I was born to live my dreams and succeed on anything that I put my mind on in this earth. When I was a child I dreamt of great things that I could become, as innocent as I may have been that time, but I know that I was born with a calling. It is amazing how powerful we are as human being, young or old, but we lack the focus and execution of that power to realize our calling. Fear has convinced us that we have no power and procrastination is a witness to that.
Marianne Williamson put it perfectly when she said, “…Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” The power that we possess is greater than our imagination but fear pulls us back with seeds known as doubt and failure. All individuals have these seeds implanted in them since what you don’t water and nurture won’t grow, we pay less attention to the negativity. This is when we take charge of our lives before these seeds control us but pretending like all is well and good is a red flag to watering these seeds and deep inside you’d hear the voice that warns you. The security fences that we have put around our hearts and minds are a danger to us because we ignore all the warnings, pain in the heart and lack of thought investment. In fact, going on like this is a disease, we end up locking ourselves in. Without pain, there is no growth and this has destroyed people’s dreams and ambitions. When dreams and ambitions get destroyed that is a recipe for war and possibility for defeat.
This war is not just a typical type of war. This war is inside you and you know this war started when you watered those seeds with ignorance. Their roots have grown deep inside you and now they control you – now you fear and now you procrastinate, soon you will be dead if you are not walking dead already. The lack of hope to survive and revive your dreams or lack of hope to make it through to the next day means you are as good as dead. I am telling you that you are meant to be bigger and better than what you are going through – stand up for yourself and fight for yourself and water the good seeds – dreams, ambition, and positivity. You are defeated if you give up and where I come from defeat is not in our vocabulary. Your desire and will to face the war have to be bigger than anything you wish for in solitude, by starting to fight back overcoming the war you will notice that your intent to for growth starts to flourish.
Join me in fighting back, this war is to better ourselves and to face any situation that may be faced. We should not act as strangers to each other because we know we suffer from the same disease. Ignorance has no place if succeeding and developing ourselves is what we are after. Your desire to elevate somebody when they are down would translate to something bigger and stronger and that is the recipe to procrastinate FEAR. The war is never over, we keep on pruning the enemy, and we get better for bigger and better possibilities.
Do not fear to procrastinate fear inside you, embrace it and fight it with positivity if you. You are powerful beyond measure.
