I didn't think it would be today - 16.0

I woke up Wednesday morning after a rough night in pain. The crash the day before was the worst I've had in probably 8 years. My head was throbbing and would barely lift off the pillow. Training was difficult, the first double I did it felt like my head was gonna fall off. We modified the workout and I went and cross trained after. Thursday I was able to do doubles one at a time to the mat. Because of the impact from Tuesday by Thursday night my arms would barely lift, my chest felt tight, my neck still sore and all the muscles on the front of my neck still feel bruised.
Today, besides the pain, I felt good. My legs were sore from cross training but they felt strong. I dug in deep today, had a few good turns and decided I was gonna fight for the hardest routine I had ever attempted. Three attempts, on the third one, I started too far forward, was off and fighting some distractions. I was in trouble, off balance - “keep going!”... I knew if I pushed I could make it through. The last half I had to fight really hard to keep my legs straight to keep my dd up. Barely held on..... Success... Wait, what?? SUCCESS!!!!!
I believe that God made each one of us for a specific purpose. The purpose of today may not be the same purpose as tomorrow. But I believe the passions of today are to guide us in the direction we should run with our whole heart. I don't know God's plan for me tomorrow, but today He's given me my wildest dream. A dream I’ve held onto for the last 6 years. A dream that felt like a sick joke most days. It was a ridiculous desire.
I thank God my job is not to do every job this world needs. My job is to run with abandon the specific race He has set for me to run. A race chasing my God given passions.
The passions God has placed in you, voraciously hunt for them. HUNT THEM DOWN. Search for them until you find them. 100 real reasons stood in my way, each one hurled aside in pursuit of today. I structured my life differently to allow for me to reach my dream. Today did not happen by accident. Nor was today a "perfect" day to go for it. I don't think there is a more perfect day than today to take the one next step towards your dream. Most days, that's all you need to know.
Now go,
do,
now.

"I believe that God made each one of us for a specific purpose."
Not exactly cool to say when 9 million children die before the age of 5 each year. God apparently especially hates African children. Maybe that was the concussion talking. Lovely tramping as always.

God doesn't African kids. Or it's just a irony?
