As We Forge Ahead Into The Darkness

By Evan Sanders


It's a brief moment.

A moment where the biggest deacon of your life comes upon you. A moment in the dark.

Run away or run forward.

The challenges that face us continue on no matter what. They will continue to test you daily if you are designed to rise to the greatest heights.

But the big decision to be made is all yours.

Do you escape?

Or do you fight?

This moment had arrived upon my doorstop only a few days ago and I had to make one of the biggest decisions of my life. Initially I thought it would bring about more confusion, but interestingly enough, it brought about a sense of peace and clarify.

But how do you make that decision to forge ahead?

How could peace come out of such a test?

You dig deep down into your soul and understand exactly who and what you stand for. When you know what you are all about, it is far easier to face your fears.

Forge ahead.

Don't quit when it gets hard.

You can just imagine the Captain of your ship gripping onto the helm as tight as possible screaming to his men to continue forward. There are no old ways. There's no turning back. There's only what's right in front of you.

Many times we will lose our focus and momentum.

We fail to stick according to plan because we are discouraged by a lack of movement forward.

But when we face our deepest fears, our purpose returns back to us.

And with that purpose, the fire inside started to light again. Another day, another effort, and another opportunity to move forward in the direction I wished for.

We must continuously strive to be the greatest versions of ourselves despite the fact that we come up short over and over again. We have to see beyond who we are now to keep ourselves growing and developing.

Yes we will fail.

But there should be pride in the defeat.

Take seriously pride in your endless persistence.

Take pride in the effort you have given in the past.

The scars and the victories define you and make you into a bold soul that encourages any action that may bring on victory or defeat.

The ones who work in the dark of night are our heroes. They are the ones who constantly forge ahead no matter how bad things may have been.
