Hungry

I'm going to be completely honest

With you guys. I've been on this new found high lately. I am truly a dreamer. That's all my thoughts consists of, my aspirations have taken over my consciousness and I am hungry for success. We all know gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins but in this case I plan to eat and eat until I can't eat anymore; and even then I will slowly chew each bite carefully as I endulge in this buffet of success. I will sit at the table of triumph rubbing my belly as I look over all of the plates I have devoured. 

I don't think we understand the mere truth that we can accomplish anything we set our minds to. Many of us are dreamers with no action, dreamers who try a couple of times but it gets too hard and we give up. Dreamers who get distracted in comparing ourselfs to the next person. Dreamers who are more concerned about our neighbors grass being greener than ours. Don't you think it's time for us to take a step back and reconfigure our mindsets? We are extraordinary beyond measures but all of our greatness is wasted by having a mindset of mediocrity. 

Stop telling yourself you can't and start saying you will. Many of us blame other people for not reaching our goals when in reality no one was stopping you but you. We are so busy worrying and thinking about what may not happen that we create our own self fulfilling prophecy. 

WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT YOURSELF IS WHAT YOU BELIEVE. 

Your thoughts are powerful. Aren't you tired of tearing yourself down. How about you start building yourself up. We get in our own way majority of the times. Make  excuses for ourselfs when we don't reach our full potential. Those excuses are just pacifiars that hush our screaming consciousness. It's so much easier feeding our thoughts these lies, so much easier to blame the next person for our own shortcomings, right? When you start to change your mindset you know that there isn't any devil in hell that can keep you from claiming what's yours.  Okay, you've fallen ten times. 

SO WHAT

This will just be your eleventh time getting back up again and if you get knock down again you'll get right back up. The harder you go the harder it gets. Success is a uphill battle and many of us wanna lesson our load as we travel. Our heavy bags we load on our backs are filled with lessons. 

RESILENCY is what seperates a dreamer from a doer. 

FAITHFULLNESS is what seperates a dreamer from a doer. 

HARDWORK is what seperates a dreamer from a doer.

 I guess what I'm trying to say is.......

GET SHIT DONE 

MAKE SHIT HAPPEN 

DO NOT STOP

Ask yourself this, am I a doer or merely a dreamer who's day dreams have turned into slumber?

Isn't This What You've Been Waiting For?

Now before I get into anything I would first like to apologize for my mini leave of absence. I can not believe that this is my first blog of the new year!! Sheeesh it's the 24th of January. This year feels like it's flying by already. I can honestly say that this year has started off AMAZING! Im beginning to see the seeds that I have planted begin to sprout. New opportunities are blossoming and everything has been working in my favor. 

Im ecstatic about new beginnings but with everything happening so fast there's this little voice constantly asking myself if I am capable of really doing this. 

Isn't it so funny how we can strive to do something and once that opportunity presents itself we all of a sudden have doubts. The pressure of feeling good enough begins to weigh on us and now all of those precious seeds we've planted are now going to waste because of our lack of confidence. We first question, "Where are the fruits of our labor?", and once they begin to grow and we can physically see them we are startled by doubt. Startled at the amount of crops that have grown. We question if we are even ready to begin plucking and pulling our crops. How can we work so hard in life being a farmer working towards our goals and aspirations, constantly plowing, sewing seeds, and plucking weeds to ensure the prosperity of our harvest; But when the harvest comes we are scared to take what we've worked so hard on to the market for sell? Scared to set up our own table to display our crops for others to see. 

 

This is what you've been working at, patiently waiting for your moment and it's here. Why wouldn't you take that chance? Do we have so little faith in our own crops? Are our crops not good enough to be sold at the market? It would be so silly of you to have spent all of this time on something you've never intended to sale. All of the late nights, early mornings, mini melt downs, and frustrations are all in vain now. You worked so hard on a master piece you will never display. It'll just be a hidden treasure no one will encounter and you'll be left with the "I wonder what would have happen thoughts?". 

See here's the thing, we can work so hard at something and want something so bad and allow doubts and fears to bind us in a stage of stagnancy. We never fully act on our gifts because we are too worried about what may or may not happen. We have little time to entertain those thoughts of doubt. Excuse me, let me correct myself, WE HAVE NO TIME TO ENTERTAIN THOSE THOUGHTS OF DOUBT. Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. Honestly there's no such thing as failure. We have to get to the point where we actually believe failure is NOT an option and believe that we can accomplish anything we set our minds to. Hell, if it takes you telling yourself this everyday, a couple of times a day, or even every dang hour do what's necessary to get that embedded in your head. 

Now I'm not saying that I don't struggle with this as well. I have to remind myself constantly that I am capable of accomplishing any and everything I put my mind to. Writing these blogs seems to keep me on track. No longer will I waste the time I've used to plant and sew these seeds into my garden of dreams, to watch them grow and not fully seize the opportunity. Im taking my harvest to

the market I hope to see you there!! 

With Love,
