Take It...

Not everything you want is given, you'll have to take it if you really want it. Don't be like a spoilt baby crying over his mother's breast forgetting it initially belong to the father. Life is not a bed of roses, you have to fight for what you want. If it came easy, Jesus Christ wouldn't have to take that long walk to the cross and all those bruises so that you and I may live free. We want it all; the extravagant, the pretty women, the good life, we all want to be rich and famous, but then, what are we doing about it?.

If wishes were horses, men would ride. Don't be a dreamer, be the man living that dream. Wake up everyday with a "To do list" and not a "Wish list". Wake up dreaming of how wonderful it was to purchase that automobile and not how you would love to drive it. Be a Go-getter, you can and you will. Just pull out a piece of paper and a writing board and draw out a new plan. It's never too late to start afresh, it's better late than never. The truth is, if you haven't fallen, then you haven't even started. So now that you have, it's time to pick yourself up and get those pretty laced out Nike shoes and hit the track.

Forget about your friends and those ahead of you, you're not in competition with anyone but YOURSELF. And the only one that can truly stop you is YOU. Forget those in the dark ragging war against your destiny, you can retaliate by not giving up. It's not over till you win, success is the only revenge worth celebrating. Stop praying for your enemies to die but ask for an extra fifteen years for them so they can eat the bushes while you're flowering your garden and watching the sunset. If you want to get somewhere, if you want to be somebody, you have to get up and pay attention.

As kids, we all had set goals and aspirations even though at some point we may have lost touch with what we really hoped our future will be due to the circumstances life threw at us but I want you to know those dreams are still achievable. Like my father will say, when there's life, there's hope so don't ever give up on yourself because your creator never will. It's time to dust yourself up and get fired up in time for the ride ahead. Your engine has been off the road for too long and it's time it gets lubricated and serviced back to action. You can no longer make excuses, you just have to reach out and grab that which belongs to you.

A lion never waits for his food to be killed and fed to him, he goes all out to take it. You just have to be in charge and dictate the pace henceforth. It is your life and so your rules, don't let nothing or anyone order you around. What do you see when you look into the mirror? Well, I don't know about you but when I look into the mirror, I see an individual that has been greatly cheated and pushed around for too long and it's time to recover all that which was lost. I was blind but now I see and this time am not waiting for anything to be handed over to me, I'm going all out to take it. Everyday they say is for the thief and one day is for the owner, well I guess today is that day and now is the time, so let's make it worth the while.
