Our paths will take us many places and you never know where you will end up.
A year ago I was further from my goal. I was unhappy and had very doubtful thoughts of whether any of of my aspirations would ever come true. I couldnt see the path and i tread blindly in a miasma of depression and feelings of those who have unfulfilled dreams...and yet I never gave up.
I followed one of the rules of my fellow carvers.
"Tell everyone about what you are doing. Chances are one day the right people will hear you."
Even in the darkness i refuse to succumb to the doubts. I felt the doubts as real as the summer sun on my skin but i never let their fire burn me. I always maintained that one day I would do it, i would reach that next step.
I'm still not where i want to be, but im a lot closer than i was. The work only gets harder from this point on. A lot more people will be watching and their expectations will be higher but I knew that going in. I will prepare myself and the will that I have crafted and sharpened. I will turn my limits into strenths and reach for that next higher step, I will climb the path, growing as I take each laborous, arduous step and i will be better for it.
I am one step closer to where I want to be and it feels great.
Carve on my friends
