There's gotta be something more....

It doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing. What defines me is not what I do, but what I rise to. I'm not going to accept simply subsisting. That's what makes me.

So no matter how hard it is, I have to take a step above simply being at Bible College. I have to raise the bar one more notch. It's not enough for me to be there and learning, I have to aim for something more. If I don't, I think I'll crumble. I'm just built to go the extra distance.

I know I can do this. I know the requirements for someone like me are savage. The cost for me to simply subsist has been nearly everything. The cost for me to rise to a challenge that no one else knows or expects, will be everything I have in me.

I could say I'm not doing it in my own strength, and I would be absolutely right. What that description does not tell, is that every action demands an application of willpower from me or I cannot do it. Right now I am purposing to do this. I am purposing to change my life from acceptable to better. I am deciding that my life will be lived at another level now.

Now I will write down my intentions, and in writing them down I will freeze them into this time and space, into this world. They will then exist - not just thoughts but actions taking shape.

Write it down. Make it a schedule. Let your dreams dictate your future. If you don't write it down, your doubts and fears will swallow it.
