I want stop dreaming

We are at a point in our society that the fear of losing everything is more important than the belief that we can succeed in life. Now, who should we blame for this, should we blame Bush or should we wait and blame Obama? Yet, the truth of the matter is that it is neither s fault, the level of success is ours, and if we desire to succeed we must never stop dreaming.

Life at times can destroy the hope you have, at times it seems that Satan himself is hell bent on destroying you. One month you are behind on your rent, then next month they almost cut the lights off. However, some how you are still here, you are still kicking and screaming trying to hold on to what little you do have. Then it seems like someone is coming to take the rest.

For many of us, all we have are the dreams we go to bed with, all we have is the desire to keep pushing forward, the will that we can not give up. If we are not living for ourselves, we are living for our children, but we still are living for something. Don’t give up, don’t stop believing in whatever it is that you believe in, no matter what this life comes and takes from you, your house, car, cloths, job, 401k or your credit score. Understand that all of these things, you can get back, and I know it may not seem that way now, but understand even when it is the darkest, the son is shining somewhere, and as sure as the world turns it will rise for you, just wait for it.

I am not telling you this from a life of success, I am saying this from a moment where it seems that God has for gotten me. I am telling you this from a moment where all I have is my faith, my desire to be the greatest person I can be. I am telling you this from a moment in my life, where I fell like a failure, and I fell like a disappointment to all that I love. However, even is this moment my resolve is strong, my faith is concrete and my dreams are the motivation that pushes me through even when my heart breaks each day.

For even in these moments, I know that there is a God, even in these moments I know that he can make away for me and my family. Because, for some strange reason I know “that weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” As Job said “Even though he slay me, yet will I trust him.” For my younger people, as Jay-z said “I will not lose.”

So to everyone who has lost something, who is going through a ruff spot, be encouraged because you are not alone, you are not by yourself. Moreover, hold you head high, and believe in yourself, know that you are beautifully and wonderfully made, and that God has made no mistake, even in this moment in time. You will rise, you are somebody, and when they try to take what is left from you, turn Obama’s words from a plural statment to singular one,  and say yes I can.
