The past few years, I've always wondered, Why do I seem to get extremely lucky. I've pondered this and continue to do so even to this very moment. I am quite sure I can't be just endowed with close calls and etc for nothing. So i wondered, is this a test of my faith. Not to be confused with my religious faith, Just a simple thought of faith. Now if we look at www.dictionary.com 's definition;
faith [feyth]
–noun
1. confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability.
2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact.
We can take from these two definitions that, maybe people have faith in me. Faith that i will achieve something meaningful to not only them, but myself. This thought that someone is holding me up on a pedestal brings a sense of fear. Fear that i may not be able to live to such an expectation. But it also brings me a sense of comfort and vitality. I feed of such faith. As I'm sure many before me have gained some sense of courage or morale from such a thought. If you've never felt the power of faith, listen closely.
├Q├I am Robin Haymon and I am telling you, Yes YOU, can achieve anything you so choose. Many people may have told you, "you can be anything you want to be, just work hard at it!" This is not the message I am trying to pass to you. Think of your WILDEST dream. Go Ahead Imagine, paint the entire picture in your eyes as you read. Now single out one thing, got it? Now think of its extreme worst condition. I.e. Limousine to a taxi, or Kerry Washington to The girl that likes you and has potential to be gorgeous (Mind you your peers tell you not to involve yourself with her because she isn't up on the trends). Now that you have these contrasts, think of how you will get from A to B.
*You should be thinking instead of reading here!*
And There you are...now you have a plan to acheive, the rest is up to you and father time. ├Q├
And then we are left with II., which states "belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact". This really adds on that same very thought "you can be anything you want to be." How can people believe something they have no evidence of. Whenever someone brings that question to the table, all that you need to hold in your mind is that You would want a complete stranger to believe in you. Why do we elect presidents and etc. Its the principle of faith that we hope they prove to be fact.So this leads me to final thought.
Someone Must be monitoring my life. This isn't average paranoia, because this isn't shrouded with fear. Well... I think I'll save this for Next Time. So I guess you'll have to tune in next time.
This post was quite inspirational.... well, except... how is the girl who likes you who has the potential to be gorgeous the extreme worst scenario? Most girls aren't Kerry Washington. Anyway, didn't mean to nitpick. Hope you'll start to update more regularly :)
ReplyDeleteI really am sorry i didn't see this etenesh. It's not necessarily that they are the worst scenario, its that unfortunately that is what society (dictates to us. It was just an easy way for me to take people out of the box, since most don't think that way. I mean since many of us are raised on that misconception(me included). I can't even count how many times i have foolishly followed the women that every man wants. in it makes me look back and realizes how much of a individual i really wasn't. I only was interested in looks and worried for the rest later, i had horrible luck. I finally "wooed" a women i ahd been chasing for years, and when i finally got alone with her...she was boring and materialistic, had no goal other than to be wealthy...by marriage or by effort.
ReplyDeleteand fromt hen on i looked for more meaningful relationships. And every one since then has been stronger and more enlightening than i could have ever imagined.
