Forging Ahead Into The Unknown

By Evan Sanders


There's only a moment.

A moment where the biggest deacon of your life comes upon you. A moment in the dark.

You either run away or run towards your fear.

The challenges that face us continue on no matter what. They will continue to test you daily if you are designed to rise to the greatest heights.

But the big decision to be made is all yours.

Do you escape?

Or do you anchor in?

This moment had arrived upon my doorstop only a few days ago and I had to make one of the biggest decisions of my life. Initially I thought it would bring about more confusion, but interestingly enough, it brought about a sense of peace and clarify.

How could it bring about such peace?

How could peace come out of such a test?

You dig deep down into your soul and understand exactly who and what you stand for. When you know what you are all about, it is far easier to face your fears.

Forge ahead.

You're almost there, don't quit now.

You can just imagine the Captain of your ship gripping onto the helm as tight as possible screaming to his men to continue forward. There are no old ways. There's no turning back. There's only what's right in front of you.

At times, we lose our focus and our momentum.

We fail to stick according to plan because we are discouraged by a lack of movement forward.

But when we face our deepest fears, our purpose returns back to us.

And with that purpose, the fire inside started to light again. Another day, another effort, and another opportunity to move forward in the direction I wished for.

We strive to be the grandest versions of ourselves daily and most of the time we come up short. But that's the beautiful part of all of this. Because without seeing beyond what we are right now we can never grow. We must see what is inside of us and attempt to bring out those characteristics to the best of our ability.

Yes we will fail.

But there's great victory in even the defeats.

Take seriously pride in your endless persistence.

Take pride in the effort you have given in the past.

The scars and the victories define you and make you into a bold soul that encourages any action that may bring on victory or defeat.

These are our heroes. Those who may not necessarily be in the lights...but who forge ahead in the darkness...shedding a light of their own.
