Don’t Count Yourself out, You got this…

Do you really know and understand what is inside of you? What you are really capable of? What you can do and create? If you didn’t fully understand or comprehend it, I tell you today. Look at all that you went through, the pit stops, the NOs, the disappointments, distractions and setbacks, all sum-up to the journey self discovery and recognition. To realize what a powerhouse you are. Never get to a point where you are questioning yourself if you are good enough or feel like you are useless. We all have purpose and power to create. There are untapped wells in you which flows with innovation, creativity, insight, knowledge and wisdom. I know deep down you have a yearning for more and desire for the best, you can achieve it, you can do it, don’t count yourself out!

it is amazing how many times we count ourselves out. Feeling discouraged and tell oneself that you should leave this thing cause it is not meant for you. The truth is it takes time for things to work out and yield fruits, at the sight of a knock (Fall or delay) you can’t pack your bags and leave. That is the time where you need to push even harder.

If we look at the great and successful, if they would relay their stories with us, we will notice that they too went through a lot of things and encounted situations that told them to stop, yet they never gave up. They found ways to keep going. It might seem hard yet I encourage you to keep going “YOU GOT THIS.”

Even at times of uncertainty, where you are asking yourself what did I do to myself in applying for this course, why I did I want a child, why did I apply for this job…, why these people are treating me so unfairly, why I lost my job, Why me, the list go on. It was never meant to be easy, to someone looking from the outside-in might persive that it looks easy and it is desirable yet they don’t know the amount of sacrifices, growth, time that you invest to do what you do and to get what you have. It is all work, determination, zeal, focus and perseverance, whether hard work or smart work you decide.

Remember why you started in the first place, why you wanted this, that dream which keeps you awake at night, then after answering, envision the results and the reward at the end. “YOU GOT THIS” never give up, stay focused, have a plan, have a strategy, have a to do list, have an accountability partner or methods to keep you on top of your game. The most important thing is believe in yourself that you can do it and you have already came this far to give in.

If I were to tell you about me, I have encounted more than I have narrated or what you might see by the look of an eye, most if not all I have accomplished in my young life didn’t come easy, I had to fight, I have encounted people trying to stop me, mock me, pretend to help me, or block me even derail me, yet with every trial I still picked myself up and reminded myself, it is not about them but me, no one and nothing should stand in your way to reaching your goals. I smile and nod when I see people trying their level best to put me down, some old and some young, but it is a sad side and I wish they could see themselves through my eyes, we rise by lifting others, motivating and encouraging other, teaching and mentoring them. When I look at them I pray for peace in their hearts and that they will be loosed from jealous and envy, hacken to the truth and have a purpose driven life filled with growth plans to achieve their goals without putting someone down.

My last words on this segment are “Don’t count yourself out, You got this”.

Stay charged up.
