It's all in the Mind...

10/28/2011

Eh, but yay! Is my response to the last few chaotic weeks I have had. Did I mention that in addition to writing poetry I am a social worker? Well, let’s not stop there because in addition to social worker I also do ministry, and full-time school (which this semester added two wonderful internships to my schedule). Why am I back in school again after already having a Master’s--- oh yeah --- it’s all about that “calling” thing, man I keep forgetting about thatJ.
Anyway, everyday I’m realizing more and more the effort it takes to consistently and conscientiously choose success over failure, and by failure I simply mean being comfortable with a spirit of complacency. I mean think about it- failure starts with a mindset as does success.
The bible (yes I’m going there) says “…you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. (Philippians 4:8, Message Version)”
Therefore, I’ll choose to think that small beginnings are not futile rather they are building blocks to a great future. I choose to believe that one day people will know my name in the world for something positive. I choose to believe that I can excel at my job and excel in school even when exhaustion falls upon me. I choose to believe that I am worthy to be loved, fought for, and pursued. I choose to believe that I can have what I dream! What is it that you choose to believe or think for yourself today.…

So enough of the chit chat- come check me out for the following open mic dates I have scheduled thus far (if any changes I’ll let you know asap)…

Wednesday, November 16th – Bus Boys and Poets Open Mic Night @ 9pm (5th and K)

Don't be afraid if you are going to start small. Many successful people nowadays started without having nothing! That's why you need to be proud of yourself because from time to time, you are making a progress. By the way, there is nothing wrong if you are having a problem or facing an issue about the genuine desire of your heart. It's normal, and you don't need to feel different because you feel that way. If you are still finding a path you wanted to navigate, take it easy. You have all the time to think about your future and it's actually a good thing that you are asking yourself where do you see yourself 20 years from now.
