It is never okay to worry. Worrying will only frustrate your situation or circumstances. Truth be told, worrying never delivers results, nor does it enhances the time from when things are going to get accomplished or completed. The best that worrying does is deliver and anxiousness or anticipation to our hopes. However, when you practice patience, it provides us with clear insight to make wise choices and more focused decisions.  As we live to grow in our possibilities, we need not worry about how much time as past, or how long it is taking to complete the journey. We should live in the moments that we are, continue to work hard, measure our daily progress, and continue to set goals to complete. You can become the dream you believe.   Tell yourself today, “I will stay focus and not allow circumstances to worry me.”

 

It makes no sense to idolize, become envious, jealous, or hope to have another person’s life. You have the same opportunity and abilities to achieve success in your life. The question becomes whether you have what is required to achieve the greatness you desire?  Most people assume they want to live beyond the thoughts of their imaginations, but only a few are willing to accept the terms and conditions that are necessary to accomplish their dreams.  The road to success is a lonely and difficult. Every now and again you may come across the gem of another person who think and believe as you do. However in most circumstances,  fighting for greatness forces you to live in a world where people abandon you, misunderstand you, talk a about you, and mock you for not marching to same beat as everyone else. Do You Have What It Takes to achieve your goals? Are you willing to make the sacrifices necessary to freely live?   Ask yourself to day, am I willing to pay the cost of what is necessary to live in my possibility? 

 

 Set yourself to stand apart from the crowd.  Be proud of who you are and what you want to accomplish. It is never too late to take a first step. It is the last step that should give you concern. As long as you have the ability to move forward- then never stop fighting for what is possible. You should always be true to your life. It is the only life you have.

I love taking risk. I enjoy diving into the realm of impossibility. I get great joy in watching nothing evolve into something because I dared to believe if I work hard, my efforts will produce a reward. I’ve learned that life is full with unlimited opportunities.  However, many of us never get to seize our opportunities because we live underneath an umbrella of someone else’s fears. We are so busy listening, and following their direction of what they think is impossible that we dare to take  risk.   What a shame. Our lives are far too wonderful to be snared by people that have no vision, afraid to believe, refuse to walk in faith, have no courage, and dare to hold onto hope. We are empowered by our decisions. Tell yourself today. This is my life, and I will make the decisions that are best for my possibilities.

 

“Life and death is in the power of the tongue,” is one of my favorite Proverbs. 18:21   I love this Proverb because it informs me that whatever I reach for in life is met by what I affirm as truth. It implies that no other force, person or entity has the power to destroy my possibility. Thus being said, it is then my responsibility to provide daily affirmations of what is possible. Therefore, every day I nourish myself with the following statements.  I will keep pushing. I will not stop. I will fuel my passion. I will believe it is possible. I will ignore the naysayers. The wind shall ride my back. I am the choice of my possibility. What affirmations do you provide to fuel you? Tell yourself today. I will fuel my thoughts, and dreams with words that empower me.

 

I remember as a young boy while playing little league basketball how exciting it was just to be a part of the team. I enjoyed the chants of victory our team would recite just before the game. I reminisce and admire the moments we shared of inspiration, motivation, and more importantly our declaration to give all that we had to the game. When i close my eyes to this day, I can see us claiming our victory even before we placed or feet on the basketball court. Regardless of winning or losing, coach taught us that the victory of the game wasn’t at the final buzzer, but delivering all that we had while the game clock was ticking.  In life too many of us worry about living rather than enjoying our lives. We worry about success, jobs, relationships and even acceptance. When in fact 99% of that thought process amounts to zero if we recognize that the clock is ticking. Tell yourself today. I can’t be consumed about winning. I will work hard to enjoy every precious moment I have to play.

 

Be You
Authentic is one of my favorite words. I like the way it sounds when I pronounce it. More importantly, I like what it means. “not false or copied; genuine; real, truthful.” In a society where we are vigorously bombarded by ideals of conformity, very few people stay true to who they are. It is each of our responsibility to live free within ourselves so that we can pursue our lives with authenticity. There will be many people who will question why you work to achieve certain goals, and rather than help inspire you to accomplish those goals they will unintentionally try and persuade you to walk the road most often travelled. Be You. Be truthful to your character. Whatever your dreams are, never allow anyone else to convince you what is not possible for you. Tell yourself today. I will be comfortable in my skin, and I choose to be me.

I like working out. I like the excitement of knowing when I push myself that my muscles burn. I love the challenge in taking the extra lap on the treadmill even when it feels like my legs will collapse.  No one ever said succeeding in our purpose would be easy. However, most people believe success should be like a casual stroll in sunny park without any obstacles. The reality is without the struggle or pushing beyond our limitation, there would be no gain. Our success is determined by our ability to press onward even when it feels like it is burning us out. Our growth delivers to us our purpose when we fight to endure.  Tell yourself today. I am going to deliver on my purpose even when it feels like I can’t go forward.
