Embrace the Horizon

Embrace = to intake/invite with open arms.

Horizon = that above/beyond your current view of sight.

On April 6, 2020, I boarded a plane leaving Indianapolis, Indiana headed to Seattle, Washington filled with so much uncertainty about my future. Not only was the very beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic where the world was in a state of fear and panic, I was contemplating major decisions about my life. Will this job offering really go through or did I make a mistake with leaving a secure company. Is Seattle the place that I want to live and can it fulfill the desires that I have right now, should I rent or buy, what truly makes me happy, am I walking in purpose are questions that I asked myself as I sat in row 8 seat ‘A’ staring out the window. Lost in my thoughts, I couldn’t help but take in the majestic view. As I stared becoming one with the clouds, I heard a soft voice say “Embrace the Horizon”.

I was immediately immersed into a state peace, a peace that surpassed my understanding. With a large exhale I took the first step to embrace, opening my heart and mind to the ‘unknown’ (and that which comes along with it) associated with my future. One of the things that I’ve learned about life is that the ‘unknown’ is inevitable, there are moments every day for everybody where we don’t know what the future hold. When you embrace the ‘unknown’ you release yourself from the stress, fear, and anxiety associated with it and give yourself permission to see the Horizon. ‘The Horizon’ is symbolic to your dreams and aspirations. More specifically the dreams and aspirations that you haven’t dreamed yet!

When we dream, we’ve taken the first step in being equipped to create a ‘plan’ that lays out a series of goals/milestones that will help us obtain our audacious dreams.

‘Embrace your new horizon’ today. Don’t let fear of the unknown keep you from becoming the best version of yourself and obtaining purpose.
