Keep your Eye On The Prize. 8/28/15 2:06 PM


So today was one of those days I was in my head the entire day. Is that a good thing you ask? It depends on what’s renting space at the moment or living for free. I’ve had like I don’t know 67 emotions on heavy rotation today.  It was a whirlwind cocktail of all the emotions you can think of, nostalgia, disappointment, anger, sadness, hope, laughter you name them.
My day actually started out fine, have you ever just been singing in the mirror looking for what to wear for the day or just going about your day and then BAM! A thought just ambushes you, and not a good thought. And it literally changes your whole mood, you feel the exact same feeling when that particular thing was happening...and u feel so bad in ur heart waaah :-(

And so I always try to just stop the negative thinking but sometimes it’s so strong so u have to pray and ask God to just help u then wait it out. And it just got me thinking how sometimes it doesn’t really matter what you do, part of life is being disappointed, even by people you never expect…to be quite honest I don’t even feel like writing but I said I’ll share because someone else might be going through the same thing.
It’s one thing to put effort and try out something and not get it. Granted there could be many reasons that are even beyond you or even someone else being better than you, and you have to accept that which means you have to double your effort. I am all for that. But then for situations where someone else tries to make you feel like you don’t deserve it or tell you in short that there’s no room for you, meaning it’s only for them or their kind, I don’t even know what kind that is. I’m sure you know what I mean. That’s plain nasty.

But the thing is it’s a different kind of feeling when all along you think something is being done only to find out that it never even crossed over to where it was meant to go. And it got me thinking that human beings really can be selfish. And they never want you to call them out for it. You try to follow up and they become militant and defensive. I believe anyone can be who and what they wanna be! Whether you wanna help or not it’s not in your place to decide what other people deserve. Just because you got to where you are first doesn’t mean no one should try or look down upon others who are trying. And I have noticed it happens  Alooooot esp to people who are trying out new ventures..
No one wants to give you any info even though it has absolutely nothing to do with what they do or will ever do. You will be surprised even so called friends act like you know I wish you all the best just don’t involve me or ask me anything. Basically just being a dog in a manger. And so for me I believe try try and try even though its gonna be blood, sweat and tears because one day it will all be worth it. For those ones who wanna shut you down or think you are being ridiculous for following your dream or just think you are not good enough, pay them no mind and as painful as it maybe, trust me it’s always worth it in the end. So this is to everyone who is struggling and has been made to feel they are less than stellar..keep your eyes on the prize.

And this week I learnt the true meaning of  PERSISTENCE . If you want something fight for it, you might not get it easy like some people do but in the end if you persist you will get it.
I also learnt nothing is impossible, you may meet people who put road blocks just because they think you are getting off easy and didn’t go through what they went through, which really doesn’t make sense.
Because really you don’t know what someone has gone through to be at that particular point.. If you meet people who wanna help thank God for them, because good help doesn’t come easy. For those who don’t want to help let them be. Nobody is ever a one all end all anywhere. Anyone can tell you or promise you anything but very few actually do it or back up their words.They'll just pay you lip service to make themselves look good.
I learnt the true meaning of friendship, when you have a friend who stands by you through thick and thin, returning the favour is a pleasure and a joy.

So talking out of experience I would love to encourage the discouraged, coz I find myself in that funk sometimes. If you want something don’t stop at nothing, in the end its always worth it. Plus it makes you appreciate the effort and for me It makes me never wanna be like the people who disappoint you just because it’s you.. and they think its ok, because she’ll get over it. It makes me wanna assist where I got stuck and someone else assisted. Thanks for those who take time to read my blog, have a lovely weekend.

Love
