MOMENTS IN
LIFE
There are moments in our lives when we find
ourselves at a crossroad, afraid, confused, without a road map. The choices we
make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course, when faced
with the unknown… most of us prefer to turn around and go back, but once in a
while people push on to something better, something found just beyond the pain
of doing it alone, and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let
someone in or to give someone a second chance, something beyond the quiet
persistence of a dream; because it’s only when you are tested that you truly discover
who you are and who you can be. The person you want to be does exist, somewhere
on the other side of hard work, faith, belief, and beyond heartache and fear of
what lies ahead.
Do you ever look at a picture of yourself and
see a stranger at the background; it makes you wonder how many strangers have
pictures of you? How many moments of other people’s life have we been in? Were
we part of someone’s life when their dream came true? Or were we there when
their dreams died? Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were somehow destined
to be there? Or did the shot take us by surprise? Just think you could be a
part of someone else’s life and not even know it.
There comes a time when every life goes off
course. In this desperate moment, you must choose your direction? Will you
fight to stay on the path? Will others tell you who you are? Or will you label
yourself? Will you be haunted by your choice? Or will you embrace your new
path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up. Will you
let down your defenses and find solace in someone unexpectedly? Will you face
your greatest fears bravely and move forward with faith and fate? Or will you8
succumb to the darkness in your soul.
Have you ever had a dream that seems so real,
when you woke up you didn’t know what to believe? What will you do when what
you thought was true wasn’t and vice versa? You can choose to blame your
circumstances on fate or bad luck or bad choices or you can fight back. Things aren’t
always going to be fair in the real world and that’s just the way it is, but
for the most part you get what you give. What’s worse? Not getting everything you
wished for or getting it but finding out it’s not enough.
The rest of your life is been shaped right
now, with the dreams you chased, the choices you make and the person you decide
to be for the rest of your life in a long time. The rest of your life starts
now.
