“Look past the pain”, is the thought that came to me one day. I did not have to take time to figure it out. I knew what it meant the moment I heard it in my spirit. I remember those days when I was an athlete, and there was and still is this popular saying. “No pain, no gain.” Many of us don’t gain in life because we abort because of the pain. As I said in an earlier article, there are two kinds of pain. The kind that we inflict upon ourselves and the kind that is inflicted upon us by others. Either way its pain and it doesn’t feel good. But pain can be our friend if we can embrace it long enough for it to produce something. You never know, and entire nation might benefit from the results. I know it’s tough to look past it when we are right in the middle of it. But pain creates focus and generates power, power to change. To change us, to change our families, to change our communities, and to change our world.

Just about all us have something in our life that we want to see come to past. We have a vision of what it is and can see it as clear as the day. But sometimes when we look at where we are in life, it looks nothing like what we see in the vision we have as to where we want to be in our lives. When we see this, we have a tendency to get discouraged and give up pursuit. A vision will only come to past through much focus, discipline, work, and most of all, change. We must be willing to quickly engage the process of changing ourselves when it becomes evident that there is a need for it. Stick with it my  friends and it will come to past.

It is amazing how many people have crossed my path that can’t seem to let go. Myself included. In this post, I’m not going to speculate or give any examples because we all know of the things that we need to let go of. These things are sucking the life out of us and robbing us of our relationships. One day soon we may look up and be at the end of our lives and realized that we have allowed ourselves to be held captive by these things. That would be very sad. As I sit here sharing these words with you, the power statement just came to me.

I have often asked teenagers I have worked with over the years this question. “If I were to cut off one of your outer body parts, which one would be the one that would be certain death if I cut it off?” Every single time the answer was, “My head!” If this is true physically then I believe it to be true overall. In any given situation, those that have the best opportunity to succeed are the ones that chose not to lose their heads.

Over the years, I have pushed and tried to force many of the things I wanted to see happen in my life. Big mistake my friends. If the timing is not right, we can push, pray, cry and everything else. Most of all we are going to accomplish is getting frustrated. If the time is not right then it usually means that we still need to grow some in any given area of our life. Besides, do we really want what we want when we are not ready to handle it.

I’m not talking about the old soap oprah, I’m talking about the one life that we all have to live. Let’s not live it with regrets. We all have dreams that we want to see come to past in our lives. So what are we waiting on? We are not going to wake up one morning and find ourselves in the middle our dreams. We must get busy on the process right where we are. Now in some cases, getting busy may be as simple as growing ourselves in any given area of our life. To maintain our goals we must be prepared to handle it when it comes.

Power Statement:

I will maintain the success of my dreams only if I have developed myself as a right standing person along the way.
