It feels like it’s been
a long walk to this particular post
I may not have anything
intelligent or funny to share
Lately I’ve had to learn
hard lessons and make harder decisions
A lot of times I’ve failed
at keeping promises to myself
And even doubted my faith
and my ability to be great
Once or twice it crossed
my mind to stop writing or pack up my Make up business (funny the two things
that make me genuinely happy)
I’ve been angry and
almost nonchalant to all I know I’ve been called to be
I can’t exactly say I’m
completely out of this phase
But one thing I have
learnt and I will hold on to is that “I will get up and Act”
Yes, in spite of my
fears, inadequacies and possible confusion
I’ll keep moving because
eventually I’ll be stirred in the right direction which is better than staying
at one point.
That being said…….as I
struggled with how to end this article I stumbled upon this video/audio
recording of an excerpt called "Power Of The Word" taken from Dr.
Maya Angelou’s audio book, "Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now"
and it took a lot of strength not to cry.
I admire Dr. Maya
Angelou, I don’t know all her poems and books but every time I’ve heard her
speak or read whatever she’s written I get the feeling she is super human!
But listening to this, I realize someone as great and influential as Dr. Angelou could admit some
form of weakness and the existence and power of God. And I see that you can
only get her level of wisdom from experience-either yours or of those closest
to you.
I was reminded that if
you hear and speak the right things over and over, you’ll inevitably become “the
right thing”.
Please listen and share Power of The Word
