“What is for me is for
me, I might have to fight but I won’t have to compete…The fight is fixed
because I was designed for this!”-YOUR Truth
“Follow after your own and
your prize will not be revoked.”-YOUR Present & Future (It seems like
they talk a lot…)
When you hear “what is for me, is for me,” what do you think
about???
A. A way to cope with rejection?
B. Preparing for (possible) disappointment?
C. I wish they would just shut up, and face the facts that they were
rejected?
D. Something people say when they don’t know what to say in
disappointing moments?
E. The pep talk before you go into an audition, job interview,
business meeting, test…any type of pressured situation?
OR
Girl YOU Crazy…None of that!!!--- “What is for me is
for me”…is simply the truth. No disappointment or rejection involved…Hmph!
Now that I have your attention… Let’s talk about it!
As I gathered my thoughts together about this topic, I was reminded
of the choices we have, the decisions we make…
and the WHY!
+Why did I make this decision?
+Why am I living out this decision?
+Can I change my “why” later?
+Did I ask “why” before I made the decision?
+Can I justify my “why”?
ALL OF THAT!!!
And in all of that…you
think about “did I make those
decisions because I needed to or because I wanted to and I could…so I did.”
Hmmm…
You ever heard the
phrase... "Get out of your own
way!"???
Yes, No, Maybe…What?
It’s cool because I
will be referencing other clichés that I may or may not word properly (I get
close but I do better when I make up my own…yea)
Well…
Side Note: We are
going on a journey in this post, much like a conversation with me that goes in
many circles…Go get some snacks! But YOU will be happy when you get there…
And back to it!
When YOU, ME, WE start thinking about our why’s…”Get
out of your own way!” makes you think…maybe you
even get a little defensive but nevertheless… when you hear it, you wonder maybe “I am in my own way…”or “were my ‘whys’ justified…do they make sense???”
(Hmm…oh, its just me huh?…)
I realized that YOU,
ME, WE get in OUR own way, when YOU, Me, We forget -----> "What is for me is for me. "
Such as:
+We start to look around and think about what we don't have…
+Looking around at what others have…thinking that if we had what
they had then…
+Maybe I should take some of the paths they took…it seemed to work
for them…
Not recognizing that what we DO have is more
than enough to help lead us to the dreams that live within us.
GYC Commentary…but YOU,
ME, WE Know that it is a Rant:
Everyday we have choices that will either move us forward, keep
us where we are, or move us backwards. It is the decisions that have justifiable whys’ that “keep us looking at our own paper”…and
believing “if not this one, the next.”
All the cliché phrases lead to knowing that
what is meant for you to have… you will have if you realize that it is meant
for you to have.
Some of the reasons why
people stop going after their dreams is because they’re not sure if they have a
right to it…right now.
But you will never know what you have a right to… if you don’t put some seeds
in the ground and water them…
Last thoughts on “What is for me is for me” (and I’m done
with my journey):
I’ve realized that I can
make my own mistakes, walk down the wrong path, include the wrong people, and
say the wrong things…but my experience is my own experience that has built me
up to be the person I am today, and walk towards the dreams and goals I’m
designed to accomplish. What is for me
is for me and I don’t have to compete.
The route I take may not be popular and not include everyone
but it is my own story and I will tell it whatever way I please. Yes, yea,
sure, absolutely, I am tempted to quit, stop, look around, compare but when it
is all over, I want what belongs to me and me alone. Therefore, I fight my own
fight to get my own prize. Sure I have helped and will continue to help others
along the way but that is also a part of my fight…what is a part of yours?
“What is for me is for me and I don’t have to compete.”
Here are some GYC
Quotes for Thought and Deposit…that’s right take it all the way to the bank
baby! HA!:
“If you have seeds with enough sense to plant them and patience to
water them…you are the richest person!”
“Remain in remembrance of your own dream and purpose.”
“Don't get caught in a plan that is not connected to YOURS for they
will be the only one that moves forward. ”
