Perspective
If I weren't scared what would I do?
2 Timothy 1:7, "For God hath not us the spirit of fear; but of power, and love, and a sound mind." As I have gotten older I have begun to look at the world a bit differently. There is an old saying that "time flies when your having fun" but the converse to that is also true, "time flies when your not having fun." Time as no respect for man, woman, or child; it will continue to pass whether we want it to or not, and whether we take advantage of it or not.
Earlier this year I made some "gutsy" decisions as it relates to my life. I left my job, I left the church I had been a member of since I was 11 ( as well as being an associate minister their since 2011), and the young lady I was dating for a year and half came to a consensus that we should go our separate ways. And if all this was not enough all there of these significant event transpired within 7 days of each other. However, after digesting all these events I began to realize that I had began to have a mental clarity that I not sure I have ever had before. I began to workout regularly again and lost 17 lbs. in nine weeks. Then started my own personal training business -EnMotion Training: check me out on facebook, instagram, & twitter - something I have had in my heart to do for many years.
By no means has this "transition" in my life been easy or comfortable, but I believe I that I have been equipped to endure all the hardships, failures, and successes that are in my immediate future and beyond. So many moons from now when I'm to feeble to go any further I can sit in my rocking chair, facing toward the west, watch the sun set and say to myself "I wasn't ever scared."
