Opportunity Meets Preparation

Confusion is the experience that results when one does not admit what they want or need in any given situation. This leads to Jim Mora's greatest quote, "Coulda, woulda, shoulda!" Fear births confusion. It is the fear that other will not love us or care for us if we say we want or need. I've realized that if that person takes his/her love away, he/she was never my friend. And that person does not know what love is. In the past I've cared about everyone's feelings except my own. I grew angry when I didn't get the same devotion and loyalty in return. There won't be any confusion because I know that I am celebrating myself. I cannot be afraid of failure anymore because I becoming the failure for doing nothing. I am wonderful. I am sexy. I am smart. I am in the image of the Divine. Let me act accordingly. I will use my affirmations to keep the activity going. When something is not going my way, I have to take a few breaths and say, "Let there be light!" Fear hates the light of the truth.

I cannot allow confusion or fear to dictate my life. I've been talking for too long. It's time to do! I will be the BEST at whatever I do because the best is yet to come in my life. I remember where I was just 5 years ago. Sometimes I have to look back to enjoy my present. I remember struggling. I also remember not having. I have. I'm learning to be happy with what I have. Whatever I'm not happy with, I have to change it. I have to confess to myself what I want and need. After the confession, I have to devise a plan to get what I want or need. It's then that I have to have faith that I will accomplish whatever I want. It's time.

It's time to show what A. Kenyatta Parks is made of. My friends have been showing me through their love and support. I've done nothing with it. I apologize. They have build me up. I kept tearing myself down. A 'a-ha' moment just happened as I was writing. Starting today I will start preparing for whatever comes my way. No one will out-prepare me (Thanks, Art!). Opportunity + Preparation = Dream fulfilled. It's time to fulfill my life.
