Monday Motivation - Overcome

Overcome means "to succeed in dealing with (a problem or difficulty), or defeat (an opponent); prevail, and (of an emotion) overpower or overwhelm." When I think about overcoming, I have to think. I think overcoming starts with a thought. A stategic plan that will help me get over a hump. I plug in to my will to survive, so that I can thrive. I have so much I would like to accomplish, but there is so much I have accomplished, because I am an overcomer. The thing is that there are a whole lot of people that are overcomer's also, but you have to decide if you are going to allow others to dictate where you are going to be or who you are supposed to be. Some things might take longer to accomplish, but once you finish it, you will be relieved, because you knew what it took to accomplish that thing. Sometimes I have to think beyond my weak moments to get to the next moment. I have to be thankful for my now, then I have to set new goals to push myself forward, and then go for it. To be an overcomer, you have to push past the adversity that stands in your way. When you haven't had any struggles or obstables, you cannot even consider yourself an overcomer. So, remember, when you desire to be great, or to be successful, you are going to have test, obstacles, and hills to climb in life. Don't be surprised when you have haters, when you are tired, when people say bad things about you, because that is a part of the process. To overcome, it means to give yourself a chance to win by making priorities that will get you to a goal. You have to face fear, adversity, strife, doubt, failure to overcome. Pick and choose your battles and you can win the war. Decide what is worth fighting for and go for the things that matter. Overcome today! Written by Monique Lyn elle Gray
