The last few days have been a little bit of a struggle. Motivation has escaped me on several occasions and I have had to fight hard to recapture it once again. Discouragement seems to find me more often now and obstacles are beginning to form in front of me. I am seeing the infamous wall grow out of thin air and it is working its way skyward to obstruct my view of the happiness to come.
It happens every time a person begins to make strives towards a better future. There is no avoiding it and there are two options available. I can break through it or I can let it break me and I refuse to steer down the latter path. I've been working so hard on this and, even though the work is hard, I get so much joy from what I'm doing. I am struggling throughout the day as I try to manage my Navy life, my personal life, and my future life, but I take comfort in knowing that soon enough the pressure and stress that I am enduring will all be worth it. I gain momentum from knowing that I will never stop making positive changes in my life and with each step forward, I am moving faster. The sun shines on my face and my faith shares the burden that I carry. They say that if you work at something that you enjoy, then you will never truly work a day in your life. That is my future.
In a matter of weeks I have managed to changed so many aspects of my life that were making me unhappy. I still have a long way to go on this journey and I have proven to myself that the will power was easier to come by than expected. Faith is by far the strongest force on earth and I have learned to use it as motivation and wield it as if it were a tool in my hands. With it, I will conquer my fear of stepping out into the open. I will put myself out there and continue on my way no matter what obstacles develop in my path. I will finish what I have started.
