Grow as you Go

GET STARTED-BEFORE YOU’RE READY.
Because if you wait till you’re ready you will never get started.

The learning is in the journey not the destination.

The 3D life of learning and fulfillment:
1.) Detours (finding joy in the journey)
2.) Details. (Looking for the small things)
3.) Disappointments (learning from the let downs)

“Make each moments a manifestation of mental expectancy.” ~me ????

Detours are frustrating but sometimes it’s in the seemingly meaningless meanderings where moment of life surface that are graced with the greatest serendipity. It’s in those innocuous situations that unforgettable change occurs in our lives! They say, “You see and receive what you are looking for”. But sometimes we are looking at all the wrong things and it’s the detour that changes our routines, no matter how needed those routines are for our successes, to let very special moments sneak up on us. And what your eyes perceive becomes your reality, because our perception IS our reality….So we learn not to despise the detour but celebrate it because it changes our reality. Lift your glance and set your eyes on the benefits that come from the detours of life.

Details often escape us because the brain has a way of ignoring the common, everyday, always-in-your-routine items in our daily lives. That fact alone then causes us to loose sight of conversely discount our blessings. Often turning attention to the drama that’s demanding our attention. But, It’s not the drama that teaches us best, it’s when we force ourselves to see what’s always been right in front of us all along.

Disappointments are what draws us to restructure and reassessment and in the process of those heart struggle moments we rediscover health and hope and balance. It’s the low moments we find who real friends are and where real connections exist. Disappointment helps us to know what is timely and timeless and even though we need both we learn in those places to never give up on the timeless things in our lives. It’s there that we discover the people that should be included in our high moments because they were there in our low moments. It’s where we learn some of the greatest lessons in and of life. And those lessons become anchor ⚓️ points that keep us secure as we travel through life and pursue our dreams. It’s the storms of disappoint we walk through that make the bright and sunny days much brighter. It’s the love we feel in those moments that we should cherish, but too often we see all the things that are a nuisance to us and our love gets buried under the stress and frustrations of so many things that end up being the wrong details to have focused on in the end. Don’t focus on the storm clouds, remember the sun is above them. Remember, love is a gift and a verb. And it must be given and acted upon at every point in our journey. It’s in the low moments that love and friendship and loyalty and hope and, and, and…..(the list goes on) are most effectively defined. Disappointment is definition!

Eugene Peterson was credited with the statement: “Every step is an arrival”.

The question we must ask is, “Will our arrival be a good place or a GREAT place?” We all have places that are good in our lives but the question that destiny asks each of us is; “do you want to just settle for GOOD or do you want to keep going and reach GREAT?”

The greatest pain is not starting and failing, the greatest pain is wondering what could have been if you had started anyways!

Chasing greatness is the road less traveled, but it’s a road that answers the question “what if”

“What if” I had started that business?
“What if” I had fought for that friendship?

You see we were not designed for good, because chasing greatness is the only journey that mutes the voice of regret.

And “if” you want to achieve greatness stop asking for permission and just get started…you are intuitive enough to find a way but you must be facing the direction of your dreams to see it.

The greatest pain is not starting and failing, the greatest pain is wondering what could have been if you had started anyways!
