Thoughts

Overwhelmed!

This road that I’ve been on towards my Christmas legacy has been so tough. So so so tough. I’ve been pushed and pulled in so many different directions this year, that at times I’ve felt more than stretched thin. I’ve had more than my share in heartache and joy this year.

Sometimes I work so hard that I really forget what it is I’m working for. It’s hard to see the forest from the trees sometimes.

Then it takes something like this to remember.

To have a dream is probably one of the most beautiful things about living. To actually try and live your dream with reckless abandon can sometimes look more like a nightmare. There are days where I’ve asked myself, “What did I do? Why am I doing this?” It’s usually during the times where I’m learning something new and difficult, and whether I know it or not, I’m about to embark on a breakthrough.

Sometimes when you struggle with the things you don’t understand – life forces you to recalibrate and refocus.

For me, it was hearing and reading this playlist. To be amongst some of the best Christmas records that I look up to, is where all the strife and difficult days suddenly make so much sense.

So close, but so far. I can taste it though. It will take me many years. This journey is beautiful.
