We all know March can be full of madness but I think most of us secretly crave it. This craziness can be a great motivator depending on how we look at it or take it on. I don't think anyone is ready for every obstacle that comes their way but on our journey to becoming what we want we have to get our minds batted up. We can want the world but if our thoughts are tuff it will take longer than ever.
For example, I graduated from college in 2008, was working part time and living with my grand mother. There was so much I wanted to do and become and because of the economy's turmoil, fear took over me. Some of the interviews I went to was unsuccessful or did not fit my needs. For weeks I suffered from anxiety and with strong faith I began to come out of it slowly. One day, I said to myself, that in order for me to get anything else, I have to appreciate the things I have now. With a positive mind and attitude everything started to turn around for me.
Prior to graduation I talked about moving out and with my low rate of finding a new job, I hesitated. "What if I can't pay my rent or buy food? Oh hell, buy shoes!" Those were the thoughts that haunt me but as soon as I came into my positive energy that was no longer an issue. Hold that thought....
Now I believe in professionalism and have awareness in many religions. I don't want anyone to think I'm forcing one on to the other but I am going to express my faith about being a Christian. If you feel disrespected in anyway I apologize and hope not to loose you as a reader.
I shall continue....
A manager randomly approached me while working and told me a female associate is looking for a roommate. She had no idea I was looking but was happy to let the girl know I was interested. Now I'm huge believer of God using humans as angels so that day I believed he sent me one. Within a month I moved out on great faith and from there things took off. Now remember I'm starting to appreciate the things that are in front of me. I became a rock star at my part time job just by looking at it as a opportunity to be great while getting to where I need to be. My managers picked up on my ambition and empowered me to do different task at work. Within two month I was promoted full time and with in two years I was promoted another three times. Not only did I stay in the first apartment with a roommate for two years but I now live alone in a one bedroom apartment. One day that would change but for now I'm good :).
My God, Thank You for your blessings!
You see ladies and gentlemen this story yes is about me but more importantly about you. There are going to be plenty of let downs and road blocks but you have to keep pushing. Have faith and believe God has a plan for you, he has done so much for me and the people that surround me and I'm sure he will do the same for you. God gives us nothing we can't handle and only things that will make us stronger. Winners figure it out and can only do it with a different mentality.
It's time for spring cleaning, why not start with our minds?
