THE STORY
I came across these words well over 10 years ago. Since then they’ve been replaying in my mind and a filter for my actions. They have helped me search within myself to understand what I truly want, and serve as a reminder of my reason as I persist through challenges.
Days with work, school and training still on the schedule, long hours building a business from scratch, communicating and showing up to improve a relationship. These and much more can be challenging. What we want usually takes a lot of effort and time day in and day out. Not only do we have to be consistent for it to build, but also keep the bigger picture in mind. It can be easy to get lost in things like the tiny details and dealing with emotions and outside pressure. It can be easy to forget to do what you truly want.
I was the kid who carried a volleyball around everywhere he went. Who watched volleyball everyday. 80s ball, Karch. Watched Bruce Lee and every inspirational come-up movie. I was the kid who was playing any chance he could get, trying to get better everyday. I wanted to be the best I could be, a volleyball master. And when it became hard, I reminded myself of why I started in the first place and I persisted. Now I've added to the vision and have a family that I want to build a loving life with. I want to help people discover their passions and shape their life around it. I want to help athletes learn and be the best they can be. It can be easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and forget what the purpose of everything is. Remembering why you started everyday, what or who it was all for, can help you decide the best next action that aligns with what you want.
My hope is that this reminder can help you discover more about what you want in life, the person you want to be, what you want to accomplish and why. I also hope that it can help you use this knowledge as a guide for your actions and help you get back up and keep moving forward, bit by bit.
Keep going - Jade
