Isn't it amazing when you have what Oprah calls an "aha" moment? The moment where you discover why things aren't going the way you would like for them to go. When you discover why you aren't getting the results you hoped for.
I got my "aha" moment a few days ago. I realized that I am lacking confidence in my abilities, in my strengths as a person and the scope of what I can achieve. I needed to reflect on the reasons why I am where I am right now. Is it because of God? Support from my family? My own self determination? The answer is all three.
I am currently in my third year of college because I asked God for guidance and I trusted in His promises and in His power. My family has always been my support system. If I ever had a problem, I didn't need to look too far for wisdom and sound advice. I am a part of the reason I am where I am because as the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I had to make my own decisions at the end of the day, and I chose to be an advocate for my own success.
Because of my own drive and the influence of positive forces in my life, I am where I am. I needed to reaquaint myself with my own reality. I was and can still be an advocate for my own success if I wake up and realize that the only thing missing in the equation is the willingness on my part to advocate.
Everyone else is doing their share.
