All Will Be Well

Do you ever feel like you find yourself spending more precious time carefully planning out your future than living as fully as possible in the present? It's almost as if you have these tremendous grandiose dreams that you wish to make a reality, but you're stuck in a rut, where you're scared to move forward, or are faced with several paths, and continuously go back and forth with yourself as to which path to travel down, frightened that if you choose the wrong one, the "unknown" lying ahead could be riskier than the "known" of today, although you know there's a great chance that the "unknown" could bring about something amazing and wonderful, something you were born to discover?

I've been thinking non-stop lately about everything - present, future, lifestyle, occupation, family, spirituality, balance, physical fitness etc, and sometimes I experience difficulties attempting to prioritize all these aspects of life. I've been reading an inspiring book that I was introduced to while in college entitled "Awaken the Giant Within"...Reading it for the 2nd time, and trying to adopt some of the important principals about how to alter our thoughts and habits, and be more positive, empowered, inspirational, successful, and enlightened, and I've been taking notes!!

There was a period of my life where I loved read motivational self-help books; I would always search for ways to increase positivity, success, and personal development on various levels, and I feel that it's exceedingly important to revisit materials from our past that promote growth and inspire us to better ourselves, and it's always interesting to me that many of the concepts mentioned in these books are things that we already know deep down, but maybe haven't taken the time to face or think about, especially in a fast-paced world where technology is slowly abducting our brains. People are still reading books these days right? Real books...

My struggle this week has consisted of asking God for patience, strength, clarity, and consistency in my life, especially with decisions I've made, or have put off making due to a lack thereof. I need to live as fully and as positively as possible, even when there is uncertainly, which is always present in our lives in some capacity, and when I feel like the ground beneath me is shaking. In the words of singer song-writer Gabe Dixon, "All will be well, even after all the promises we've broken to ourselves. All will be well. You can ask me how but only time will tell."
