting time, and I wonder how much more time is it going to take before I get off my lazy butt and run through that wall of fear? When am I going to start chasing my dreams and expand my horizons in life? When will I be able to consider myself an extraordinary person who has accomplished extraordinary feats? I envy those who have seized their opportunities, left their comfort zones to live a better life, and are living an extraordinary life. They have something I feel I won't get for a very long time.
I write all this to say that I want more out of my life. I want to DO more and BE more. I want a challenging, stimulating life that never gets stagnant or boring. I want to seize every opportunity, every day. My goal for this year is to set myself up to rise to these challenges so that by the end of this year, I will be well on my way to an extraordinary life. Thanks for reading!
