Give Me The Meaning

My life is even getting better. I am at that point where nothing good is happening. All my expectations have taken a different turn. I thought by now. I would have arrived at my destination. I had a specific destination. One that I was working very hard to reach. At one point, everything pointed to that destination. I was on track. I was almost arriving. Then, suddenly out of nowhere. A hurricane came. The storm did not come to play. It destroyed everything. All those miles that I had covered became nothing. It no longer mattered that I was almost arriving. The presence of a hurricane meant that I had to go back to the beginning. And redo the things that I had already done. To rebuild where I had already built. To reintroduce myself when I had already introduced myself. To cover the same miles, I had already walked.

And while my life has acquired the unlikely turn. This is not the saddest moment of my life. I am not pulling my hair. Because a strong storm. Destroyed my life as I know it. I am not cursing. I am not blaming. Instead, I have remained present in this unlikely moment. My focus is not on what I lost. My focus is to understand the meaning. Of all the years that I had prepared for this destination. Why did the hurricane choose now? Now, when I was almost arriving. Now, when I had seen the potential of my business. Now, when I was planning a celebration. Why was now the perfect time? Because let us face it. I have been in my industry for ten years. In ten years. I had figured out a lot of things. My career was flourishing. I was thriving as an individual. I was the go-to-person for a lot of people. Anyone within my inner circle that had a problem. Knew who to call.

My Special Message

Yet, the hurricane chose this critical moment. When I had positioned myself to do so many things. Just when I was thinking of branding myself. Just when I had figured out the next level of my career. Just when I knew where I was going. And what was going to happen. When I get to the destination. But the hurricane had to interrupt all these beautiful things. It just decided that I should not arrive. That I should not see the destination. The hurricane thought that delaying me was the best thing. That stalling me was the right thing. However, I don’t blame the hurricane. There has to be something behind that hurricane. This is not just any other time. This is a special moment of my life. I have to see it that way. And I want the special in this time. Inside that special. Lies my message. My special message. One that will change everything.

So I will not question the hurricane. I will take the damage that it did. And pick my lessons. Those lessons are my intelligence for the future. I have accepted the plot twist. I will carry my cross. And while carrying it. I will refrain my mind from wondering. I will ask it to calm down. And focus on the work ahead. I will advise my mind to focus on rebuilding. This is my responsibility right now. To gather everything that was damaged. And clear the ground. It is time to plant. And I am looking for the best seeds to plant. Those that will produce twice the first seeds. I will work over time. I will work until I get back on track. I still have to arrive. My destination is important. I must arrive no matter what. It does not matter how difficult it will get. I will remain on course. I will walk. I will cover the same miles again.

Don’t think I am out of my mind. When I say this. I have felt the pain. I have seen the disappointment. I know the work ahead of me. And I will rebuild everything that was broken. I will take responsibility. I will not complain. Because no one bullies me in my own life. No one pushes me out of the way. No one steals from me. I will get back everything that the hurricane destroyed. This is my life. And no one decides how I should live it. The decision of how is mine to make. Not the hurricane’s. So it does not matter how much I have lost. It does not matter how the hurricane disoriented me or how it made me feel. I will calm my nerves. And open my eyes. No one will steal the special out of this moment. I must get the full message of the moment. That is why I will linger here long enough. To discover the motive of the hurricane.

Confidently Building

It interrupted a good moment in my life. I was getting to the next height of my life. It interrupted that moment. And drew me in disarray. It took away my resources. The hurricane stole from me. It delayed me. And hit hard my business. But I received the message. I know why the hurricane came. Someone, had to stop me. I was moving too fast to the chagrin of so many people. They had to do something. They had to target the jugular.

But here I am. Confidently building. Confidently standing. Confidently learning. I am more determined than ever. I will have everything that I was supposed to have before the hurricane came. I will rise to the top. My name will be established in a city. I will own part of the city. And my work will be read by millions around the world. Because no one has the authority to change my script.

My life belongs to me. I am the only authorized person who can make changes. Not a hurricane or envious people. So I will tap into this authority and take charge of my own life. I will protect my interests. I will make progress. I will move forward. It does not matter how long it will take. I will repossess everything that the hurricane stole from me. The plot twist might not be what I was expecting. But it happened anyway. I accept that this might not be my best times. However, I will not take a blow lying down.

I will face my challengers. With a different kind of fight. Not the one about revenge. But a different kind of fight. One that happens in the mind. One that is reserved for the wise. That is the kind of battle I am willing to fight. One that empowers me. One that gives me wisdom. One that helps me to see enemies one year before they strike. That is the kind of intelligence I have gained, while understanding the plot twist of my life. That I can be wise. Strong. And determined.
