How Do YOU Know When It’s Your Moment?

March 2, 2011 Leave a comment

You don’t. You could potentially be waiting your entire lifetime, on something great to happen to you, something extraordinary. It’s the moment you’ve dreamed about, you’ve prayed about, you’ve worked relentlessly for, WHEN is it going to happen! As the years go by, and you’re steady on your grind, you constantly sacrifice, but continuously miss out on countless birthdays, and holidays, and family gatherings and picnics, and class reunions, and any other monumental event that you can possibly think of—you miss out on, and your “moment” still hasn’t come. You feel it coming, people around you begin to feel like “something is about to happen”, a few more years go by, and nothing yet. Great experiences, sure—but not that moment you’ve been waiting for.

Time is important, how we spend it, and who we spend it with, is important. What I’ve discovered, is that “the” moment—is always NOW. It’s not always necessary to sacrifice as much as you do, you feel it’s necessary because you’re grinding, but in reality—your family needs to see you, your friends need to hear from you. Share the experiences leading to that great moment, with them.

Don’t be so caught up, striving for THE moment, that you don’t experience the beauty of the moment that you’re in.

Be Still and Know.

I woke up uber-early this morning! I intend to go get a good workout in too!! But I went to sleep last night complaining and wallowing in LA’s Real Estate market compared to other cities. It drives me crazy that the apartment I want here is 2,000 a month and I can get the same but slightly LARGER apartment for a fraction of the price in St. Louis for only 450! It really discourages me from finding a place in LA. Not to mention everywhere here is pretty over populated, if I was to get the apartment I want, in the community I want—low traffic, I could easily be looking upwards 3-4,000 a month. On an APARTMENT.

Anyway, so I woke up this morning feeling convicted about my “glacial” pace. I’ve been coasting in my comfort zone, perhaps had I not, I wouldn’t be complaining about rent prices.

And what kind of believer complains about anything really when you believe and know who God is. I was definitely tripping. So anyway, it’s time to pick up the pace and break through.

This AM I am thankful for this new consciousness.

Don’t ever find yourself waiting for the right time. It’s always right now. Even when you’re waiting on God, YOU should still be moving. More often than not, we think we’re waiting on him, but actually he’s just waiting on us.

So, LOOK TO THE ANT! Go be productive… produce results.
