Not right now!

Do you feel like giving up? Do you feel that there are many obstacles already and that you've been crying a lot? Do you like how you feel every single day you wake up and just wish everything will be dull around you like your heart so you can at least be sure that's nothing is working?
         But just like the way you see that every morning, there has to be light from somewhere, you have to believe that you have a bright future. You have to believe that where you are right now is not where you will be in the next 10 years. Is it so hard to believe? I choose to answer my own question. I know it is! I really need you to start believing in yourself. Believe in what you say, what you do. I want you to be so sure that you are a great person going somewhere to happen. But this would not happen until you let some things go. The fear of not being wanted by anyone. You might think that no one recognizes you or that who cares? Do you know that someone, somewhere thinks about you? Someone likes something about you! Someone can't wait to see you. It really doesn't matter if it seems that way or not but you are special.
Get the fear of what people think out of your mind. What they think is not what or who you are. What you are is who you allow yourself to be. Do you allow yourself to be too emotional that people get to you easily, do you allow yourself to remain low- esteemed? I think it is time for someone to start believing, to start trusting. Because you are worth more than precious stones. Now is not the time to doubt or be downcast. No! Not right now.

I do!

Hey everyone. I want to introduce you to someone. Chidi Ashimole a.k.a Lex Ash. Extremely God- fearing, Great photographer and an awesome writer. He inspires me and I want to share one of his writings with you. Enjoy!

I speak with from a heart that's bleeding
bleeding from a soul that's weeping
Weeping from eyes that only see beauty
Beauty that you are, you portray, that is you

You've been through a lot. I know
know how much you wish they had listened
listened to your true tales of woe
woe to them now that hurt you then
Then when you were young, and fragile
fragile in body, heart and soul
soul, now hurt from the pains that was meted on you
you probably saw no hope around all that

That is why God sent me at this time
Time when my heart has clung to yours
yours ever so previously wounded and torn
torn but to be mended once more
More than you've ever known before
Before now, love unlike never before shown
Shown in the way I now do
do to you unlike it's never been before Done
Done i will never be with these words
Words i will forever so feel
Feel a love that has been so Heavenly wrought
Wrought by Holy Hands, same as this form
Form that is you, ever so beautiful
Beautiful beyond words that even speak I
I do hope that you never ever tire
Tire from the words, I do Love you

Be Inspired.

I shared something with my Mentor yesterday and he made me value my relationship with him more. This is what he told me and I just wanted to share it with you. So,.........

There is a popular inspirational story of a cow that was thrown in a deep pit. People threw dirt and all sorts of rubbish on the cow. Instead of lamenting and feeling distraught, or useless, the cow made the determination to see each dirt and rubbish as an opportunity to be supported and raised upwards little by little. So it always shook off the dirt and this became a stepping up platform. This continued for a while and gradually, little by little, after a long while, the cow was raised up to a level where it was able to get out of the pit by itself.

The morale of this story is that people will throw a lot of rubbish at us, obviously designed to make us feel worthless and miserable, even up to the point of giving up on life. However, we can decide to use these dirt and rubbish as opportunities rather than threats. Keep in mind that the way we feel is a decision that we have in our hands. Every day that we are alive to see gives us two opportunities. We can either decide from the moment we get up from the bed that day whether we are going to be happy or take the only other alternative which is to feel miserable. The choice is ours. This reminds me of what a colleague told me recently. She said that she always carries her happiness with her and doesn’t leave it in the hands of others. That’s a very useful thought. So if we allow what people say, or their attitudes to discourage us, we certainly give off ourselves to them and those people take over and become the remote control of our lives. Each time we see them or hear their ridicule, they figuratively press a remote control button that sets us ablaze internally. Is that what you really want? I am sure not. 

I am sure this is for someone reading this. I think its for you!

                                                                                                         

Best Seller!

Everybody in life has a story to tell. Everyone wants to be heard everywhere. What you should do is make yours the best seller. What makes your own story a best seller? The things you do differently, the things you say differently either to yourself or to people around you. The people you love. The people you try to love. The way you keep being strong in life's toughest situations, the way you keep smiling to the toughest people. The way you love and treat your family, the way you love your God. Yes, he is your God. He belongs to you. The way your heart's beauty is, beyond words, that is. The way you keep all hurt and pain behind you no matter what or who it is from. The way you change the World by who you are and who your past circumstances have helped you to be. The way you never blame God for anything that has happened to you or will ever happen but trust Him and promise yourself that it is all part of God's great plan for your life. The way you say to yourself "Yes, I went through this but I know God still has my back". Shalom!

The Dreamer's World!

                Many of us are afraid to dream. We are scared of letting our mind wander and picture the things we want to see, the things we want in life. Even though we finally let ourselves dream, we toss them off immediately cos we sat "it can't happen". But whether we like it or not, we have a mind that naturally wants to go beyond the now. Our minds want to see all things as beautiful even in the toughest times. And what we do is stop our minds, keep them from dreaming. 

                Your dream is anything you hope for, long for or you are ambitious for. You are not meant to bother yourself whether your dream is attainable or not. Just dream. Look beyond your present hurt, pain or tears. Look into your future that is so promising and so great.

                Any dream I have is my world and then anything I want to have, I see them in the eyes of my many ‘worlds’. I feel that once you have seen it happen in your world, then it will happen. This is not limited however to only the Positive.  It applies to the Negative also. Do not see yourself in an unpleasant situation but see yourself always winning. See yourself always at the top, see yourself getting your dream girl, (Laughs). 

                Your dream is your world. Your presently unattainable world. That doesn't mean is ever going to remain that way. You are preparing yourself for when you are going to be living large.....

Look the other way!

If you know how special you are, you will probably not be feeling the way you are right now. You keep asking yourself countless times, "why me?", "why can't this just be different?" The amount of tears you've cried, yet no change. You thought you had friends, people to lean on in times of need and now, they are nowhere to be found.
          Get tired of people trying to tell you who you are which they do not know. It's time for you to look the other way. Not at the criticisms or the many disappointing statements but at who you really are which is strong. You have felt rejected, cast down and hurt a thousand times, and you can still smile. Yet, they say you are not strong, put it to them that you are stronger. You are precious!
          You are precious because your past isn't your present. you are precious because each time you fall, you rise up. You are precious because you are loved unconditionally by your maker. After all these roll over, you are coming out better, stronger and wiser. When you story is heard, all they can see is the ability to move on. The courage you had, the love you walked with and  worked for. All they can see is the unique and and wonderful you.
The next time people hurt, do not choose pain, rejection, sorrow or depression from the bag of emotions  handed over to you. Choose courage and a lot of smiles so when they roll over, you'll still look good. Instead of looking at the situation, choose to look the other way.
