The Struggle of Being Accepted At A Cost.

Most of us struggle with the dirt of the dirt to get to the crossroads with ourselves in the mirror before we truly see ourselves for who we are. Sometimes, the mirror becomes a deception of what we truly see. You must affirm your true self to know that reality hits harder than the merry tales we tell ourselves. Trying to project something that is not us or out of reach of who we truly are. Picture a dream you have long envisioned, a dream you know in your heart is yours, something you fight for wholeheartedly. Then, one day, as disappointments and chaos come your way, you look at it as a curse rather than a delay in redirection. You are competing with the world; what is yours to achieve? You are trying to prove your worth to people, while those you are trying to impress also have work to do on their own. There is no competition, it’s just you and God. When I talk about God, I refer to your fears in relation to your greater self, your lower self, and your highest self. Who is God to you?

Life comes with a certain beauty. Be grateful for every opportunity that was ruined, every relationship that was broken, and every false belief that opened your eyes to the truth you consistently asked God for. When God gave you what you seek, he did not tell you the time he would reveal it to you or manifest it in your life. It just happened in alignment with God’s timing. You can call it Supreme Being, Higher Power, Omnipresent, Buddha, Yeshua, or Mohammed. We are all connected to a single source of mighty power that guides our instincts, choices, and decisions in life. Like an abandoned shoe, its usefulness is still an art in progress. Just because you are lost doesn’t mean you won’t be found.

Today on the 09/24/2025, I was driving my kids to school when I saw a “homeless man” talking to himself. Everyone in traffic had their window up but I lowered my window to hear what he had to say. He said something that stroke my thoughts. “No one should be above another or is above another, everyone is equal,” that sentence made my whole day. I kept thinking about it numerous times, even when I wasn’t thinking about it, the universe reminded me of it. I remember his face, his gestures when he said it. He changed my perspective about the higher places people find themselves, then all of a sudden, they feel superior over everyone. Love is not superior over anyone, it’s equal. His words brought a shinning light to my heart. This is what I say, when God chooses to bless you, you never know when it will happen, it just does and it comes from anyone out of the blue and the skies watch to uplight even the dimmest star in the day.

Take a mother, for example, the conceiving of a child to birthing, breastfeeding, and raising a child takes years to bear its fruit. Even when the fruit has borne its life, you still have to nourish it and know its useful purposes. Everything in life takes time to grow, establish and develop, like a mango tree, an oak tree , or a mahogany tree. The roots are strong enough to build you a house or a bed to sleep on. A mango for your health, and the leaves for cures. Your timing may not be God’s timing, or your higher self ready to take on the journey you always want. What you want won’t always appear, but what you desire seeks you. Enjoy the journey even with the little things that happen and what you have because someone in the hospital bed would die to be where you are. There is no rush, no one whistling that if you reach by the age of such and such, your are a failure. Be your own whistle and avoid naysayers, backbiters who look down on you while they have nothing themselves. Be happy where you are, and what is yours will come to you when you least expect it. Be expectant to shock the world just like when you conquered every fear you thought took you away from you. Whats left but a dream that conquers everything negative. BECOME THE DREAM THE WORLD BEEN WAITING FOR! THERE IS ABUNDANCE FOR EVERYONE.

The Struggle of being accepted comes with a cost, would you prefer the price or the cost?
