A new beginning is often quite intimidating, but exciting at the same time. Change is harder than what most can understand; talk is cheap, and no amount of words will ever fully justify a persons soul, nor provide an accurate estimate of ones experiences. I have always had a hard time with change. Because its like a storm that is coming that will either wash away your progress, or your past, depending on which you choose to allow to be washed away.
You can feel broken or stronger than before. Changing is actually when you become most vulnerable. You are transitioning from being on solid, familiar ground, to something new, and you may or may not like what you get - the grass isn't always greener on the other side, our minds are too good into tricking us into believing that.
But I find strength and courage in knowing that one man because He stood and faced the storm, never wavering, overcame the world, and made a path for us, to follow him. Sadly that path is the less traveled path. But if he could do so much more than I do, I should be able to over come my weaknesses, and build a better life for myself. I figure that I will be OK, even if the whole earth hates me, because the whole world hated him first.
I guess I am just going to have to try harder, fight longer, faster, and better. There isn't any room for mistakes or excuses. If you want something, you have to give your all-no matter what that is in your life. If Christ could conquer the world, I am sure I can conquer myself. It is true what they say "The greatest and holiest of all battles are fought within the silent chamber of your own soul."
