A Long Time, However

It is just in me to share that, ‘sometimes it feels like your dream is never going to come true.’ Please keep feeling and believing and trusting the Universe.
I just purchased a one way ticket to Japan today to live a dream of teaching English as a Second Language. This came to my mind over 15 years ago while I was sitting in an English 101 class during my freshman year of college in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I was reading an essay entitled ‘Salary Man’. It was about the drive and desire of Japanese salarymen to do there absolute best job they can do everyday of their lives. While reading this essay, a desire so strong and so real grew in me and has never left.
Since that day there has been the loss of both of my parents, several heartaches, dis-illusionments, torrential storms, self-doubt, complete loss of hope, irritability, tears (and lots of them), hurt (and lots of it).
HOWEVER, through it ALL the Universe, I said, ‘The UNIVERSE’, never, never held it back from me and literally allowed it to manifest this morning.
I feel tired, I feel exhausted from believing until it seemed there was nothing left in me except belief.
This was and is enough though.
Believe
