Mood: Jaded/Exhausted BUT Optimistic
Musical Selection of Choice : Charlie Parker
Ok, so my day got off to a crazy exhausting start. Although I've been up practically all night furthering my knowledge-- doing my online classwork that is, and stricken with determination nt to quit, not to give up although the difficulty of technical glitches presented severl haults in competion of some task, I decided to take a break. Upon mentally breaking my mind that is was oh so jaded, I went to work to work to complete some previous tasks there.. Well one technicality led to another technicality that led to frozen screens--- oh the wonderful world of computer :-{ No matter how much we try and at times place faith in them, we mut be reminded that these mechanical devices have a mind of their own and at times pick the most uncomprimising occasion to play tricks on you. To make a long story short, I had entered "frozenville" , a frozen screen doing absoutlely nuthin. After I came to grips with myself that hey you can't make it work, stop, you've done all you can.. I reluctantly pull myself away from the computer and left. I decided, hey I've been up all night I'm going to grab some breakfast and go home and go to sleep.. Well I called up my bestest goodest true blue freind I call Pumpkin, and we met for some breakfast.. Here I was thinking another routinem meal with great company with great convo... I was right but oh my gosh you never know what you're in store for. One of his friends joined us and we begin talking about the ever popular topic- LIFE. And as I listened during the convo, I digested the words of wisdom and enlightenment, His friend, said sometimes we get caught up in folks throwing the negatives at us that we forget to let those aspects fall along our side and focus on the positive. He used a concept/analogy that if/when the whirlwinds approach you, jsut as quick as those negatvie variables are thrown in the storm, you throw them back out jsut as quick and hold onto the positive. I thought to myself, WOW! :-0 great concept and I immediately made mental notes to jot that one down in the front of my brain. Family, friends, co-workers, church folk, even your neighbors too can sometimes hate on you and find fault in what you do, how you do, when you do where you do what it is that you do for you, but truth is and the idea we mus remind ourselves is this: those folks are put here on this earth to produce a drive in us to try harder, to want more, to excel and to determine ourselves and apply dilligence in what it is we desire to pursue and achieve in life. I jsut thought of Jill Scott's song, Hate on Me Haters.. I read/heard that haters do just what they are suppose to do- HATE. As long as they're hating, this means you are doing something worthwile that they simply cannot fathom or even apply themselves to try to even think of. We all are faced with obstacles everyday all the time, but how do you cope, how do you fight back, how do you maintain sanity and a peace of mind? I admit I sometimes feel so overwhelmed with to-do's that I sometimes I can hardly think straight, then theres the ongoing scrutniy from some that surround me that are oh my gosh, incredibly closed minded and constantly seeing the glass half empty vs. half full. But I'm pledging to thank them naysayers and underachievers, cause see, its because of them I strive so hard and will always continuously see that glass half-full and see the rainbow at the end of the storm even if it is far away in the distance.
Until my next post, Peace,Love, Prosperity & Endless Blessings
