Winner Mentality

Hi there Beautiful One,

Today is a peaceful yet stressful day for me, most days off are so full of ,"What should I do today?" We can get so caught up in moving forward but we never truly reflect on how far we've come. Every category of life can become such a burden especially when things aren't going our way. Today I am thinking about winning.

We are faced with so many choices in life and of course most of them we were never truly prepared for, or at least we think that way. Our minds are accustomed to developing subconscious strategies that help us get through, but what happens when those strategies no longer fit our current seasons of life? Survival of the fittest is just that: survival and I believe that it is time to be more.

We have all been blessed with gifts and abilities unique to each of us but the world is so full of distractions. I have become aware of this recently and have taken steps to correct this misguidance. In our emotions we drown out our personalities with the things that washes away our fears but never truly face them. Acceptance is a fallacy because we fail to accept ourselves. We start the year off with visions of a better future but around this time we lose our steam. We go back to the survival mode that we were never meant to live in.

You have a dream, a goal, a vision of a brighter you and tomorrow. I'm asking that you simply change your mentality towards it. In fact, that is the challenge for this week: KEEP GOING! Don't judge your progress by the numbers nor the likes. Don't give up just because of one bad day. You were made to thrive not survive.

The battle isn't with the vision it is with the mind and taking action towards your goal is the only way to learn the winner mentality. We see the destination in movies, social media, and so many other things. We become hard pressed on being in the photos that we see but we never see the journey. We never see the sleepless nights or overtime hours worked.

In our world, this Free World, we have to remember that the foundation of who we are is love and love conquers all. Pick that pen back up and start writing. Pick that brush back up and start painting. Pick that poem back up and start reciting. We are born to be winners and winners enjoy the journey AND the destination.

Keep your head up, be encouraged, and know that you are loved. You are a member of the Free World: a world without shame, without fear, a world where being who YOU are is expected. Be patient with yourself because everything is a process. Remember life is a marathon not a sprint. You'll make it through this week!
