As some of you know this past few months has been very hard for me after the accident and other life conditions that I have been going through. Today as I was on my way from work I started thinking about what my motivation is? What keeps me going when putting one foot in front of the other gets hard, or when I start having out of body experiences of just giving up and staying in bed till I decompose?
The first thing that came to my mind is my trust in God. I believe that God put me on this earth for a purpose, and that purpose must be fulfilled regardless of what hard times I go through. I feel like my experiences are stories that will help many people because I can say to them I have been there, I know what it feels like, and this is how I overcame my obstacles. Another thing that keeps me going is my family who never let me give up, no matter how many times I cry, and say it’s too hard. They allow me to vent then instruct me to pick myself up and keep going. (Notice I said instruct) #there is nothing like family love…. They do not allow me to dwell in mediocrity. (Thanks Cousin for that one) this list also includes my friends who continue to encourage me and listen to me vent and still believe in my vision and help me however they can.
Aside from God, my family and friends, MUSIC plays a very big part of keeping me going. It might sound crazy but I heard this song by Nikki Minaj and Rihanna “I came to fly” that’s the song that gets me out of bed when my body is failing me. Beyonce’s “ I was here” keeps me focus on the vision God gave me, and Rick Ross “ Everyday I’m Hustling” reminds me that I need to get money. #dontjudgeme!!!LOL. Anyways, everybody has those things that push them to keep going but for me these things are working for me right now.
Remember when discouragement sets in find something or someone that will encourage you and uplift you to keep you going. We all need people do not think you are on your journey alone. God did not put all these things and people on earth for nothing take advantage of them. If all else fails I am here for you. REACH OUT!!! Inbox me!!
Peace love and hair grease!!
