"Don't call it a come back!!!! I been here for years."
Just call it a hiatus from the written word and I am so glad that I am able to now jump start myself...again. Sometimes when you are shifting to a new elevated place in your purpose focused life....it requires a side of the road moment. (Or a few years on the side of the road. Whichever option applies to your life circumstances. LOL)
The post title says it all. I thought I had lost it. My way, my drive, my fire, my purpose, my focus, my security, my mind, my life as I had planned. You know the saying...the best way to make God laugh is to come up with a plan. Well, my plan had me AND God laughing to the point of tears! LOL
I am so grateful for the voices and experiences that have always found their way to me. It is okay to not get it right the first time. It is okay to launch off into the deep when NO ONE else believes in you. It is okay to give it all up to gain it all! It is okay to fail several times. As Thomas Edison said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
We often think that if we don't hit the mark the first time, then all is lost. However, once we become courageous in our forgiveness of ourselves and in our understanding of "the process" and how most success comes after some hard gained triumph, then and only then are we actually able to find or rediscover what we thought had been lost. Experiential knowledge can never be taken away, but it can always be rediscovered and refined.
We are all here for a vital purpose no matter how big or small. Okay...so you thought you lost your way in the woods on that road which has been less traveled. I offer to you that you were not then and are not now lost.
I thought for so long that I had lost so much, never realizing that those things (or people) were being removed from my life to free me up to do BIGGER things. We may have found ourselves lost at some point, but when we find or rediscover what we perceived as being lost, that is when we must ask ourselves the courageous question what will I now do with this rediscovered opportunity. What will you do?
