In my early days, I had to numb myself. There was so much work. The amount of work you can only measure by how much it weighs. And if I stopped to think about how “unfinishable” the amount of work I had to do was, I would’ve quit.
So I did the only thing I could do, I’d take the first thing off the stack and start…without thinking about how shitty & alone I felt. And how everyone I knew was enjoying their life in their perfect bubble of security following the path someone else put in front of them.
There’s a reason race horses wear blinders. Focus only on what’s in front of you.
You’ll get through it. Keep going.

IF you study your Bible you don’t become Catholic, Orthodox, Mormon, Jehovah Witness, or Seventh Day Adventist. You become a Bible believing born again Christian abiding in the doctrine of Christ, who has a Trust and Faith in Jesus and His finished work on the Cross!
What a privilege to be tired from the work you prayed for. What a privilege to feel overwhelmed by growth you used to dream about. What a privilege to be challenged by a life you created on purpose. What a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for.
As you grow older, you begin to understand: your father was just a man trying his best with what he knew. Forgive him. He was living life for the first time, too.
