Stuck?

Today I got news of a failure (assessment of some sort) I've been trying to overcome for over a year. Its like no matter how many times I try to succeed, I continue to fail. 

Then today, I felt like my world came crashing down again. If you know me, you will know I am literally my worst critic. Sometimes I play it off like I am in fear of my sister's reaction, but in the end of the day. I am the one who will continue to judge myself. 

After feeling miserable, my sister sent me a blog post (Seth's Blog) called Stuck?

Stuck?

It might not be because you can't find the right answer.

It's almost certainly because you're asking the wrong question.

The more aggressively you redefine the problem, the more likely it is you're going to solve it.

The most successful people I know got that way by ignoring the race to find the elusive, there's-only-one-and-no-one-has-found-it right answer and instead had the guts to look at the infinite landscape of choices and pick a better problem instead.

After I found out that I failed again, all I could think about was how could I do this again? What am I doing wrong? What is wrong with me? 

It hit me. I was always asking the wrong question. The answer was right in front of me. The question was simple. What are you living for now?

If you looked at my life 10 years ago, you would have easily said this girl knows the truth. She knows something the world doesn't know. She holds the secret to a satisfied life. 

Slowly with each experience, my faith never changed. I still till this day believe and know that the truth, the way, and the light is Jesus. I know that I can't live without him. What's changed is my heart. Its like my relationship changed from longing to live for his Glory and replaced with mine own desires. 

The solution is simply, about face. Turning away from my desires and turning towards God. Focus on what matters. Trust God to do what he does best and everything else will be follow.
