This blogging thing isn't easy. Taking a step back and really looking at your life up until this point. Really digging deep to discover hidden meanings and things about yourself you never really stop to think about. People are too scared to dig that deep I guess. That's why I am glad we have been doing this for the past few weeks! It's been somewhat eye opening! In a good way.
I guess one thing I have learned the hard way is that you really have to work your ass off for what you want. And things are not just gonna come falling into your lap. Yes we pray for God's will to happen, but I think a lot of the time we just wait and wait for something to happen without taking responsibility for our part in it. God is all powerful and all knowing, but I believe we are expected to do our part. Absolutely.
I have had many things just fall into my lap over the past few years. Opportunities have presented themselves, some of which I jumped on, others I have passed on. Because it either just wasn't for me, or I was too scared to try. I am so sick and tired of being afraid of everything. Afraid of putting myself out there. Of failing. Of being judged. Of not being taken seriously. Of not being good enough. But at the same time I have no idea what I am so afraid of. Every person on this planet will feel these things during their lifetime. Not all from the same circumstances, but everyone's lives are different. But we all feel and go through the same things. And that is just life. There is nothing to be afraid of. So why are we all so afraid? And the one's that arn't afraid (or say that they arn't), how do they do it? What makes them so secure and self assured?
I have learned the hard way that you have got to fight for what you want in this life. Because no one is going to do anything for you. No one is going to make your dreams come true or do the work that it takes to make those dreams a reality. No one but you. I wish I would have really pondered on this before, even though it has been told to me many times. But sometimes when other people tell you things that you don't want to hear at the time, it all just goes in one ear and out the other. Sometimes you have to figure it out on your own. You can only life your life once, and we have to do everything we can to live it to the fullest. To not be so afraid and to really trust that God will bring us through the bad stuff and rejoice with us in the good stuff. But we have to trust Him and praise Him in both circumstances. Our fear can be conquered when we remember that God has our back no matter what happens. And He always will.
