We all, at some point in our lives, have taken our turn on the treadmill going nowhere. We get comfortable and settle for "it is what it is." It could be our relationships, our jobs, our finances, or even ourselves. We begin settling for where we are us and stop striving for better. We step onto that treadmill, known as complacency, and begin our journey to nowhere. So many times this happens shortly after high school or college when we finally step out into the "real world." We trade our dreams and aspirations for playing it safe and living a life set by the status-quo. We all have dreams and passions in life. The pursuit of them, changes our lives. Sure it can be uncomfortable at times, but so is not pursuing them. We were not designed to live a life of monotony. We were designed to life a full and vibrant life. Our true passions in life is a part of our DNA. It is a part of who we are meant to become. I lived many years of my life ignoring the real person that I was destined to be. Denying that spark of passion inside of me because it was more comfortable to just get through life where I was. Change scares us all. Sure, there are still days that I question if I am on the right path. Doubt still creeps in and I have to make those decisions whether to continue my path or give up. But then I take a look where I came from and see what it has taken to get me to where I am today. That next step break through could be just around the corner and if I give up now I will never see it. So I keep on keeping on. I have lived on a treadmill to nowhere and I have stepped out on faith and took the path towards my passion. If I had to choose again today, I would still choose living a life pursuing a passion. Sure, I'm not where I would like to be, but this journey has changed my life. I would challenge you today, to pick up your passion and just, for the next week, take a baby step daily towards it. See where you are in a week.
Dream Big...Pursue Big...Live Big
