Step after Step

Take one step at a time

You’ll get there I promise you

In just one moment of trust

It might surprise you

The spark of the dream as it begins to unfold

Closer to coming true

Today in its warmth is renewing my mind and sending waves of inspiration to my heart. I don’t know where they will go but that doesn’t matter, because there is nothing more fulfilling than words swirling around in my head. My words never fail to remind me of my purpose. There are days when I struggle to release them or I wonder if there’s a point in writing them down—and I wonder, will they really touch the reader the way I have imagined they would? Soon I remember though, that if what I have written means something to even one person, they were worth writing, that maybe if all I accomplished was releasing some long held emotion, I have done enough. Whatever it is that you do, artistic or not (though in a way, there are so many skills and talents that could be considered artistic), don’t be afraid to release it, for this is the greatest freedom there is.

Time is something I have battled against in the past couple of years. I thought that it was holding me prisoner, stealing away my days with the waiting. I used to plan my whole life year by year and I truly believed I was all set. I have had to learn that events don’t always transpire how you thought they would and that sometimes you have to adjust your goals to those unexpected circumstances that tend to appear every now and again. I thought that being stuck in my career meant that I wouldn’t be able to accomplish all I had wanted to, but I proved myself wrong, making headway on personal writing projects that I wouldn’t have had life been busier. I’m learning to embrace time and to not waste it in worrying how and when everything will come together. I know that I’m closer, that step after step I can make this journey with faith because I know this road I’m on can never lead to nowhere...
