Change is a scary thing, and it is safe to say from the start of your freshman year of college and several years forward, finding a new normal is almost impossible. You move… a lot, there are many friends you’ll have that will come and go within a few months, and you will never have a consistent schedule. You will begin to feel like your life will never be together and wonder why you feel like you are losing control of your it.

Around this age there are so many “what ifs” and “I don’t knows” but not knowing is okay. The unknown might drive you to find more success and make you push yourself even more than you would have thought. When you push yourself further more opportunities open up for you. It will be amazing and overwhelming, you might not think it is possible to get through the day by completing every task on your to-do list.

You might begin to wonder if a life this crazy is meant for you. You’ll think a simple life and just settling for a job you have no desire to do will be enough. You might want to quit that organization or job you’ve put so much heart and energy into because you think it is pointless.

Let me tell you this… stop thinking about the unknown and focus on what is bettering you right now! If you work hard and continue the drive you have at this time, it will all be worth it in the future. Little do you know… this is only happening because you are creating an amazing life for yourself.

Stop being afraid of hard work and dedication. Get over the fact that you might have to sacrifice a weekend socializing with friends to go to your job or work on that final project. Stop thinking that everything you have going on is a burden, you should feel blessed to be able to have so many great opportunities and experiences. Everything you do right now, will better you for later.

God has a purpose for every single thing happening in your life. You might not think you have control over what is happening, but I can promise you He does. Enjoy this crazy unpredictable life for yourself and create a drive that will make people be in awe of all you are doing. Be a person better that what you’ve dreamt of being.
