This season feels more intentional - Summer of 2026.
I guess every season is intentional to me, but this Summer feels like a transformative one. I feel like I am becoming exactly who I am destined to be. The work doesn't stop, and the effort doesn't get easier either. Somewhere between then and now, I accept that surrendering is necessary in order to reach my fullest potential.
The moment that I make this journey about anyone else, I fail them as well as myself. I am my responsibility. The life that I desire is MY responsibility. I cannot plan every detail because I cannot control all of the variables. I have finally learned that surrendering is not giving up; it is simply accepting the things that I cannot control while properly managing the aspects of life that I can control.
This came with accepting that I am the only variable that I can control. I can control my mind, I can control my body, and even those things are subject to change if life sees fit to change that.
Knowing this has brought me to surrender, acceptance, and being appreciative for all that I am able to do now. I am grateful for all that I have NOW.
Prayerfully, there is a tomorrow for me, but if there isn't, I appreciate what I have right now. This moment is the only moment that matters, and if I am blessed with the next second, minute, hour, day, week, month, or year - I pray that I use the time wisely.
Nothing is better than what I have right now, and if it is, I surrender to that experience.
