A Thought for today!

There’s nothing wrong with hurting. There’s nothing wrong with tears, failures, fears or sorrows. These are emotions that we experience at different times in our life. It’s in these failing moments that we often discover our true strength. We unveiled the fact that we can rewrite our future, the past is the past, that we cannot change, but the beauty is! it cannot control you. Your imperfections will be the building block, your tears will be a pillar, your shame the cornerstone, your fears a shelter of acceptance, a haven of healing. This is the foundation of a new life. No one can define who you are. You are the writer, the editor and publisher of your story. Take your time, write it well, the world is waiting.

It’s A New Day to Change your Mindset

January 11, 2016 Paragonwords

Your task this week is to stop and listen to the voices in your head. The loud ones, the silent ones, the annoying ones, the warning ones. What are they telling you? What have you been ignoring? Normally we talk ourselves out of what needs to get done, we make excuses, we lower our expectations, we accept the norm.

Well, today you can change that, start by being still, quite your mind and listen. Tell yourself that every mistakes, every weakness, every low point in your life has brought you to this day. Stop apologizing for who you are. You are unique, courageous and strong and today is a beautiful day to change your mindset and change your life. african-daisy-3413_640

There’s Greatness Inside of You

January 11, 2016January 11, 2016 Paragonwords

You will never fit in

Never will you

Be one of them

Living in a world

That has accepted the norm

Refusing to open their eyes

To see the truth

To accept change

You were born

With greatness

Stirring in your bones

Now is the

Time to let it out

To stand strong

In the midst of

Discouragement

Defy the odds

Stand proud

Do what’s right

The Dawning Of a New Day ©

January 8, 2016 Paragonwords

I raised my voice and sing
Knowing that this time someone will listen,
Maybe they’ll say I was right
For they too will rejoice

In the dawning of a new day!

Today the world vibrates with the music of our ancestors!
From the far corners of the deep they’ve rejoiced
From the deep depression of their souls they’ve rejoiced
From tears stained with the blood of the innocent they’ve rejoiced
Up from the dust of the earth they’ve rejoiced.
And today, I too am rejoicing

For it’s a new day!

To cast our gaze upon the future
A new era has opened its arms to us,
To be empowered instead of discouraged
To make a difference instead of accepting the norm,
Rejecting the ideology of false believe

We can stop the decay of Society!

From infecting our minds
From rotting away the fabric
Of what makes us strong.
Today we stand proud!
Honoring the tears and the sacrifices of our ancestors
Because of their sacrifice our future is bright, our faith is strong,

Our hearts are alive!

With change that will unite us together
As one soul rejoicing in the dawning of a new day.
With every breath, with every song that
Plays in the heart of those seeking change

Today I will Rise

Mignight Hours

January 7, 2016 Paragonwords

Indulge my weakness
Feed this fearless hunger
Pour out your heart
Quench this daring passion
Come my love
Disrobe my burning soul
A simple taste of you
Is not enough
Stay and fill this
Sweet ache
That keeps me awake
In the lush
Hours of midnight ©
