I learned a long time ago that what you say is what you are, so at the risk of being considered conceited or arrogant, I decided to say, I am a winner, I can do all things through God…I will embrace and work in what I have been blessed with…from the time of being a young girl and hearing, YOU ARE SMART…I decided to embrace that,
I heard other things like pretty..yada yada…but I decided that I would embrace that thing that took me where I was intended to go and pretty fades…
As I look around at the people in my life, to a one I can see they have become who they say they are…those who get up in the morning and thank God for their very existence and say, ‘No matter what the day brings and even if I get down, I will not count myself out…’ are doing it…I am in no way saying that I or them don’t sometimes get tired or overwhelmed, oh heck to the yes we do…but the difference is that we know we have to get through it to get to it…
We also know that those who say they can’t do a thing, can’t, not because they aren’t capable but because they are saying they can’t and have talked themselves into a thing…
Talking to a young person a few months ago, who consistently said, “I cant find a job, the economy is bad, there are not jobs out there…blah blah blah…” still not working of course…
On the other hand talked to a couple others who knew how bad it was, but got out there every day, hustle, hustle, hustle…and had days when they was ready to say, forget this, but they didn’t speak it, they dusted themselves off and got back to it…working, of course…
There are those who are saying, I cannot do this, I cannot do that…and they aren’t…
Then there are the hard-heads, who say, Oh yes I can, even when others are saying, ‘Chile please you cant do that…’ No one wants to read that, hear that, wear that…please sit yo self down,…’ haha they doing it cause they knew they could and also knew that most lasting things don’t happen overnight, or even over year in some cases…because they know all they must provide is faith and work and realization that God works in his time, not ours…
So, all I am saying is this, if you say you cannot, you cannot, HOW-SEN-EVER, if you say you CAN, YOU CAN AND YOU WILL…
BE THE PEACE YOU SEEK~
