There are no words that can describe it. I want to write a book about it so bad, but I’m unsure my diction will do it justice. There are moments in life that are absolutely indescribable. Most people can see the dream, but only when the sun is shining. When the storm comes it hinders most people ability to see. That’s when the it happens for me.
It’s a feeling. In the middle of the storm, regardless of how hard I’m being hit I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I believe that I (just like of all of you) was created for a reason. I believe that there’s a mission on this planet that I have to accomplish before I leave.
That belief, faith, and knowing comes from adversity. It comes from being knocked down continuously. It comes from watching my mother the great Tina Thomas look adversity in the face throughout my childhood and never breaking. Did she bend? Sure she did, but she never broke.
That knowing is what will get you through, it will whisper in your ear that you have one more mile left, one more meeting, one more bill to pay, whatever it may be you’re only inches away my friends, you got this.
