It Eventually Balances Out

First off, I'd like to thank Danielle LaPorte, over at White Hot Truth, for pulling this out of me.  To say her words are inspirational is an understatement, so I'll let you be the judge of that.

But, basically for about a year now, there has been this underlying current of feeling that has me thinking I am behind.  Things, in my life, simply have not manifested as quickly as I'd like them to.  I guess this is a typical case of wanting what you want, well before it is time to get what you get, or something like that.  But I still feel my life is in queue for much more.

After reading the above mentioned post, a relaxation occurred.  I didn't feel as bad about the slow procession my arrival at my life's goals seems to be taking.  I am just happy to feel like it's coming.  I think the negative or downward spiral things has taken in the past can now only mean an "up" is approaching.

Just today, out of nowhere, I received a call for a job interview.  This wasn't even a job I applied for.  But the fact that this offer has manifested itself invokes the possibility of the positive.  I am eagerly anticipating the future.  Again.  I'm laughing right now, because it seems I need several of these moments to embrace the good I see coming, in order to simply move towards them.  But I think that's okay too.

I love this quote:

"In the depths of winter, I finally learned there was in me, an invincible summer."
                                                          ----  Albert Camus

No matter how cold, or how barren, things seem, there is always a fire burning within, fueling us to do those things, which ultimately must be done.  We will not freeze in these winters.  Eventually, we will shine, as flames.

I am ready to shine.  But I am also patiently waiting.

  1. I wish I could "like" this post repeatedly! I've had moments like this before and I've always felt like the late bloomer but.. "to everything there is a season and time to every purpose under the heaven"

    This post reassured me once again. Thanks!

  2. :) I'm glad that you found some reassurance through this post. I think for those of us who go through these moments, this is what helps us continue on. So you are very welcome, and knowing that I was able to encourage you has brought me my own reassurance. So thank you, as well!
