Moving Forward

‘Time waits for no man.’ This is a short and powerful phrase. Time never stops moving forward. It does not slow down or stop. It is in a state of constant movement forward.

If you have found your life’s purpose and passion, get after it. Keep going! If you have found your purpose and calling, but have not done anything about it, it is time to get after it.

It always seems to surprise me how fast each year passes. As I write this blog, November 2024 is halfway over, and 2024 is winding down. In a few short weeks a new year will begin.

With this in mind, here are a few reminders as you either get started pursuing your purpose and passions, or as you continue to pursue and expand on your life’s calling.

First, remember why you started. Stay focused on your mission. Monotony and routine can cause you to become stagnant or complacent in what you are doing.

Second, take time to reflect. It may feel like you are not making progress. You may become frustrated at times, when you feel like you are just going through the motions. It may be a good idea to pause for a brief time to reflect. Take a moment to think about how far you have come and how much you have grown in your journey. Making a mental note of your progress may help reignite the fire of your passion and pursuit.

Third, make some adjustments. In last week’s blog, ‘Adjusting Course’ was a reminder about the importance and significance of periodically making strategic adjustments. If something is helping and moving you forward in the right direction, keep doing it. If there is something that you have been doing for awhile and it is not helping or it is moving you off track, then it is time to change it.

I want to leave you with two thoughts as this year winds down and 2025 comes in to view. First; ‘You are the greatest project that you will ever work on. So, restart, reset, refocus as many times as you need.’ Second; ‘Keep going, because you deserve to see what happens when all your hard work pays off.

Keep moving forward!
