There are no losers in this game of life. Unless you lay down your cards & refuse to play.
Things aren’t going your way, so you just give up, quit the game & walk away.
Humility,comes in so many forms. It is during these humbling moments, when we all have to decide.
Do we take these sour grapes in life & press them into wine or turn them into vinegar?
Do we walk away & wither? or do we stand strong, knowing, that this one of those moments; When life is not in our control. We must just let go & let life happen.
“I must be willing to be left; bent, twisted & bowing before the world? Feeling weak, humbled & lost in, indecision. I must close my eyes, as faith & endurance molds me; into another form of myself.”
I have to face my challenges head on & never give up. I must be brave. I must turn these Mountains, into mole hills.
I will remain strong, in my weakness. I will believe; I can.
I will be smart enough to stop, Patient enough to wait & brave enough to say everything works out in the end.
I will not quit!!!
For the last 2 years I have been building my business and converting my home into private entrance airbnb suites. I am on phase 3 of my 4 phase plan.
Phase 3 is going to be difficult, because I am living in the area, I am renovating. I don’t think it would be as difficult if I lived alone. But, I live with 2 helpful dogs and a very nosey cat. I’m not sure how “we” are going to get this done. I expect the next 6 months, to be the makings of a very entertaining sit com.
My plan has always been to finish phase 3, then move onto building an addition. A place that was just for me. My dream, my retirement, my solace.
Now that I’m here. I find myself hesitating. If I don’t make some changes there are going to be huge issues with parking for me and my guests.
It’s time to make a choice. Do I move forward with my addition or do I speak to the neighbor about buying her property, when she sells it in the future.
It’s very hard for me. I have been dreaming of this addition for so long. Now my brain is at a standstill. My heart does not want to abandon the idea, but there are times in life when you have to be practical.
I know that if I am patient, the answers will come. I just need to focus on finishing phase 3 & pray that the next road will reveal itself with time.
In the next couple of weeks it is my goal to approach my neighbor, about her buying house. If I can secure her property, then I will solve my parking problem & can move forward, creating a new plan.
I’m not sure what I am going to do. For the first time in two years, I find myself uncertain. I don’t know which way to go. I stand at a crossroad, as my brain spins and spins. It will not let me rest, until until it finds away.
It is during these times when I know I must be at peace in life. I must count my many blessings, have faith & be patient. I must believe that everything happens for a reason. The answers will come, if I just keep moving forward. All good things will come from this. Thankyou God!!
Don’t give up on your dreams, keep reaching & get up!
