This weekend's song is ....drum roll, please...."You can get it, if you really want" by Jimmy Cliff. I love this song, because it is quite uplifting and dares you to pursue your dreams through your hard work and dedication. Click below to take a quick listen!
I believe you can truly get what you want, if you put your effort and dedication into your work. Often times, we are face with uncertainties, fears, doubts, or physical obstacles, that limit our perception of reality, that limit our belief in our abilities. Don't fall into their trap!
I am not saying it is going to be easy to let those fears go. Not at all! It is going to be very, very, very, very hard! You are going to feel as if the world is coming apart. But you must not give up!
Imagine: What do you do in a garden when you want to fertilize that land around a flower? What do you do if a plant needs to grow into a bigger size pot?
YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE PLANT FROM ITS ROOTS. When a plant is moved and shaken from its root spot, it feels vulnerable and weak. It feels as if it had been torn from its safety zone. However, we must remember that it is through these actions that we can help the flower grow stronger and healthier. Change in the environment must occur for growth to happen.
You are a flower, my friend. A beautiful flower whose roots are being shaken and tried. You must allow for the storm to past, make new roots, and work towards reaching the sun again. I believe you are capable. We are all capable of our own personal growth. "You can get it, if you really want".
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Be strong, be unique, and step out of your comfort zone!
