God gave us passion and dreams for a reason. Our purpose is to find out what that is, and how to implement it to make the world a better place. When we fulfill those goals, desires, and dreams, the world looks immensely better. When I discovered mine, the world became just that much clearer. Now, has it been a struggle? Oh yeah! Have there been less than flattering reviews where I felt like I got slammed into a wall? Definitely! But I now have people around me who encourage and support me. They help me to stay focused on the race before me.
Who are you surrounding yourself with? Make sure they are helping you focus on your goals, cheering you on!
Hebrews 12:1 reminds us, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
