Looking Back And Moving Forward

This one is dedicated the dreamers and the pushers. For the ones who dream big and at the genesis of the thought of a dazzling future, decides to push, this one is for you. We all have to push at one point or another, right? When that business idea is fresh in our minds, the saving habits for that financial plan begins coming together, or when the reps in the gym or studio finally start to pay off, the vision is crystal clear (best feeling ever!!!) But what happens to the push when all of the work you have put in seems to be in vain? When the things you've been doing seem to no longer render that shiny, new grind mentality, that hunger; what do you do?

Sometimes we want the dream without considering the push that'll be required of us at various times during our journey. I know, when the ball finally begins to roll, we are fearless and resilient; there is nothing that can deter us from working to make our dream a reality. But what happens when it's been months or even years and the manifestation of the business, NFL draft, professional dance career, or book publishing has yet to happen? Look Back (I hope you aren't thinking of Trina lyrics right now. lol). The toughest factor to navigate while fighting for our dreams is time. Funny thing about time is that it can always be on our side if our minds and hearts stay in the right posture. I know days and days have passed but instead of keeping a mental tally board, dig deep and remember how far you've come. Most recently I  had to think about all of the amazing things God has allowed me to overcome, experience, cry through and struggle with. It gave me strength and determination. That is what you need on this journey, STRENGTH and DETERMINATION.

No two people have the same journey. You may not have done the things that I have or that your friends have, but that isn't the point. Take a second right now to reminisce on an opportunity you prayed for and received. Take a second to remember the overwhelming feeling of accomplishment you felt when you finally got into the groove of your 'dream thing". Keep that same energy fam!!!!  Your look back is vital to the forward motion of your dream pursuit because things will get a little tough. However, I have amazing news, as long as you can allow God to strengthen you, and as long as you are willing (gotta be willing) to remain determined, your journey will be much more enjoyable and the lessons you need along the way for growth and development will be able to do its thing .

A few years ago I came up with this simple yet powerful quote: Difficulties do not equate to impossibilities, and if this can use one more thought I will leave this with you: Look back to move forward!

You've got this King.
You've got this, Queen.
The world is waiting for you to be strong and stay determined.
