One at a time

We continually have to keep up the excellent work. No matter what we’ve done before, it’s never enough. To remain relevant, it’s a game of consistency and repetition of things we want to see and try to do continually. It’s not just enough to not try more just because what we’ve done appears to have taken ‘care’ of everything we are ever to do. The moment we start thinking in that direction, we lose the meaning of consistency and fail in every way. We’re worth more than we can believe, even when we’re not thinking much about all that has happened. We must continually remind ourselves that we’re the best of ourselves and can’t go wrong with that knowledge, even when we begin to feel tired. I like comparing a step every single time to getting just a resounding push and then remaining there for a long time, waiting for the next big push. We’ve got to tell ourselves how much we can do and what it means to go on this journey of faith and life.

The beginning steps are always so challenging and scary, and even when we try not to think about them, they keep coming back to us, and we can’t completely deny that they’re what we’d want to see—just a little better than we’re now. We’re never going to fall behind and not say that we are. It’s all the thoughts that count. All the tiredness and all the times we’ve denied ourselves the time to figure out what it is it wants from us and how we’re getting to better places with the time and effort we’ve been putting into our stories and all it has meant for us so far down the line. We’re never alone, and even though this is an obvious truth, we still fall back on realizing just how much this means that we’re the pilots of our own stories no matter where or when.

And so, we must allow the time and effort we’re continually putting into things to blossom and turn out something great that we’d want to see stick. Even when we know there is just the act and thought of continuity, we never return to trying and seeing where it takes us. I type on, just as I have been taken to far greater places with the keyboard. It’s the desire of all to never relent in what they are and make it better for us. Words won’t hurt us as much as losing yourself would. It’s all about adding cards to the life we want for ourselves. I, for one, have been someone who has consistently kept trying my best to keep going regardless. And it’s been working out for me. It is limiting all that I’ve ever held on to focus more on the single story of being better, even if it’s just a bit every day.

. That’s all that this is. In time, all will come to light, and we’ll see what has made the most impact on me, even if it means still stripping down further to the barest basics. It’s always like scraping the metal floor and hoping to find lava. It’s all fun and games until it just might happen! We should never forget that we’re more than we could ever conceive in our hearts to be.

Life is fun! Why not? Really! We’re more than we can think of ourselves, which isn’t compared to what we can give to the world if we see that more is coming our way. Whatever it is, it’s what we’re now, and we want to know that it will ultimately define the future we begin to hold dear to ourselves.
