It is the every-day things that lead to the once-in-a-life-time things
I don’t know where to start really.
I have come to this place in my life where I am content with where I am in terms of trusting where I am going and knowing I won’t stay in one place at least for too long.
That alone gives me some form of reassurance that my life won’t become stagnate or boring.
Yet, I also still have some of the same desires burning within me that have not faded away but have grown into more of a hopeful imagining to basically dream bigger than I ever have before.
How do we live with those two factors coursing through our thoughts all day long?
Some people may be content where they are but maybe have had their dreams fade into the “reality” of more practical reaches.
Some people may dream bigger than life itself, yet lack the satisfaction of living in the simple moments they find where they currently are.
But to live with both, to hold on to the big dreams and yet still have room left over to breathe in sweet simplicities seems like an impossible feat.
I think I went through stages of my life where I was on opposite sides of that spectrum.
I was either stuck in my dreams and not okay with where I was, or embraced where I was and figured my crazy dreams were just me trying to be something I wasn’t meant to be.
Over the years, especially towards the end of my twenties, God taught me how to have both.
He taught me to embrace both, whole heartedly I might add.
He showed me that feeling the riskiness that seems to be so real is just a part of moving forward through a journey that has so many unknowns to it.
Most of all He would always give me more and more hope that He was leading me.
It still is a strange place to be to embrace both the dreams not yet reached and the place I am in now that may seem directionless.
I sometimes fight both the feelings and thoughts that I am not there yet and I am always going to stay where I am.
Both are somehow true and relevant, yet both are existent with the other and not without.
I am both where I am suppose to be now yet not where I am going to end up.
I guess one of the biggest truths God has taught me though is this:
It is the little things right now that lead to the bigger things later on.
It is the every-day things that lead to the once-in-a-life-time things.
Me being content or even satisfied where I am now allows me to embrace where I am, even though where I am may seem “little” compared to the biggerdreams I have.
But who says that these “little” moments aren’t accumulating and building up momentum towards something much much bigger than even the “big” dreams I have for later?
