Lately, I’ve been trying to figure out the placement over my life. Figuring out the purpose, what’s for me, what’s not, whose in the way of my end destination, do I even have a end destination set for me? Etc. All these things led me to isolation, deep thought, and prayer. I had to ask myself so many questions. I had to stop questioning faith and start trusting my inner strength and realize that whatever is for me, will always be for me, no matter how many people try to obstruct my view, create detours, and stop signs, whatever is for me, will forever be my vision no matter if other people can see it or not.
Let me break it down.
A lot of times, we as people rush the process because we live in a microwave society, meaning everything is hot for 30 seconds, then not, and the cycle continues.
We are in such a rush to make it to social media with a long paragraph about our accomplishments that when our destiny takes longer than the time we allotted for it, we start to panic and question if this is even for us.
Not realizing, that no one put a time on anything but man. God works at his pace and places you where he sees you are fit for this season. But, we are so caught up in rushing things that we don’t even take a second to realize the magnitude of the blessing we are currently in.
Not everything you are doing is meant to last forever. But everything is purposeful and is meant to teach you something before you embark on your next journey.
If you want this top career, and you never had to work in an environment that took the passion from you, how will you appreciate good when you get it?
If you want this epic love story, brown sugar, love jones type vibe, but you never knew what it felt like to be in a Whitney and Bobbi stage (they were honestly goals, minus the drugs, so this is a toxic comparison don’t lose me). How would you know what not to ask for when you’re looking for love?
I’m not saying that everyone must experience bad to attain good, or at least appreciate the bad. I’m saying that there is a plan over your life, that is much bigger than your “right now”, and soon as you realize that, your perspective on your current state will change.
Granted, hell is not fun for anyone, feeling like you’re lost and your next is nowhere near isn’t easy.
But once you start to picture where you were, and look at where you are currently, and align it to where you see yourself, it all seems like a puzzle of growth.
God is planting certain pieces so you can attain the masterpiece.
Stop comparing your 9-5 to an Instagrammer's 300k, stop comparing your hustle to someone who has a different vision. Your come up won’t be there come up because God gave you all two separate visions with a different purpose attached to it.
What's for you, will never miss you, it may avoid you until you’re ready, it may drag its feet, it may wait until it has perfected a recipe, but it will never miss you.
