~ 2 Corinthians 3:18
Tonight while doing the dishes I got a chance to listen to one of my favorite motivational speaker. She named her talk, "Glory To Glory". She explained that life is not a pattern of success following by failure. It's not taking one step forward and two steps back. None of that is true. It's about living every single day, in every situation with the mind set that everything is a glory.
In 2012, I started First Position.... Glory.
I started with 22 students, in my first season as a dance company....Glory.
Three months into starting, the place we were having practices had to do some remodeling and asked us to leave... Glory.
One month after that, 4 students dropped out...Glory.
September of 2013, we started a new season at First Position and we doubled in students...Glory!
I've learned through this business that I can look at things as failure and successes or I can embrace God's glory in my life..and see that this too will make me who I am to be in the future.
Ever had your heart broken by someone you loved? Glory.
Have you ever gotten that promotion at work? Glory.
That time you got a flat tire, or ran out of gas? Or your car wouldn't start? Glory.
Have you ever had to say goodbye to someone, but knew they were going to a better place? Glory!
Have you ever been rejected by someone? Glory.
Glory to Glory to Glory to GLORY!
In life, there are no mountain top and valley experiences. There are no tug of war between success and failure. Our life is a beautiful sequence of glory to glory. It takes time to see, all those things you look at as failures...they aren't you. You are not a failure, don't you see? It's just glory to glory. Success and failure are not an exclamation points. They are not who you are. It's about how you evaluate the things, when they go wrong. How am I going to evaluate this? Am I going to laugh at this? Am I going to be sad at this? Am I going to choose to have this glory mentality?
