Hello
Thank
you for stopping by.
This
week’s post has been inspired by Tyler Perry- Note to self, link below. It
would resonate with anyone who has been brought up in brokenness, drama,
dysfunction or strife.
A beautiful
message that gives hope - a better tomorrow is still to come, mess
can be turned into a masterpiece through the grace of God- anything is
possible.
Tyler Perry (TP) - Note to Self…………………………………………………………………………………………………
I was
deeply moved by the message because as you know my own journey isn’t too
dissimilar to what TP described. I loved how he framed such a dire trauma and
turn it into encouragement & inspiration for others, to never lose hope -
better days are still ahead of you. He also added that each experience, good or
bad will help to shape you in the person you are- you become better, tougher
and use your experience in your work to uplift, encourage and inspire millions
of people.
TP
faced many oppositions and he had every reason not to succeed, but he did in
spite of all of it. The inner voice he heard during the midst of his trials,
everything is going to be okay and that is not true when a teacher told him
that he won’t amount to anything, he now believes that was the voice of God.
The way TP navigated through turbulence times - he now believes that was the
voice of God directing his every step.
‘Beat everybody who beat you’- TP.
Thank you (God) for living so I can
thrive-TP.
I am
usually a very private person and never thought I be writing so candidly. It
inevitability brought me back to when I was at my lowest ebb. The job that almost
crushed my spirit. I just managed to keep myself together and move forward. I
am very passionate about raising awareness and spreading a more positive
message to the youth particularly, those who are at high risk of not being
productive with their lives. I can relate that it’s all too easy to consume in
alcohol & numb the harsh realities of life at times. If we can only
realized & accept the connection between us & God we may too heal &
be purposeful. I do believe after many years of therapy that it’s only God, who
can truly heal & renew the body, mind, soul & spirit to think & be
beyond the pain.
When I
look back at that dire period- I do wonder how I managed to navigate such
dysfunction & walk out filled with hope & faith that it will all get
better and I be okay. Given I had every reason to be unsettled & fear the
unknown because essentially I was on my own- coupled with this my daughter also
had a few problems of her own. The school wasn’t working out and I had to move
her school that alone was a very unsettling because it was one change after
another and it was overwhelming to contain.
Now I
also believe that it was the voice of God, who has always been there &
directing every step to come out of it stronger & better.
18
months on everything just come together so beautifully, my daughter is thriving
at her new school and I am healing & much happier in my work. I am filled
with hope that one day @ThinkingKIMI would be known to encourage & inspire
others to think & be beyond their circumstances.
Have a
blessed week ahead.
