Are You Living The Life You Want?

Yesterday I was watching a familiar TV talk show. It played a clip from a past interview done by Oprah Winfrey. The question Oprah asked was "Are you living the life you want."

Immediately I stopped dead in my tracks. My interior voice began to scream out at me inside my head. As Oprah was declaring "Yes, Yes" she was living the life she want, I was screaming "No, No" I'm not living the life I want.

This question made me reevaluate my life and the things I do on an everyday basis. Are these things getting me closer to the life I want to live? Are these things getting me farther away from the life I want to live?

I feel like I'm closer than I was yesterday, but then I think about how long I've been trying to make my dreams reality. I think about the tedious hours spent reading, researching, sitting in online seminars educating myself on the necessary tools and trades to get my vision off the ground.

I think about how I have spoke great words of faith that I can have what I say, because God declared that I could according to Mark 11:23. I wrote the book, made the T-shirt, literally, and yet I get discouraged because it's taking so long to manifest. While my maternal clock is constantly ticking, I know age is nothing but a number to God.

I've gotten off course, made plenty of mistakes which have set me back a few steps, even a few years I think, but I'm afraid to give up and quit now. What if my vision is one day away from bursting forth?

So there you have it. No, I am not living the life I want--yet, but eventually I will.
