Keep Moving

Keep moving, the sky shouldn't be your limit

Friend, I hope you are well today and before I forget... Happy New Year!

I'm fine, and I just want to share with you something for this new year...

Whatever you began last year or are planning to begin, keep doing it. Move forward. Keep moving, keep going.
No matter how small the difference is between where you were yesterday (or last year) and where you are right now, keep moving.
No matter the increase in the number of obstacles you face, keep moving. Keep going.
You can't afford to be a useless stone: one without breath, without use, without life and without progress.
You can't afford to be in the same place being pitied upon and being used as a mud scrapper. You gotta move.
But if you choose to be a stone, be that good stone, be the useful stone: the one they use to build upon the foundation that is Christ. Be that stone that grinds wheat into flour, that one that every ship anchor seeks for.
Be the useful good stone.

Friend, most of us will tell you that you haven't made quite a change, that you have two pairs of legs: one pair that that moves you forward and another that moves you backwards. 
Ignore us.
Most of us think we know who or what you are. We may remind you of your shortcomings, your upbringing and your limitations.
We may do so verbally or non-verbally, actively or passively. 
We may omit you in groups of "forward-seeing people" or group you together with "losers".
We may ridicule, heckle, yell and tell you that all you are doing is to no good.
But keep moving. Ignore us, don't listen to us, and keep moving. 
If you are convinced that what you are today isn't what you were yesterday, and that what you will be tomorrow is excellent, keep moving.
We ain't your God and we are not your goals. You shouldn't please all of us. We are not God, so keep moving. 
You should worry more about whether God is on your side or not; not us.

By the way, friend, you only need two people in your fan base: God and you.
If there be a third one, let it be; if not, keep moving. Ain't nobody got time for negative energy.
Please don't listen to us most of the time - we who pretend to support you yet disappear when you need us most or speak nonsense behind your back. Don't. 
Listen to your God, listen to your goals and vision, then maybe listen to us when we agree with these two. If not, stop listening to us.
We are bad influence. We are bad influence because we think we know who you are and where you are headed. We don't.
We think you're like us. You're not. Whenever you realize that we think you are like us, don't listen to us. You'll lose it.

Friend, lastly, let me tell you this... 
If you wanna go to the studio and record a song this year, go. Don't give a damn what we gotta say if God says it's a great idea. Go!
But do so with humility.
If you wanna write a book, start a mentorship program, open a blog, start a business, build a home, start a family, go back to school, move from where you are to another town, start a side hustle, reapply for a job, start a school, get into a relationship, drop a habit, drop a friend or friends, join ministry, start a project, propose to your girl and God says He's got your back, go!
You're unstoppable if God is on your side. 
The sky shouldn't be your limit, the sky is your lauchboard. So, go!
And, friend, if there'll come a time along the way when you doubt yourself, look to God, put your hope in Him, lean on His promises, scoff at the devil, look right ahead... and keep moving. 
You can do this. 

Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. (Psalm 105:4)
