When I look into my future and try to visualize what I want to be I see big things. I can’t help it, I just know I was created to be successful.
It gets hard because my current situation is in a constant fight against that which I wish to accomplish. But, I won’t settle.
I know it will be difficult, I know there will be mountains to climb, rivers to cross and storms to weather, but at the end I know I will stand strong.
That is one of the reasons I left Puerto Rico, I love my family, my island, my friends there but my vision fit even less there than it fits here at this moment. I felt like a big fish in a small pond. I know that if someone really wants to succeed, location is secondary, we can achieve success anywhere if we are willing to work for it. But I knew as I know now that my move was necessary. Here, with what I’ve lived so far I feel closer to what I am meant to be doing.
I don’t know exactly what I will be doing in, say, 5 years. But if I haven’t achieved success by then, believe me I will still be fighting for it. I may not know exactly what it will look like, but I’m fairly sure what it will not look like, and that I will avoid.
So, here I tell you, you have been created for something more than the ordinary, you do not have to live day by day just with the crumbs from yesterday. If we fight hard, and stand our ground in the midst of troubles, we will success, we will enjoy it and and the end of the day, we will smile and say: It was worth it.

“So, here I tell you, you have been created for something more than the ordinary, you do not have to live day by day just with the crumbs from yesterday.” This quote from your blog reminded me yet again about a book I once read years ago called “Forever Ruined for the Ordinary” by Joy Dawson… Great post!
I've heard of that book, I actually think they may have it here where I work. Gonna try to find it.
Cool… when you read it let me know what you think!
Very awesome. Way to strive for what you were created for!

I had to do the same thing – moved 2500km away from my entire family 7 years ago to live in Sydney. From a town of 12000 to a city of 5 million. Massive trust exercise – it’s been incredibly hard at times, but I know that I’m here because it’s where God wants me to be.
I’d hate to thing who I’d be now if I’d stayed.
Yeah, when I think of what I would be doing if I hadn’t moved to Dallas I just get so grateful that I moved.
