I Can't
- What if you took that opportunity you wasn't so sure about
- What if you would have just left the person you're dating that has no relevance in your growth and continues to bring you stress
- What if you woke up knowing the day was going to be spectacular, naturally.
- What if you read books more
- What if you just GOT OVER that petty situation and chose to be unbothered by something that really has no relevance to anything at all
- What if you chose not to be annoyed by the obvious daily trials every human gets, and chose to just laugh it off
- What if you would have went out of your comfort zone to see new versions of yourself and what you can do
Since I have been working on my growth and putting everything else second, I have a lot less "I cant's".
I have so many "I can't believes".
- I can't believe that that little opportunity I took caused me to meet that person, which led me to this, then to see that,.......(Everything leads to something else...Just know)
- I can't believe I can actually say I am over that person, like my goodness I was so "in love"...what the entire heck. I have never felt so much peace..(Time goes by and you realize that when you love yourself first, you are worth so much and you know how to protect yourself from any hurt.
- I can't believe I am always happy. I think it's because I'm grateful. There is so much to be thankful for. When you humble yourself and look at the whole world and see that everyone has problems you can then truly look at your day like a gift. This simple step makes your day that much better and positive.
- I can't believe I love reading now. I barely started reading last year. I only read books on self-help, wisdom, and anything that creates a better you. This has given me so so much knowledge about myself, people, life, success, and what really matters. (Take care of your mind, it needs to be expanded...You just have no idea what you are capable of.)
- I can't believe I carry this so well now, MOOD: UNBOTHERED. Stop letting things get to you. Everyone is different and people are going to irritate you. That's life. If someone acts like a fool to you, what difference does it make to be a fool with them. The easiest lesson you can teach them is you not caring.
- I can't believe I look at every single thing as a positive. YOU choose the perspective you will carry when something happens to you daily. "This and this and this and this happened to me."I think people think I live this perfect, peaceful, happy life. Well, I only live that life because happiness has become immune to me. I choose to be happy and not get irritated. I have control over most all my emotions, and don't let them have control over me. Things still happen to me, people still try me, I am just like any other person with their problems. I wisely handle them though and I continue to practice peace.
- I can't believe how much I have discovered about myself. It's all God who has exposed this greatness to me. If it wasn't for God showing me life within His eyes and not mine, I would just be the same basic Vee as I was before. I have found out things about myself that I never ever knew I was capable of. BUT THAT'S WHAT GOD DO.When you allow yourself to expand in areas where you haven't yet experienced you begin to discover hidden amazement's of yourself. Doing new things and going outside the box leads you to innovation and new discoveries. Your potential grows as you allow it too.
With me though, all Glory to God for all my "can't believes", I can truly say 100% that He is the reason I could do all those things.
The verse "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. -Philippians 4:13", isn't just some cute encouragement verse. It is so real. People are so sleep on what God has for them.
It is progression. It's hardly possible for you to change over night. God doesn't expect you to either.
People think that to get right with God, you have to drop all sin and be a saint the next day...NO. God is grace. Just depend on Him and let Him be your business/life partner. Don't get stuck with "religion". God doesn't want that, He wants a relationship with you. He wants to be your most loyal best friend. He wants you to trust in Him. He doesn't want you to go through it by yourself. He wants to make life easier for you. Most of all He wants to TEACH YOU LOVE.
I have learned love from Him, and wow.....I now see and understand what true love is.
Work on your character. If you were ready to handle the promotion now, God would give it to you now. Many times, we need to develop the character so that we will be wise for what is coming our way.
"The strength of his character gained will be the measure of his true success."- John C. Maxwell
Example: Make failure your friend.
See failure as a sign of progress. It is impossible to continually try something without failing. It's apart of the curiosity journey.
Why did this happen?
What can I learn?
How can I grow from this?
Fail Fast, Learn Fast.
"And not only that, but we also glory in trials and tribulations, knowing that
tribulation produces perseverance;
and perseverance, character;
and character, hope.
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."- Romans 5: 3-5
May you do something you have never yet done, may you see all the beauty in yourself. May your passions be revealed and your spirit thrived!
