"Change comes from within. I shed daily of the old me in order to produce a newer and improved "Che"Neka. I'm Not changing because I don't like who I am..I Change in order to grow. Growth comes from the lessons of life. As we pass each lesson, its not about being number 1, its about knowing we went in head first and accomplished what was set before us.. COMPLETION!!"
Some of us change in order to be a better mate, some of us change in order to be a better Lover.. I went through my CHANGE in order to be a better me. I woke up one day and I was extremely MISERABLE. I wasn't happy in my life. And I now realize, I didn't bring on the change, GOD was tired of me NOT living to my fullest capacity. He was tired of me just settling. What happens when things settle? They just fall and land where they may. I had fallen one to many times and it was time for me to stand on my own. It was time for me to leave my clutch( Boston, Ma) and experience life. I had questioned God many times asking him why such and such was happeningthe way it was, and in the Stillness my heart was comforted with, its time to SPREAD my wings. It's time to walk in my element and be all I was born to be!
Was it a hard transition? YES harder than you'll ever know. Was it worth it? YES in more ways than one. Not only did I find who I really am, but this journey has bought me to places and people I could've and would've never met if I stayed close minded!
A change doesn't always mean you're doing something wrong. A change ( to me) is God's way of saying" Come up just a little bit higher... Come up and soar with with, Come up and live the way I want ALL of my children to live".
Why keep settling for pennies, when there are dimes lying all around you? Why settle for that dog that has laid with numerous flies, when I have a Prince( wink), in the waiting? Your story may not be mine and vs verse, BUT we all have a story. We all have events that have transpired that have led us to believe if we think it we can obtain it.
Not only did I want better for me, BUT I'm my daughter's first teacher. And, if I'm not happy, that same funk was going to trinkle down to her. And its funny, when we go thru and suffer as do our children. My daughter woke up each day, but in her little mind she had worries too. My inspiration is HER..She inspires me to chase my dreams, she inspires me to be a better mom! What I produce will always be figments in her mind, so why NOT produce the Best Always? My life is an example to her that Even tohugh we're not a complete family(YET)..mommy loved her enough to leave the familiar and go after change.
In order for me to give and be all I can for her, I had to drop somethings that were NOT good for either of us...And once I made up in my mind that I'm going to do it the right way, even if it kills me, that's when the Peace, Love, Motivation and Strength filled my heart and finally, my wings were ready to spread.
Let your life's past stay where it is, BUT let it be a lesson LEARNED. Take on Every fear and Every obstacle with an I can do it Attitude..
I'm Inspired to Change, as you are too! We can all Be Better but it starts within.
Be Encouraged,
be Inspired!
I definitely wrote from the heart today..This is an emotional week for me..This is the week Arron and I initially visited Atlanta and I feel in Love. I knew this is where I needed to be. Not for him or Us for that matter but for ME & My child!
ReplyDeleteI thank God everyday for putting him in my Path. I tried to make my dream his, but that wasn't God's plan..He had to get me alone and where I am for me to grow...Now, if God could just work on my patience, I'd be okay!! LOL
Thank-You Mr.Mason!
Power of the Mind"
ReplyDeleteThis is great writing Neka. Your transition is a milestone and it sounds, or reads, like there was a lot of thought put into moving. It's good to hear your decision is paying off.
Throughout life I was never taught the power of the mind and how to use it, but when I figured it out, the possibilities became endless. I use to find power in materialistic commodities, relationships (not always positive), and television. Today I learn how to use what is already inside me. The best part is, it’s free! For instance, I have been going to school and figured out that I could read the text book on my own and have the same knowledge as if I went to class. Is this power? Is the mind a powerful computer that can be programmed to do anything? Yes.
Power is the ability to perform effectively. To perform effectively I have to focus. If the mind is being pulled in many directions, then the focus will not be strong. You were obviously not happy in Boston and took the steps to leave. That is a big step. Is your power stronger? Is your focus better? Hmmmm.
I was once taught, “Proper planning makes for perfect performance (P.P.P.P.).” I don’t remember where I learned it but it stuck with me. Anyways, we were taught to tell ourselves “we could do it” and it would happen, even when the task seemed undoable. The explanation was, “If the mind tells the body to do something, it will do it, but if the mind says it can’t do it, it won’t.” Simple.
Our power is within us at no charge. You are in a new place now and your energies are operating at its better potential. Congratulations!
