This morning was kind of rocky. I woke up late and with a headache, but I'm good. I feel refreshed in spite of. I had my meditation and my morning prayer and now its show time.
It has now been day 100 for me posting to this blog. Now it's been days in between where I didn't post and those were the important days. Please excuse any sentences that don't make sense or any of my rambling because I seem to be still sleepy. Anyway, where was I? Oh, the important days. The most important days are the ones where I didn't post. These days are important because they were the days that I was tested. Either something happened or was happening as to why I didn't post to my blog. Either I was going through something or had so much on my plate that I couldn't get around to it. I didn't realize this until yesterday. My idea when I first started posting to this blog was to post an entry every day. I was determined. I felt as if I could make a difference if I posted every day. But now I think differently. You have to have time to test. Just like when you are in school. You can study all day and night but at some point you have to take the test. And when it's test time there are no notes, no books, no nothing just you and the test. It's the same way with life.
We want to do a lot of things in our life. We want to have a nice job with a nice salary and live in a nice house. We want all of these things but a lot of us don't want to do what it takes to get these things. How can you have a nice job when you don't put for the effort to excel at the one you are at now? How can you have a nice house when you go shopping every chance you get and don't save any money? These are the things we miss along the journey in life. When it's time to take the test, we always fail because we were too busy trying to lay out our life instead of live it. Just like with me and this blog. All I wanted to do was just blog everyday about me changing my life. But what I found out was that in order to really change my life I had to rearrange some things and that takes time and so I had to step away from the computer to get things together and then come back to it. Now, my blogs are more meaningful. They have a little more life to them because of the experience that I obtained my trying to revitalize my life. Yes, there were times where I just didn't feel like posting and then there were times where I had nothing to post. But that's the beauty of it because it shows you that's just how life really is. It shows you that I am no different from you. The only difference is that I am persevering through all of the obstacles that you might have taken a seat on. I am pushing and pushing until something happens. Maybe you are too. If you are, that's great! If you aren't, well you need to get with it!
I am not some superstar telling you this rags to riches story about how I made a million dollars from nothing. I am just an average guy with average problems and situations just like you. I am not getting paid to write this. I am not getting paid if you read this. I only get paid from delivering the message that's within these words and my payment is not of money but of blessings. When God puts something on your heart, I have learned that you should do it, even if it seems crazy. What's crazy to you might make sense to someone else.
There are things you can do to get what you want in life. You just have to be willing to do the small things to make the big things happen. You have all that you need to get it done. You don't need to win the lottery for your finances to be right. All you need to do is budget your money and stop trying to live like the people next door or those you see on television. Just get up and make that first step. You might fall when you make it, but get back up and try it again. You might fall after the next few steps, but get back up and keep going. When you get after a few falls and turn around you will see that you are closer to your goal than you were before you took any steps at all.
"Even though you fall while you are trying to reach a goal, you are still much closer than you were before you attempted to take the first step."-K.J Swint
