Your plans/Life's plans/God's plans

Growing up, we had so much hope and positive energy for the many things we wanted and expected to happen. We set goals and write down plans for the goals we want to achieve. We had so much resilience and were certain that nothing could stand in our way. But getting older, we indeed realize that life is not what we thought it would be. The horizon is so much wider than our thought process and we never can tell where life is taking us to or what God has in store for us.

Somewhere down the road, we got frustrated because all the things we wanted didn't work out the way we wanted, or rather expected. We wanted to give up, to stop trying, to give into the Que Sara Sara mindset of living each day as it comes because we got tired of making plans that wound up with frustrated feelings.

Growth, Leveling Up

But we grew. And we are still growing. We are setting our minds to works, and letting ourselves get exposed to sources of knowledge to widen our knowledge horizons. We are giving ourselves to learning and self-development, keeping an open mind for the many beautiful lessons to learn, ready to unlearn and relearn. Slowly, we are stepping out of our comfort zones, safe spaces, and little cocoons because we have realized that there is no success in the safe. Life outside our comfort zone is scary and unpredictable, but what's scarier is never truly living the life you wished to live because you let your fears take over, not wanting to take a step in faith.

We have realized that growth happens only when we're stretched because the stretching gets us ready to step into the spotlight. We are now ready and willing to trust the process and trust God's plans for us. We are not just giving ourselves to growth, but we are maturing; emotionally, physically, spiritually, psychologically. We no longer give in to fear of the negative 'what-ifs' because we realize that for every negative 'what-if', there are a thousand and one positive 'what-ifs'. We are taking the baby steps that will propel us to greater heights, we are building the needed foundation for a bigger tomorrow, and we do not doubt the occurrence of our greater tomorrow, not because of what and how we've prepared, but because we know who we are and whose we are!
