Venture Towards the Vision

"The vision must be followed by the venture.  It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs."  ~Vance Havner

We can dream all we want to do great things in our lives.  If we do not act on those dreams, take that first step, we will never attain that goal.  Even the smallest steps toward the goal/dream can keep us on the right track in life.  And along the way, we will certainly hit detours, but we need to keep moving forward.  We are given the gift of each day and it is up to us how we use that day.  Do we sit idly by and do nothing, or do we actively engage in each moment and make it ours.

I sit here at the airport about to take a step towards my vision... to become a midwife. I could be annoyed that the flight is delayed, yet I choose to sit back and enjoy the moments that I have been given to reflect on this new venture.  I do not expect it to be easy, yet I don't expect it to be difficult.  I expect it to be wrought with challenges.  As I meet those challenges, I expect to feel overwhelming pride that I am headed in the right direction.  See, challenges are not difficulties to me.  They are opportunities to push me to my limits.  Without pushing myself to my limits, I may never know what I am truly capable of.

Today's advice?  Get out there and do something with your day.  You will never, ever, get today back.  There is so much out there to experience... get out there!
