I Can and I Will

Sometimes what feels and seems like the end is often the beginning…

Ups and downs are the parts of life that make it what it is. You will get a bunch of downs all at once and you’ll get a bunch of highs too and you have to come to the terms of knowing that this is life. But what you also need to do is when you’re at the lows is you do not sit there feeling sorry for yourself but instead do something about it.

We have been blessed with such a beautiful thing called life, yet we tend to waste it away in sorrow, ice-cream and sadness, and thinking what if. This what if will be the death of you if you don’t get up and do something.

Over the last few months I’ve kept myself thoroughly busy because I couldn’t sit there feeling sad about a life event, I couldn’t sit there feeling unhappy that those people who I spoke to don’t care, those people who I used to interact with don’t show the same respect I give them. So I got up and worked my butt off with my heart and soul to the point where right now my focus is my goal in life, my business, pursuing my dream career and becoming the best possible person I can be.

This could be you. But you’re sat here thinking about somebody you may have lost contact with, you’re thinking about an ex, you’re thinking about an opportunity that you lost, you’re thinking about something that happened and it has crushed you. It’s human nature to feel such way, I did too, I have cried, I have lost hope, I have also had people not believing in me, I have had more insecurities about my appearance that you could know, but I didn’t let it take over my life. What I did is I built myself up and let myself know that I am the only one on this earth that is me and can achieve something that only I can achieve. You need to tell yourself this.

When you want something, when you want to pursue something, you have to keep that goal in sight, quite literally. You want a career, chase it! Pin up a picture and words on your wall to remind you every morning that this is what you were born to do and this is what you will get! You want a special somebody, go and get them, remind yourself why you want them, that special someone is obviously still in your head for a reason so pursue them! You want that job, apply now! You want that body, go to the gym now! You want to start a business, what are you waiting for, do your research, plan and start it! You want anything go and get it!

There may be factors that are stopping you, there may be factors that could cause disruption, chaos, a setback even, but these setback is what will make your goal in life even more worth it. Life has its ways to try and divert you, but it is to only make you stronger.

People in life are those setbacks, I believe that we live in such a selfish world, people become jealous, manipulative and really unkind that they will speculate and do anything to bring you down, which is sad, especially girls, we are viscous, but I tell you what ladies, Real Queens fix each other’s crowns! You could be the juiciest and the ripest peach in the world but there will always be that someone who hates peaches. Which is not how things should work but sadly that how it is and you learn from this. I think it’s only best that if you know someone needs a little helping hand to get back up on their feet then you should be there as their shoulder to cry on but also the one to tell you to get yourself together!

However, at the end of the day, it’s down to yourself and even when there isn’t someone to stick by you, you need to prove to yourself that you are much better off without and show the world what you have to offer. This world wouldn’t be what it is without you. As crazy as it sounds the world is you and you are the world.

When I was younger, I had a lot of people telling me that I couldn’t become a teacher, I couldn’t even get into university, that I wasn’t able to achieve much in life. There was a point where those who I thought were my friends turned their backs and I felt I had no one. There will always be those people who hate on you and they may even show you “sugar coated” love, but put yourself first and don’t let them take away what you are. So from all of this, I had enough and all I could hear in my head was, “watch me!”.

I have now graduated with an amazing degree, I run my own business, and in a few months with lots of blessings and hard work I will have achieved my dream career. I have very few but the closest and dearest people who matter the most by my side, I am working on myself to be the best of me I can. I am doing the best I can to contribute to this world just by being me. Here I am sharing the gift of life and using this to share what I know with you guys so that you can be the best of you. Understand that you are an amazing gift to this world, use it and show yourself to the world honey!

I read something somewhere that told me; even if you’re feeling down in the dumps, start off with small goals throughout the day to build yourself back up. Eventually you will become the strongest you’ve ever been and you can then achieve anything you want. It’s true. Nothing is impossible, it is only impossible because you are too lazy. Find ways to make it work.

You yourself are your weakness, don’t let yourself down. If You want something, You have to go and get it and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You can do it!

And remember…

Keep Smiling! x
