Blessed With One's Self (On Tap 116)

Are You Ready? Monday is on the horizon.

Allo Hello people of the interwebs! Was your weekend all that you hoped for and then-some? Hopefully some joy, thrills, and not a lot of spills was involved in your mini-vacation as Monday has arrived with alarm whistles, musical wake-up calls, and of course...massive objectives you must attend to!

For this guy typing up this post behind the scenes, my weekend was rather awesome. Spent time with friends, watched sports of the collegiate and professional variety throughout my days, and even sung a little karaoke on the microphone. Besides some results in certain matches I was paying attention not really going my way...sadness...it was a pretty chill R&R session getting ready for Monday.

Even went to church for the first time in months to shape up the spirit that was deep within my skin and muscle tissues. Twas' a really good service and learned some valuable lessons about life in general as only how my preacher can teach the word haha.

Good times in the sanctuary indeed.

No matter what negative comes your way, no matter what stress comes from the top rope and splashes upon your head and no matter what ridicule comes from behind to smack you with a pair of brass knuckles...you are still blessed.

If you're able to see the sun and the skies...blessed.

If you're able to rise out of bed without pain...blessed.

If you're able to breathe without assistance...blessed.

I could go on and on and on and on about the small things that we as a people take for granted because it's such a part of our norm that we often overlook them. However probably one of the biggest things that I think is a blessing in my spectrum is the following...

If you're able to live your life the way you want to live it...blessed.

There is a difference between living and being a puppet in life. Fear nothing and make your own decisions that will help benefit your life in a positive way. Don't be some life-form with a rather large hand shoved right up your ass that has a mind-controlling device over you making you unethical to make your own decisions for yourself.

Insults, stress and drama will always come your way in some form or another. If you're able to stand tall with a little swag to your step then those elementary jokes called 1st grade "insults" won't affect your hustle, your drive and your passion. Yes, it can get annoying...and I know the feeling...just keep doing what you do best, curb stomp any negativity that tries to swerve you off-course to the ground and keep it moving towards your destination.

Not everyone has the opportunity to fully live the way they want to live; I'm very fortunate to be in my position to have that opportunity and I'll be damned if I'm gonna waste it. It's humorous when those same people jeering at you secretly wish they had something that you posses. 

And you know who you are.

But Hey! Get your shower on, get your clothes on and get your walk on this Monday morning! And if yours is as cold as mine...put on some extra layers. You're gonna need it...burrrr!

Count your blessings this morning, hop out of bed and get ready for the next battle.

It's a battle that you can win if you believe in one's self.

Make Your Move.

116...!
