Waiting for the bus

"You vote with your time." Think about that statement carefully, it's powerful. This wisdom was shared with me by one of my students, it was his grandfather's wisdom that was redirecting his path.

There are still days I just can't focus. Scattered.. scared.. there are moments where I feel invisible to the world. Lost, I have no idea who I am. I feel like I'm just waiting yet what exactly am I waiting for?

An interesting blog ( http://blogmaverick.com/2012/03/18/dont-follow-your-passion-follow-your-effort/ ) post breaks it down in four simple points...

1. When you work hard at something you become good at it.
2. When you become good at doing something, you will enjoy it more.
3. When you enjoy doing something, there is a very good chance you will become passionate or more passionate about it
4. When you are good at something, passionate and work even harder to excel and be the best at it, good things happen.
5. Don’t follow your passions, follow your effort. It will lead you to your passions and to success, however you define it.

Thankfully there are now days in which I feel confident, secure, knowing that I have made a difference in the lives of the students I touch. My efforts to empower others to believe they can achieve the impossible fills my soul. To empower myself, to believe that I can achieve the impossible as I walk this journey without my husband by my side, is slowly becoming easier.

I am humbled by God's grace in my life.
