A Woman On A Mission

Reflection is a very soothing concept and with some extra time on my hands I’ve been able to do a lot of this lately. I have been able to analyze certain situations and come up with ways to resolve issues. Sometimes in order to correct something you have to humble yourself by putting your pride aside and admitting your own faults. You have to realize that everything in life is not about you and being selfish will only leave you with the first part of that word, “self”. There may be things that you still need to work on and accomplish but you cannot neglect everything else in your life at the same time. Life goes on whether you are ready or not and the last thing you want to do is be left behind.
Keep it moving and the things that are meant to be in your life will catch up if they are supposed to be there. Whether it be relationships, friends, family, or things that are fun to do that genuinely make you happy, keep doing them. While I was talking to a friend today she brought up a really good point, “This experience has taught me life is too short to think all your ducks have to be in a row to keep going. You got to adapt sometimes.” For some reason that was like a light bulb going off in my head and it really stuck with me. She acknowledged that she knew I hated the whole YOLO enthusiasm, which I still do lol, but she made a good point that a lot of my spontaneous life decisions have lead me to the right place. I am working toward goals but I am also putting other things on hold to achieve them when it may not be necessary to. I keep thinking everything about me has to be perfect before someone else can appreciate me, when in all actuality someone can very well appreciate your imperfections and admire your growth. Everything in your life does not have to be lined up perfectly in order to keep moving forward and to keep up with the “now” aspect of life. Some people pass up great opportunities thinking that life has to be seamless in order to maintain friendships, start new relationships etc. Now don’t get me wrong, I strongly stand by the whole idea of having to be happy and in love with yourself before you can devote that to others but if someone else in your life has the power to help you get to where you want to be then why shut them out? Take chances but be careful and aware of what you get yourself into. Fate controls who walks into your life, but you decide who you let walk out, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go. God’s timing is perfec, let me say that again.....God's timing is perfect so when he hands you something don’t ignore it and don’t let the chaos in your life keep you from something great. If someone or something came to you for a reason they won’t be discouraged by what you have going on. In all actuality everyone has their own issues big or small; it’s how you handle them that make you who you are.

“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.” So stop thinking so much into things and go get what you want. It’s better to try and then fail than to never try and look back on things thinking what if. That’s a failure in itself. You also have to stop worrying about the past, true friends will accept what you’ve been through. The only time you should ever look back is to see how far you’ve come. Always remember, every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. You always have the opportunity to make a “better self” out of you. Be great, stay focused and get what you want. Never tell yourself you’re not ready, you’re always ready for something. Its the equivalent of saying “I cant”. You are a woman on a mission! Own your life, don’t let your life own you!
