Gatekeeper

We all come face to face with the ‘Gatekeeper’. The guardian of all that is worth possessing, acquiring and concurring. He’s your defining moment. He’s the reason you either go home or push forward. He’s where your story ends or begins.

What’s interesting about the things in life worth having is that they're never easy to obtain. The universe has a way of making sure you really want those things you say you want. But what we sometimes fail to see, is that it’s not until the wheels hit the road that the truth materializes. There’s a cost for everything. You don’t get day without night or courage without fear or bliss without pain. The road to every kingdom travels through hostile territory and the harder you pull back that arrow, the more power it contains as it leaps forward. Resistance in life is not a detriment; they help separate those who are willing to work hard and endure difficulties from those who aren’t.

You can have all the world if you give all of yourself. The question is, when the Gatekeeper approaches and its decision time, what’s your move? We are a product of the pain we endure, the sacrifices we make, the struggles we overcome. We shouldn’t complicate that which is simple. It’s not the universe, but your mind that need convincing. Because once that flood gate opens, water is walkable. Walls are climbable. Once you empower yourself, the status quo is left powerless with no option but to watch you persevere. It’s not during the easy times but in the mist of your journey, the heart of your race, when you want to pack your bags and call it a day, that that Gatekeeper stands before you with hand extended whispering that you want it but maybe not that bad. And it’s in that exact moment that you dig deep, look him in the eye and show that there’s was never a doubt.

ONLY BELIEF.

And no matter what awaits, you will endure, you will break through.

Because Gatekeeper or not, that’s who you are…
