Twenty-Six

Every year on January 14 for as long as I can remember I’ve asked myself the same question, “is this all I have to give?” As a rule, I don’t answer until the morning I wake up on January 15th. The answer is always yes. As long as I’m breathing I’ll always think that i have more to give. How else am i supposed to keep growing? I’ve gone years thinking I’m supposed to be doing something differently, but in reality I’m doing what was meant for me, I just have to keep pushing and never be satIsfied. 

This year, I’m promising to myself to hold myself accountable for keeping up with the goals and things that make my heart beat a little faster. During year 25 I experienced many rejections that at times were very difficult and I could not understand. Plain and simple, I just wasn’t ready. Along with these rejections came many mistakes and with those mistakes came even more lessons. Even with all of the rejection and the failures, I can say I have even more accomplishments and “approvals” this year from The Big Guy upstairs. 

With everything I’ve experienced it’s impossible for me not to improve on it this year. The past few years I’ve made commitments to giving back to myself, giving back to my community, and giving back to those around me. Now, I’m ready to start mixing and giving back to everything. Working on myself only prepared me to give back in a better way to my community. I’m ready. 

The marathon continues!
