Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.
John Wooden
The little and big pieces of life have once again combined to design a new frame, a new state of mind yet the vision never changes it just gains more colors. A purpose much bigger than a shallow facade when we know better than entitlement and we realize that we owe more to life than we are owed, something called grace. Have you ever stopped to think about what grace means? The unmerited gift of divine redemption. So the good journey begins and getting to move our legs in order to get to our destinations, the climb all for that vision within grace. A good journey like building a temple takes times, so if a temple let it be founded on a strong foundation which requires good materials and a vision to strive forward.
The vision requires faith (action) and all the sudden it can be hard, yet that’s where our inner athlete kicks in, and we push with perseverance like Paul once said, because all along we’ve had everything we needed for our best journey. So, one can take a break when tired, many times we can take detours, side streets, and all those moments will enhance our outlook; but then look back to see how far you have come and how far you have yet to go. Just like that life unfolds before our eyes, and when the Creator of our world is in mind it becomes a purposeful journey. A journey where we know God’s plans are higher and better than ours. That’s when we realize life’s mysterious ways, scary yet liberating and the journey continues.
So what are we allowing into our lives and projecting into life? Our physical realm is one example of the many things going on beyond a tangible world. Just like exercising requires nutrition, we need substance and energy for a flourishing life. In a physical realm potassium is needed for the normal functioning of all cells. It regulates our heartbeat, ensures proper function of the muscles and nerves, and is vital for synthesizing protein and metabolizing carbohydrates. So what is your emotional, mental and spiritual potassium? Do you have what you need for the journey? We get to control what we contribute into this journey and we must be mindful of what we are allowing inward as it will become our life and the vision.
Dedicated to Grandma who has the best outlook in life. I love you always.
