Moment of the Conqueror

How to win in life, regain your focus and jump off the treadmill of life!!!

In the movie After Earth Jaden Smith sets out on a daunting journey… When it all becomes too much for him his father Will Smith from the command centre urges him… Calm down. Take a knee. Root yourself in this present moment now!

I hope this post encourages and uplifts someone, but above that I hope it stops someone in their tracks before they commit the next 10 years to the treadmill of life aka mundane living!

Don’t default to survival, just getting by, staying on top of things, ticking off the boxes on the schedule. It may be time to rearrange your life and start putting energy toward things that really matter. Family / purpose / advancement…. Stop for a minute and calm down. Take a knee. Root yourself in this present moment… You can’t keep up with everything, you can’t be totally giving to the needs of everyone, some energy must be used to advance you! Have a shot at your dream, press into the fear, be willing to be disliked or frowned upon, be cool with rejection you may have to walk through it to obtain your promises. Use the moments of doubt as a reminder of how valuable you are to the greater cause and how much the devil wants you to wallow in self pity. Don’t let your inner voice say “poor you”. Let the feeling of defeat keep you moving, let it be fuel to your purpose. Nobody is going to carry you over the line, nobody is obligated to help you, it’s on you! Own it, draw lessons from it, it’s a new day. Tomorrow is a chance to get it done! A chance to improve to overcome the adversity, to regain the losses and make up ground or even start again! Every waking moment is a fresh start. Yesterday’s losses can be forgotten if you choose, don’t let them play over and over in the picture theatre of your mind. Imagine a new scenario, a better outcome, an obtained dream. It’s ok to be inspired by others but it may be time to do the inspiring. Btw people are not as engaged in your dramas as you think… However you must accept that some people may hate you 😬 some people love you regardless go and be you! Don’t try and please people especially those who don’t contribute to the building of your faith, family, or finance. Stop setting limitations by referencing those who are around you. Do things that are yet to be achieved in your circles, take a risk, step out in faith, say something blunt and truthful! Say something cringe but beautiful to someone you love. Use words to elevate the identity of yourself and loved ones! Do something weekly that builds faith in others! Be open to new investment or business opportunities. Finally do you… Because God has formed and fashioned you for greatness!
