POSITIVITY!!!! ( THANKS DAD)

Hi everyone,
Hope u r all gr8? and looking forward to this joyous festive season. Am excited and even more so cuz the new year is just creeping in and for me it feels like wonderful things are about to happen and i hope for u all to.
So lately, been reflecting on the year so far and if i av done anything i regret and truthfully i cld not find anything other than i probably allowed my weakness take charge of my judgement atimes, though this might have resulted from wanting everything to be JUST RIGHT. I'm grateful i realized this and the fact that life is not a bed of roses, people are going thru the same problems u av, or worse so NEVER THINK U R ALONE, AND GOD NEVER GIVES U MORE THAN U CAN BEAR.
So, thats that.... i was watching oprah's show, when she had the cast of (roscoe jenkins) Martin lawrence, Mo'nique and Cedric the entertainer, twas an awesome show and listening to their interview made me realize something........... its not where u start from its where u r headed.
Martin said he used to clean K mart floors, cedric was a grocery bag boy and i imagine walking into the stores like Giant, Safeway, Walmart & Kmart and see the various faces of the future success of tomorrow. Both are great paid actors & comedian and live the life they please but then i remember they never started out in luxury, I'll also remember the words of T.I famous rap artiste "put two 16 yr old boys together, put one out on the streets, and the other in Mcdonalds, in ten yrs the one who was on the streets wld av been to jail & back, shot, stabbed or even dead while the boy at Mcdonalds wld av worked his way up to become a success at wherever he is.
This was on the Tyra show when asked about his sentence in regards to illegal possession of weapons as a convict. Watching him as well, he is very articulate and humble, though he's made some grave mistakes he is humble enough to accept responsibility and pay the price , yet not allowing that to write him off as a person. We can give up on him but he has not given up on himself nor God.....
So here goes my thinking..................
It took most of the gr8 and successful people to get to where they are thru hardwork, persistence and TIME, success thorough success does not happen overnight, it takes a lot of failures, trials and rejections but at the end with faith and determination God surely rewards a true dream.
Someone once said "u envy the success of others? can u go thru what they went thru to get where they r?" So next time we pause to critic our selves and wish we were like the next person, think of what they might av had to give up or go thru to be themselves. I am, if not the top of this list, lol but this month of December has been an eye opener for me and i av come to accept the things i cant change and stop bickering about it.
Am excited for the new year and i knw am going to be dancing and singing thru out the year of 09 cuz my blessings??? i wont be able to contain.
God knws best so "I AM LETTING GO AND LETTING GOD, SOMETIMES LIFE IS ABOUT RELAXING, TAKING TIME OUT TO ENJOY THE FACT THAT U ARE ALIVE RATHER THAN COMPLAIN.
