You cannot reach your God given potential by holding onto what got you here. You cannot become the original you are meant to become without letting go of what you think you know. You cannot go it alone but nobody can do it for you. The movie Gravity, gives a great example of baby stepping through the fog. It is a fine line between resigned and resolved.
You can choose slow death, as Dr. Ryan did when she was overwhelmed with obstacles in her way. You can let the gravity of your situation get you to throw up your arms and give up. You can stop trying because whatever mess you’re in is beyond your ability to clean. You can choose resignation. Or, you can choose better.
Eventually, Dr. Ryan chose better. After having a pity party for her predicament, alone in outer space – she chose a baby step. Found fuel for her journey from an unusual source. Dr. Ryan, just like you and me, had a big dream. She wanted to go home. But it wasn’t enough to want it – she had to do something about it. She changed her mindset with baby steps of action. Some worked. Some failed. She learned.
Quickly.
It’s a fine line, friend, between resigned and resolved. Every one of us is gonna hit the wall. We all experience being lost in space, maybe not outer space, but space of some scary kind nonetheless.
All of us will feel alone and overwhelmed, in relationships we can’t fix, facing problems we can’t solve, and in storms where it feels like we’re tumbling down the bunny hole completely out of control. These are defining moments. Resolve, friend, to baby step in them. Fail quickly. Learn. Get up. Baby step again. Resolve to keep moving.
The hardest part is getting started and getting after it. Like a baby leaving the comfort of the coffee table, the first step is the hardest. Baby step today. No more tomorrow mindset. Baby step now. Damn.
Live hard. Love ❤️ harder…
