In My Humble Opinion
As I continue to
journey through this miraculous experience called “Life” I like to accumulate
what I call “mini discoveries” or what Oprah Winfrey coined as “aha
moments”. Initially these discoveries were for my own survival/navigation
through similar experiences or so I could pass the next “test” concerning that
discovery, but in my typical nature I would babble on to my loved ones about
these exciting self discoveries and naturally they'd share their very own “mini
discoveries” with me. As a result, we’d both part ways enlightened with
a higher frequency than when we began conversing. Amongst these “mini
discoveries” and enlightening talks I’ve come to discover that the idea/concept
that everyone has the ability to change the world is slightly off. See the fact
of the matter is every single one of us are already changing the world through
whichever frequency we’re existing in and operating from in our everyday
encounters with others familiar and strangers alike. Perhaps the true discovery
here is that everyone regardless of their status, class, accomplishments and
failures possess the potential to make the world a better place. Yet as
exciting and optimistic as this discovery is, it could also be just as
intimidating as we are often posed with the questions; “who are you?”/who am I?” “what qualifies you/me to offer my input or
thoughts?” Well the fact pf the matter is life qualifies you. Speaking of
discoveries, I’ve come to discover that I am just as qualified to teach as I am
to learn. I mean what’s the whole point of being a “student of life” if I don’t at least attempt to apply the lessons
with the intentions of nourishing the Universe. See, I agree with Alice Walker
when she stated that “the most common way people give up their power is by thinking
they don’t have any.” If you are a human being who’s living and
learning than you’re qualified to share those lessons learned and valuable
thoughts that may be of benefit to humanity/society. The sad part is all too
often the most overlooked people withhold from sharing a simple opinion or
thought because they feel they lack anything to show for it which ultimately
disqualifies them and essentially takes away their very own power. I, myself
almost became guilty pf that unfortunate mentality until making my most recent
discovery that even though I have yet to evolve completely into the woman that
God intended for me to or achieve my big dreams, throughout my journey I’ve
gained some priceless messages that in my humble opinion will be of benefit to others rather than
just myself. So, instead of allowing which may appear to be valid opposition to
conquer you, know that you are allowed to and actually obligated to share
valuable lessons learned & experiences with the humblest intentions of
simply paying it forward.
