An Answered Prayer

It was a goal that I've formulated and an aspiration that directed my career choices.
It was an aim I thought I can attain by myself through studying well and getting all the qualifications necessary for it to happen.
I thrived and I survived the demands of the profession to gain respect and recognition.
I could have always slacked, but I chose to be active and assertive.
I tried to become good at what I do and to always get the job well done.
I took every step to get there, but somehow, it just didn't happened.
I waited actively.
At the end of the day, it boiled down to one subject.
It was always about me.

I got deceived that I can do anything on my own.
I felt that when I get to perform, when I get to take control, and that when I get to command what I want to have in life, I can finally get it, the way I want it.
But it really doesn't happen that way.
We have to realize that there's a higher being. The One that gets to take control and the One who orchestrates everything.
It is only by His power and will that all things can come to pass.
Not by our own strength and our own liking.
When I started relying on Him and not on my own, everything turned around.
As I patiently trusted, the answer was on its way.

Now, living the dream, there are even more challenges.
Nonetheless, I can get to grasp on the fact that God has always been good and faithful.
Even if conflicts may arise, I'll definitely know, that everyday is an answered prayer.
Every breath can be a realization that I am blessed.
