The best is always yet to come when you’re on the constant, passionate pursuit of growth in life. You can do anything you set your mind to, yes. But what we can do easily forget is that every time we set our mind to something we experience a growth spurt with the little steps that lead to the achievement of these goals. And with every growth spurt comes new goals, new mindsets, new dreams. Which means more opportunity to set your sights higher, dream bigger, and pursue more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This sport has taught me a lot in the last year...patience, persistence, and more than anything never ending evolution of self. We always want more, and this is a GOOD thing when we use the energy of desire to be relentless and give our all. But it can also work against us if we let it consume every fiber of our being that we forget how far we have come and how capable we are. Or we get so caught up in the chase that we devalue the journey... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is no finish line. No ‘end’. Even champions defend their title, find a new challenge, and set the bar higher for themselves and others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There’s this illusion that when we have or achieve x, y, z then all our dreams will have come true. But the truth is, all your dreams are coming true because of this moment RIGHT NOW; embrace it, love it, and more than anything else EXPERIENCE it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you noticed? With every accomplishment we make we celebrate the actions we took and challenges we overcame that got us there more than we focus on the accomplishment itself. When people win a title or a trophy, they are not interviewed on how much they like their medal or how good the crown looks on them, they are asked what this process was like, what went through their mind, how did that arrive here and WHAT IS NEXT? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So LOVE your life right now. LOVE the pain, the reward, the adversity. LOVE it all because it is making you into the best version of you, and then another next level, and another and another...you are EVER-EVOLVING; what a beautiful gift to be part of something bigger than us, we have life yet we cannot define it, because at the end, it’s not death we experience, but the closure of the opportunity to live our soul’s unique purpose every...single...day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Be here, now. This is life. These are the moments that mold you. There is no ‘arrival’, there is only change; change in dreams, actions, goals, identities...You are always ‘becoming’.
