Can't Keep a Good Man Down

Well after a long hiatus, yours truly has decided to hit the blog up again. This time it is due to divine inspiration that I put mind to writing again. I feel inspired enough to inspire someone else today, somewhere in the corner of the World. Wherever you are reading this from, know one thing, I have an Important Message for you. A message that will inspire you to break out of your cocoon, as I am also in this process of breaking out of mine. For a while now I have been contemplating on what next to write about, what to share with the world. For a long time though, I hit blank spaces on what I can truly share with the world that can last for a lifetime and impact postively. Suddenly it hit me; I can share anything, as long its pure, true and inspired by positive circumstances. So today I will share with you a personal experience that really transformed my life into a great positive force that I hope will also provide you with the same level of positivity that it unleashed in my life.

Rewind 6 weeks ago, I am drinking with a couple friends, having a good time, cracking jokes! Pure Boys fun time. Suddenly one of the friends gets mad over a joke went wrong. Fight! Bam! Tempers flare, personal issues arise and before we know it friends have become enemies. I never used to believe that friends can become enemies in an instant. The story is long gone now, and the rest is history.

  Well my point is I learned a valuable lesson I think is worth sharing: the people close to you can betray you at will, never put too much trust in them, because it’s too easy. I know this sounds petrifying, “They are my friends” how do I even start not to trust them? Well, look at Jesus’ story, his disciples disowned him; Judas was a part of his circle so what I am talking about here is not new. History already set the precedence for the rest of mankind.

Truly, this is not a new concept nor does it challenge conventional wisdom as  the 2^nd  Law of Power, in the book 48 laws of Power by Robert Greene says Never put too much trust in friends. I am no doomsday prophet or anything, I am not telling you to live your life being skeptical about everything and everyone. Rather, I am telling you to be your own pillar of strength. Be your own support system because at the end of the day no one will stand up for you except yourself. How do you stand up for yourself? Perhaps you may ask. Your support system consists of your thoughts and what you constantly tell yourself day in day out, that everyday pep-talk. I have been able to turn some negative experiences into positive ones by constantly focusing on the positive side of it. Know this: No matter what happens to you in life, there is always something positive that comes out of it! It’s up to you to change the focus and direction of what you choose to see.I urge you therefore, to always find a positive aspect to every bad situation you may encounter.

I would never have been able to turn this event into a positive one if it wasn’t for the daily positive affirmations I kept saying to myself. The powerful force of affirmations cannot be overemphasized here. When you create a powerful support system for yourself, trust me nothing can go wrong! You can’t bring a good man down, they say. Well a good man won’t be kept down when his paradigms are positive and there is absolute belief within himself that he will do extremely better. You can! You can do better than you are doing right now! Believe in yourself and your success, and it will surely follow.
