How great can it be?

How great can it be?
You keep working for it. You keeping praying for it. You keep changing for it. It must be some kind of special. Look at you, can't keep it off your mind. I don't know what your it is, but whatever it is; it must be great. Look at the greatness it's pulling out of you. It's causing you to act different, think different, move different and want different. You have grown so much and come so far from where you started. You are closer to your it than you have ever been. Ask me how I know.
"How do you know Grace?"
Because you ARE IT! I don't think you understand how amazing it is that you are able to want something so bad you have tapped into your ability to do whatever it takes and become whoever it takes to achieve it.
The greater you become, the great your it gets. And there is nothing wrong with it. Keep glowing. Keep achieving. Keep mastering. And keep getting it.

What's Coming

So far, this year has been trying to say the least.
For every great achievement it seemed we were met with even greater challenges. For every triumph it seemed to be 3 trials. For every victory, you seem to have to pay hefty dowry. In all candency, it felt like a consistent struggle within oneself. A war going on with your future, your present and your past. I know it may be hard to see, but there is a great purpose in it.
​What's coming sooner than we can even imagine or hope is something greater that what we could imagine or hope. We have been working so hard; often times feeling fruitless in our endeavors. But everytime we think to give up, something happens. Something finds its way into our lives and motivates us to keep going. There is always some kind of breakthrough that seems to always get us through until our next breakthrough. Foolishly, we have believed that this burst of good fortune comes from outside ourselves; when truly... we have been working so hard.
The life that we want, we have been unconsciously working on and building already. The life that we are living today is the direct result of our yesterdays hard work. So quite naturally that would mean, the building blocks of tomorrow can be found in today. I say all of this to say, what are you building? When you get through to your breakthrough; what will it look like? What will it feel like? And are your actions in alignment with the life you desire?

​Don't Forget Your Stuff

I heard counting blessings is much like counting the grains of sand on the beach, 
or trying to measure the depth to which the deepest parts of the ocean reach. 
I heard if you started  counting the ones you have already received,
You will find that you are far more blessed than you may have previously believed. 
I really don't know a better way to explain, simplicate, or make you over and understand,  
but the love the universe has for us comes in waves like the ocean's and our good fortune is as abundant as the sand.

"A queen in the east requested my visit,
She enjoyed my performance and our connection was exquisite.
We both took a liking to feeding the people,
Because a full stomach helps with combating the evils.
In return for providing the verbal treats,
She would make me a meal fit for kings to eat. 
She would fill my cup and fill my plate
All I had to do was choose the food I ate.
For a second I was overwhelmed,
I fell into deep reflection.
So many times I didn't believe that what I ate mattered
But with her, it was a simple question.
All of those times laid shattered,
I realized that after all I had been through; 
I deserved to give her this menu.
So I replied to her with a little more ease,
I'll have fried chicken wings and you can sit that next to the baked mac n cheese.
By that plate you can place
A humble bowl,
of seafood gumbo.
So nice,
Over white rice.
Beside it place some cabbage but fry it,
I aint sparing no calories, I aint on no diet.
A little corn on the cob would really make my heart throb,
And some Garlic cheese bread would probably cause me to slob.
Some steamed shrimp would almost finish the job.
But the child inside calls for dessert to finish the show.
So I must go with peach cobbler a la mode."
-Louis Conphliction, Nov. 2017
