Grit! I will continue to apply simple and consistent efforts

Good mawning! 

 Grit!

Over the course of the last year, myself and my family have been through a LOT of transformative experiences and opportunities. From really low points to being in the process of experiencing a dream opportunity.

I am humbly reminded of the potential of the lows as well as the gifts and heights of the mountainous opportunities…

And in the space between them both is where we be. 

We are being grown, refined, revealed, stretched, encouraged, taught, and guided into versions of ourselves we COULD never fully fathom.

Which brings me around to this point… in the journey of setting goals, intentions, expectations, achievements… In the wisp of considering outcomes, results, and tangibles,,, no matter how I put my imagination to it, I find that there is something marvelous and missed in it all. And that main thing is, how am I through all of this? 

Do I ever “dream” of how I would miraculously handle a surprise encounter that I didn’t expect? Do I truly give thought to the fullness of character I would hold of myself in the face of my own resistance in a task? DO I see and feel, in fullness the person I am BEING in the space of loss or unexpected outcomes?

Just yesterday, I was gifted an opportunity that I only had “hoped” for. I tried to imagine what my response would be when the moment came. I was HOPING I would be filled with a warm and fuzzy feeling, like a sun-bathed meadow (with no mosquitoes LOL) and I feel as happy as I did when I bit into the grilled cheese sandwiches we had for dinner about a month ago.

And instead, I felt pain LOL. And astonishment. And sadness… And the need to be alert and mindful. And grateful. And the need to just “accept” what it was that has come. ALL AT THE SAME TIME! And then it came at me again LOL. And another one! And heck, why not ONE MORE!!!

In that moment, where my continued and “lack-luster” steps forward that preceded it, I realized I knew I was at the edge of continuing, but NOT attached to the “failing”. I was grateful for the process that would bring me to the “end” and then I was gifted with enough perseverance to continue just that little ways more.

I CAN stand in the realization of my worthy goal. AND… I really don’t know how I will be in THAT moment where “we” stand together. But I feel that I have prepared myself as best as I can to receive it. “It” and all of the experiences that will come, and for that opportunity to even be present in the process, I am grateful.

So for today, and as well the day that follows,  I will continue to apply simple and consistent efforts in increasing measure WHILE being present in the experiences that come with it. Because I can see its THOSE moments I have signed up for.
