Winner's circle

Yeah!!!! I finished the race. It was a sprint that made me feel like I could win the marathon. I was overcome with joy as I acknowledge that I was the best in the 'mother's race'. I am not a mom but that joy filtered to every soul siting in the stadium which was almost empty....

Now, that race seems so unless once I analyse it, then moved forward in my mind's eye to remember that I had been evaluated by judges that I would refer to as people that could be friends to my elderly folks. My moment seems even smaller yet I wanted to be a winner....

Don't we all like to be winners, sometimes we aim to achieve even when we know we do not deserve to be ranked with the others in the category of life. Be any situation, our natural instinct is to be winners at whatever cost, getting to where we want to be does not necessarily make us winners but it is how we get there, the people that we were challenged against and how we made friends or enemies. I would gladly hand over my little silver trophy if I hurt someone's feeling or not receive remuneration for causing damage to others.

The fun and the 'mother's race' ended yet I do not feel like a winner since I am not a mother. However, the judges pointed out that it was a fun day and they needed more that three women to compete and that crushed me further as I was not intended to be apart of the race. Still, I won and being a winner was my victory yesterday. Tomorrow brings new challenges with different rules but yesterday I was apart of the winner's circle and I enjoyed every moment.

All in all it was a good day and I felt like the winner I believe I am. How do you feel????
Are you apart of the winner's circle?????

Believe you deserve to be a winner!

Believe It!!!!!

Victory

Rolled up, like a pin cushion of pain with little resolve to go on....The pain intensifies yet I want to do the best I can. I can because I believe it-no matter the circumstances.....However, I was not willing to give in to the pain even though it is unbearable at times.

The most amazing thing throughout my progress is the reaction I receive. I think I can do anything, believe I am an intelligent woman with drive that will take me to new heights. My impression of myself is always second guessed by people that do not know me or have any intention to get to know me.......The response I get is......, always that I am not intelligent enough, not half as good as people that are well.....It is a sad reality.....Equality seems to have died.

Living in a world with inequalities. There is definite distinctions which we are unable to escape whether we are ill, disadvantaged, rich, black, white or have a different religious or political inclination. There is no real straight road but there are always crossroads with many choices,,,,,sometimes the choices are negated with no substance but leaves pain and selfishness.

As I may be looked down upon because of my unfortunate medical situation, I will not trade it for the person I dreamed I would be because the person I am today is someone I would want to be friends with and certainly be proud of.

With the help of my Maker, I will continue to soar to the victory because I believe I can...

You too can overcome any situation!

Believe IT!!!!!

Blue Bird


The air was clean, there was a gentle breeze, the sky was beautiful.....I admired the beauty of the day and even smiled at a stranger across the street.

Suddenly.........., I heard a flutter........, squeaking noises........., I looked up towards the sound and to my surprise there was a bird in distress. I tried to assist but the poor bird was out of my reach, it was out of my space and I felt like I was incapable of helping the wounded bird.
Then, I saw it was gone......., I hoped and earnestly prayed that it will be saved. An hour later she was back and I was able to help her until she was free to go on her way. She seemed so thankful and happy.

Then, I went back to my life and carried on with my daily, I thought of that little blue bird. Like that wounded bird who was in distress fought to get help right till it was safe. She wanted to live, she wanted a fighting chance. Like that blue bird, we should strive to give ourselves the best fighting chance and when we get it we should be thankful and content. We should make the best of life even when we are in distress because we might find our rescuer in ourselves.

Believe IT!!!!

Awake

BANG!!! BANG!!!! BANG!!!! There was a hammering noise on my door.... I was angry and afraid at the same time. I was silent but walked steadily to my front door. I peered through my peep-hole but my little feet was unable to tower over to see the unknown.....I was eager.....I opened the door......

There was a man, pale white, dressed in white....My first response was to flee yet there was a feeling of familiarity that lingered in the air. Under his cape, he gestured that there was a destination that was awaiting me, a place and purpose that was in my path and he was willing to take me if I was a willing participant in my life. It felt so right. I turned around to grab a coat, a pair of shoes and lock my home to start this exciting life that was meant for only me. As I turned around....., I awoke....., I was shattered.....

When I awoke I realised that we all dream of that life, a better and more brighter life, we all can have it when we work towards it. Like my dream, realise your dream.....

Believe it.

No Battle


The mind to be is not a battlefield or a mystery. I have had my issues, mostly medical, some emotional because I had not achieved what I set for myself. I believe now that we can do anything at a specific time. I have been out of commission, not been communicating with the rest of the world or the people around because of my body, my mind, my disappointment, these unforeseen circumstances where something I was unable to deal with yet I got the strength to face daily.


My Maker created me and knows my abilities, my disappointments and that they don't keep me down for long. Sure, I have been dealt a bad deal but I have to fight a winning fight. My mind wants to conquer everything I set out at this time in my life while my body fights pain and despair to keep it for doing what I know I am meant to be.


My body may be carrying my mind but I am here because of the power of positive thinking. Giving up starts in your mind not your body.


What is your battle???? Who or What is the winner????


I believe I am a winner because I will not give up easily.....Believe that you can do anything and you will....


Believe it.

Full Circle


I was hunting for a prized possession, one that I wanted and needed..... I looked everywhere and I wondered when I will be able to..... find it..... and own it....


Suddenly, in all the cloud of haze, I looked around, felt empty and was then aroused by suspicion and others around.... I saw a fountain of hope overflowing with all that I needed, certainty and insurance in my new possession. I received information from a resource spring and splendour. ....


I realised that it was a profound gratification to want something, get the necessary information and find what I need. My hunt is over......I am thankful that I have found what I was looking for...


My hope, my hunt became a full circle (which is so beautiful once completed) that became a circle of belief. Complete your circle.... I believe I achieved my ultimate goal...


What is your goal???? Are you on a hunt???? Whether it is, a possession or a request that you need, believe you can achieve your goal...


Believe it!!!!!!

Smoothie


The blend in my life's 'smoothie machine' was a good 'flavor'. I liked this one. You may wonder what am I going on about....It is what I had brought to my life and what people had received and their perception of me hence, that extended to my perception of me. Perception is reality!!! I wanted change.....Negativity to be reversed to great positivity....


The 'smoothie' in this phase of my life reflected the maturity of character, of strength and determination. I had worked on myself to peak the level of achievement and monumental success of believing in me.


This was not always the case, there was a time I disliked who I was or did not like the way I looked, nor did I trust my decisions. I did not trust myself because I believed the world did not have a place for me....not someone what was ill...so I strived for complete restoration. In the process, I became motivated to want to be apart of this beautiful world. I had a reason to be more in tune with myself, loved the person I became, found out that I have lots to offer.....


So......Yes....I am one of the best blends in the 'smoothie machine' of life.


Search yourself.....What is your blend???? Are you happy with yourself???


Believe that you can make a difference....It starts with you....


Believe IT!!!!!!!
