Forging Ahead Into The Unknown

By Evan Sanders


It's a brief moment.

There's this little moment that comes upon you like a whisper in the dark. It's just there for a second and then it can be gone. But oh how important it is.

Run away or run forward.

The challenges that face us are there to determine whether we truly want it bad enough or not. We fight like hell to show our best stuff and time after time we are tried and tried again.

But there is a big decision to be made.

Do you escape?

Or do you fight?

This moment tested me only a few days ago and was waiting for me to break. But I didn't. Rather, I faced the moment head on and forged ahead into the challenges that were due to come.

But how do you make that decision to forge ahead?

How do you face your fear?

Because once you make a decision to face your fears instead of run from them you become something far greater than who you are right now. You don't run scared. You don't surrender. Instead, you face what you were destined to face.

Forge ahead.

Don't quit when it gets hard.

In a sense, you can almost see the Captain of a ship deciding to head straight into the challenging waters and urging his men to keep their faith. Similarly, you have to do this with your fears.

Many times we will lose our focus and momentum.

We can get discouraged by the lack of movement forward and stray from the plan that is designed to keep us moving ahead.

But with facing our fears, a renewed sense of purpose arrives.

And with that purpose, the fire inside started to light again. Another day, another effort, and another opportunity to move forward in the direction I wished for.

We must continuously strive to be the greatest versions of ourselves despite the fact that we come up short over and over again. We have to see beyond who we are now to keep ourselves growing and developing.

Yes failure is part of growing.

But there should be pride in the defeat.

Take incredible amounts of pride in your persistence.

Believe in yourself enough to keep trying despite failing over and over again.

The scars and the victories define you and make you into a bold soul that encourages any action that may bring on victory or defeat.

The ones who work in the dark of night are our heroes. They are the ones who constantly forge ahead no matter how bad things may have been.
