My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. – Maya Angelou
There are times in life when you just feel the electricity in the air. It is the energy of possibilities of the future. There is a shift, and all of the sudden you are sensitive to everything that is within your grasp. And it is exciting. Maybe it happens after a hard time. Or maybe after working hard, and after the dust clears, you see a glimpse of the future. Maybe it is an “ah-ha” moment, when the light comes on in your mind. Who knows, but no matter the source, the energy is undeniable.
There is a fire within me, burns from my soul to and goes where the heart meets the mind. After a few years of sleeping, the passion has awakened and I am excited about all of the possibilities in the future. I have set my intentions – the latest contract, remote freelance, personal business and investment goals. Fitness goals, travel and fun.
I have more energy than I have had in a long time, even if I have a hard time keeping focused.
There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. – Nelson Mandela
I am acutely aware that everything for which I have prayed, I have been given. By the Grace of God go I. There has been a lot of work and a lot of preparation, but in two months, the landscape of life will look completely different. This is extremely exciting.
And what is also exciting is when you see everything lining up with your goals and aspirations. You work hard in this life, dream big, pour your heart and soul, blood, sweat and tears into building the life that you want. And then, you see the light at the end of the tunnel. You see things lining up, you feel those dreams getting closer. And you cannot wait, excitement brimming from every part of you.
This is where I am. A friend of mine sent me a massage saying that she loved seeing all of my happy posts on social media. What is even better than seeing them, is posting them. Know that this is my time. But it is more than that. There is a deeper happiness, a deeper appreciation, a deeper sense of self and satisfaction than ever before.
Patience has never been my strong point, and I am anxious for these changes and the new good to start. But there are moments here to still savor. There is so much beauty in where I am, and where I am going, that I do not want to miss a single moment. Every breath, every heartbeat, every second, is a gift filled with all the magic mysteries of life. And I am beyond grateful for all of them.
Finally, this little life that has been under construction for so long, is about to break free, shiny, new, and glorious. Life is short. Make it good.
