Am I That Somebody?

What do you do when you feel you've reached your breaking point? Do you succumb to the feeling of failure and give up? Or work harder to achieve the goals you have for yourself? Unfortunately that's the predicament I am currently in. Stuck between giving up and pressing on. Debating between listening to the voice in my head saying, "Yes, you really won't be anything in life," and allowing this moment of doubt to be a mere paragraph in my life.

The trick is to find something to believe in. Something that makes you excited to wake up every morning. Be it a higher being or something as simple as walking the dog in the morning. Believe in yourself by acknowledging all the good things you've been able to accomplish in your life and rewarding yourself with positive thoughts. Begin to say in your head "I am a conqueror that can not be conquered," and slowly, with action, things will change.

It's quite ironic that, while writing this, I am able to reinvent the way I've been thinking. My biggest challenge I must overcome is to be patient with myself. I was able to overcome depression that once had a tight hold on my life, so that must mean I am invincible. My great grandfather gave me a book that, until this moment, I had almost forgotten. In it, it read, "I am created by God so I must be special." During my adolescence it never registered to me what that meant. "I was created by God," which must mean I have a purpose.

That's it! In order to be successful I must remember that I was put on this earth not by happenstance, but I was chosen by God to inhabit this earth. To leave a legacy of love, life and happiness and to live to my fullest potential, while making sure to motivate those around me to do the same.

So I ask myself again, what do you do when you feel like you've reached your breaking point? Well, trust yourself, love the process, and have patience with unwavering faith. You are great. You are able. You will be somebody.

Love Forever,
