One cannot consent to creep when one has an impulse to soar.
—Helen Keller
Imagine this scenario:
You wake up in the morning…
Geez! You feel weak!
Your heart sinks at the thought of facing the day. You are alive but feel like you don’t exist—you feel numb.
It’s almost as if you’re looking at someone else’s life through a lens. You seriously wish this wasn’t your life—but it is. You are merely gliding through it like a robot. You can already feel that it’s going to be “one of those” days! You look in the mirror and quickly turn away because you don’t like what you see. You can’t believe that the person staring back at you is actually you. You wish certain things were different about your appearance, but quickly figure out that some things just don’t change—they are what make you who you are.
You have tried to act on your goals and dreams but now you think they aren’t worth it. You have lost faith in them and considering how you are feeling right now, you don’t even want to think about how unachievable they seem! As if to add insult to injury,others are advancing, but oh…not you! Doors are closing in your face and you don’t know what to do. You convince yourself that it doesn’t matter anyway, because even if you knew what to do, you wouldn’t have the energy to do anything about it.
You struggle to stay positive and decide you need the help of a higher power. So, you mumble a short prayer, asking God to give you the strength to live through the day! You know that you can do more with your life but right now, you feel beaten down and defi nitely not like a million dollars!
Now imagine this…
You wake up in the morning…you feel powerful inside!
You feel enthusiastic about your life because you have faith and hope in your dreams. Your life is shaping out exactly as you planned. You smile from ear to ear because life is so good!
You look in the mirror and love what you see!
You are not perfect—no one is; but you still love yourself anyway. You take care of your, emotional, physical and spiritual needs. You have a healthy lifestyle and always strive to look your best. You surround yourself with people who support, respect and hold your opinion in high regard. You have chosen to feel good about your life and are ensuring that you do!You are making your life happen and calling the shots on what needs to happen or not happen. You feel confident in your ability to succeed. You know what you need to do and are able to get the results you want. Your self-belief is at an all time high and you truly feel like a million dollars!
Life has never been better…
You thank God for another beautiful day!
