Blazenstvo

"If you put a candle on the sun, it may be amidst the grandest of light, but it can not see the potential of it's flame. Only when you surround it with darkness will it have the chance to see it's full light"

While on a walk with my lovely room mate Sarah I told her this quote, which I summed up from a story I had heard in a podcast I was listening to. For some reason it struck both of us quite hard. 

I remember after I heard the full story I just sat and thought. 

I believe in passion and purpose. I believe I am finding mine. And as much as I don't think we ever fully know what our full purpose ever is, I do feel I'm headed in the right direction. 

This whole journey for me has been anything but smooth sailing. It's been a roller coaster of ups and downs and set backs. But some how and some way, it has always worked out.

And after hearing that story it just kind of hit me, maybe this isn't supposed to be easy for me. Maybe I'm supposed to struggle in order to be able to show people regardless of what knocks you down it's still possible. 

I can say follow your dreams and never give up all I want, but who would listen to me if I had just been discovered somewhere and was walking for Chanel the following week. 

Instead I've pushed, I've worked and I've had to get myself to where I am now. And I'm still having to push and constantly give it my all. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Because I know when I do reach that point of my own success, it will taste that much sweeter for I will know it was my own blood sweat and tears that got me there. Not a hand that was extended and pulled me along. 

Adversity is there to give you strength. A ball can't bounce unless it hits the ground first. The harder the fall, the higher it soars. So any struggles or moments of defeat are there to only help raise us higher. Not to hold us down.

Alright, that's my vent for the evening
