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.
