Something unique happens when we become brave enough to face every obstacle, no matter how far we jump.  The race starts slowly at first.  Until the gust of oxygen carries us far.  Soon we speed up with wisdom, discretion, and grace.  We move along quickly and have the timing needed to win.  Except opponents begin to crowd us at our heels.  Now it’s at this point; we can quit or move forward with even more effort.  The choice is sweet because destiny says, “Come on, you can do it.”  So the decision has been made in a flash.  All that’s left to do is dare another super hurdle!

When we become strong, nothing stops us, and we quickly move on.  The going is the easy part.  Maintaining the momentum started is a little more challenging, but that, too, can be done.  Taking in a deep breath is sometimes needed at this point.  Exhale and give the lungs time to adjust and take in the new surroundings of modest advancement.

Leveling up or becoming successful is a goal of the masses.  What separates those who do from those who don’t (become successful) is patience and determination.  Then knowing when to use which one, of course, is helpful.  Don’t forget your good judgment because that may be the critical factor that sets you apart.
