Stay Close…

Bringing clarity and vision to an overwhelmed mind in business and in life…

There is no success but continuous growth…The obstacles before my eyes seemed impossible, but the more I stayed close the better my vision became.

All these obstacles running through my head because I was finding myself running away from the responsibility of continuous growth. All these obstacles just running back and forth as if my head was a 24-hour house of fun with the best rides and games ever. But like clockwork I would find myself a couple of hours later greeting my alarm. Instead of staying close and remaining focused I found myself too exhausted to actually make the right move. It grew to the point that I just viewed these obstacles as cool ideas of success. Successful ideas that I could say I would attempt with all my efforts and reach my hands out for. But very hesitant to walk the path. I needed to stay close…

These so-called obstacles weren’t just cool ideas of success, these obstacles were growth. But instead of walking the path of continuous growth, I placed the obstacles into the success bucket. For me the success bucket was the easiest place to put growth, because I also placed my excuses there. Every successful excuse needed a cool idea of success to tag along with it. As I made more and more excuses to not take responsibility of growth the easier it became to reach for the stars. As I began to get closer and closer to the stars with my hands reached out as far as I can reach, I realized I can only go so far. I was trying to find that tip of the tip toe, but I was losing my balance. Truly, I was running thin of excuses and not sure I could even take it anymore. I needed to stay close…

I was focused on the idea of success but very hesitant to walk the path of continuous growth. It was easy to see the success once that season was over but hard to stay focused in the now season. As I left high school and transitioned to college it took a minute for that high school season to officially be put away. But once I accepted the responsibility of being a college student the vision became clearer. As I transitioned from a managerial role to a director role it took a minute for that managerial season to officially be put away. But once I accepted the responsibility that came with the director role the vision became clearer. I needed to stay close to my Father in Heaven, Yahuah, so that I can stay focused in the now season and not attached to the past. There is no success but continuous growth…The obstacles before my eyes seemed impossible, but the more I stayed close the better my vision became.

Thank you Yahuah
