A good ride

So I went on a little bike ride today, and at one point there was this good-sized hill coming up. I knew it was there, and was battling with myself in my head, "should I do it? Should I go the shorter easier way?" I proceeded, determined to ignore the logical part of my brain; but when I'm on these bike rides I like to pray/think about things and I saw this hill as a metaphor to challenges in my life.

As some of you may know, I never finished college to instead pursue my passion for photography. I just couldn't get myself determined/motivated enough to do it. I am now embarking on a journey of being a business owner of two different companies. This also presents itself with challenges, like that hill, which I could just take the easy way out on. But while riding this hill, I tried something different than I have ever done before... I didn't look at the top of the hill, the end of the hurt that I was about to put myself through, I instead, looked at the road directly in front of me, got myself into the right gear for where I was right than, and before I knew it I was at the top!

I realized, that I need to take steps in business in a similar light. There is A LOT of work ahead, but if I set goals my goals high, but focus on the small goals directly in front of me, before I know it, I'll be where I want to be. May it be at the top or even if I fail. At least I will know that I gave it my all, and felt good about the decisions I made day to day. So be inspired today, put your head down and drive forward, work hard, and be the best you can be, TODAY!

"Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own."
-Matthew 6:33-34
