Does pain come with passion....?
Passion is described as "strong and barely controllable emotion". I am a person who always follows my passion, my heart, my instincts, and at times it has turned out great, and exactly how I anticipated, the other times very terrible, leading to horrifying pain. When this pain arrives I do not know how to react, I will pretend and try to act as if everything is okay, because in my mind I am a positive person, think positive get positive, right? But what happens when you do all that and the outcome is still not what you expected.....Throughout my life and football career I have experienced this pain with my passion, and it always comes at the worst time, but truly the best time, its a funny thing to explain. I have suffered a few minor setbacks in my career right when I got the feeling everything was about to take off, right when I got the feeling that I was on the rise to finding my "zone" my element of dominance. The lesson I have gained from this is that, these pains that come with my passion are there to humble me and remind me of my faith, and the power of God and the universe, it allows me to turn to prayer, to be more aware of the situation, to mentally and physically try to find a solution, it allows me to remember why I began this mission in life, and not to get caught up in the future or end result of what I want, to take one step at a time, the pain always brings clarity, I must let go. But, the pain does not last forever. The pain comes, brings the lessons that we are suppose to learn, and then disappears. The passion on the other hand still remains, always burning like a fire, the more gasoline you pour on it the brighter the flames, but if you do not watch it and nurture it, it fades away. "When pursuing a passion accept the pain, learn from the pain, do not give it the power to out-shadow the passion, the pain will subside, keep the passion flames blazing." - AJ Gray

The Middle, The Mud.
I have't written a blog in awhile, so here it is.
I have been thinking about this journey of mine that I am travelling in life. After speaking with a good friend, and with a specific female I used to date, and share a deep soul connection with, the topic of our "visions" came up. We spoke about what we saw for each other, and for ourselves individually, so both relationship goals, and personal goals, I noticed something very vague about the discussion, something that struck my mind instantly. I noticed that, when I planted the ideas in my mind about what I wanted to accomplish in life, I was only shown a projection of what the beginning would look like & feel like, and also what I wanted the end result to look & feel like, then off of this vision I began trying to manifest my idea. The funniest thing about my visions/goals, were that I never had an idea of what the middle would be like. I never knew what I had to go through and endure in order to get to where I wanted, this applied to my football journey and relationships, the beginning was always sweet, and my foreseen end was even sweeter, but that middle section is where the trials and tribulations came about, where the confusion came about, where the mistakes came about, where the pain/heartbreak came about, where the tears came about, but I realized the middle was the unseen blessing. Without the lessons learned in the middle of our journey, we wouldn't be where we are today. God is good. To conclude, my message is this; No matter what you are going through in life, remember that it will come to pass, we all experience both sides of an experience, the good & the bad, get through the middle and the sun will be shining on the other side. God Bless!!
