Overcome

Yesterday we withstood. Today we overcome. We move on into the future, only taking from the past which we may find useful. This isn't as easy as I make it seem, in fact I still struggle with this issue from time to time, and plenty in the past. Once we make up our minds to overcome we are free to move into the next phases our our lives. If that means cutting some ties, so be it. Some folks can't forget the struggles you been through, and they will never let you forget about your lowest points, you become your lowest point in their minds. We must remember that we are not defined by how others perceive us. If we our true to ourselves our destiny cannot be denied, when we withstand the negativity in our lives, we are then able to move past the proverbial "smokescreen" that negativity and negative people produce. I just tell myself, the past is the past, you can't run circles in your mind about things that could have been different. The only thing that does is distract your from opportunities to build a better you. Overcoming is also different from withstanding, withstanding is defensive, we curl into a ball and and weather the storm, while overcoming is offensive, we must take the fight to the enemy. We must control those thoughts about negativity in the past, it doesn't just happen. We must remove ourselves from negativity and seperate ourselves from those who seek to keep us at a level of mediocrity. It takes practice, but we can do it together, are you with me? So let's overcome everday, the past is dead, today is alive. So whatever it is my friend, you can overcome it. Negativity in the form of persons, situations, or areas of residence can be changed, if you are really willing to let go and become better than you are today. Overcome. Don't look back. Live your true destiny. Let's work on it together.
