Change; The Challenge is Worth It

I am always up for a challenge and that is exactly what I got. It seems that every aspect of my life has been thrown into the blender. It is currently being mixed up. I just can’t wait to see how it turns out in the end. One thing I know for sure… God has got something mighty fine in store ahead. How do I know? Because that is just who He is.

Many people say that when one door closes, another opens. I believe that is true but the question is… Is the new door better than the old door? That is a question I do not have to worry about and actually am refusing to give any attention to. Through these challenging times I am making a deliberate decision to trust in the Lord. To worry about the next door would be to not trust. I am 100% certain that the road ahead will be great. I am also certain it will be challenging but that will not take away from the greatness. To expect less, would be to expect less of God.

As I seize every opportunity that comes my way or that I can find, I am learning. In fact, I have learned more in the past week than I have in the past year. By learning I mean learning that encompasses all aspects from formal education to industry awareness to social forums to personal and family life to financial strategy and much more. Although I am excited to see where I will end up, I am also enjoying the process. I am odd that way; I don’t subscribe to the belief that in all situations if there is no pain, there is no gain but I do understand that in many situations that is the case. I actually enjoy going to the dentist, even though there is sometimes pain. The expectation of the end result makes the process worth it. The challenges of the process is what makes the prize at the end more valuable.

So, I just read what I wrote and then asked myself, why did I just write that? Who cares? I guess the answer is I don’t know… Just thinking out loud I guess. Maybe trying to convince myself the challenges are worth it or maybe reminding myself the challenges are worth it. In any event, I am certain the challenges are worth it and looking forward to the next chapter of life.

UPDATE: A new chapter begins…
