It is Never Too Late!

Dear Dreamer,

When I woke up this morning, I realized I was not dreaming.  My heart is filled with joy and my spirit filled with happiness and laughter. To complete the hard work that is required to become a doctor was very challenging. However, it pales in comparison to my life experiences.

Go to school, get good grades, pass, then your promoted.  On the other hand, go to school, get bad grades, fail, then you will have to do the class all over again. However, life is a little bit different. In life, you live, make good decisions, reap the benefits. On the other hand, when you make bad decisions in life, the consequences may last a lifetime. There are no retakes or make ups once a bad decision is made. However, it is never too late to become conscious of who you really are and make choices that will put you on a healthier path.

The benefits of good decisions are available for anyone to reap. This is my life story and how I chose to make good life decisions and create a legacy that will go on for many generations to come. It is never too late to implement good decision making, change, and grow spiritually! 

Many Blessing 

Dr. Monique Walker

Unsilent

I have spent the last 4 years of my life running and hiding from a very dark past

Hoping that my past would just disappear and I would be free at last

Free to be me no longer feeling guilt, anger, or shame   

Free to live a normal life, no longer dwelling in self-blame

Self-hate, distorted self-image, low self-esteem

Absent self-worth, no time to pursue my dreams

Because dreaming is a crime when you live in chaos

My thoughts were too foggy to even get them across

Trying to hold it together when out with others

Putting on the façade of being an unbothered mother

Truth be told, I was burdened by holding this ugly secret

A secret that damages whoever chooses to keep it

It is a secret called domestic violence

It is that dirty shameful secret that keeps victims silent

Today is the day that I choose to share my pain

No longer weighed down by guilt, anger, and shame

By the way, that secret is no longer safe with me 

Because God has given me confirmation that I am free

Free to be me, pursue my dreams, no more secrets

Free to lead a fruitful life without regrets

The moral of the story is no matter what you’re going through

Rely on God to turn all your experiences to good use 

Make This Moment Count

As time continues to go by, some questions come to mind...Am I as productive as I can be?  What are my short term goals? Long term goals? Am I any closer to accomplishing my goals at this moment?  What should my focus be at this time?  Am I being the best me that I can be?

As time continues to go by I realize that I am merely an existence in this moment.  As a matter of fact, we are all a mere existence in this moment of time.  So, why not make the biggest impact possible?  Build an outstanding legacy that will impact many generations to come. Help others who are in need.  Function in our God-given purposes.  Start a movement.  Trendset!

Don't spend too much time planning because time will keep moving with or without you.  The right time for you do whatever it is you want to do is right now.  Think about it...Where do you want to be 5 years from now?  10 years from now?  Are you being as productive as you can be?  What are you doing to accomplish your goals at this moment in time?  These questions should become your daily norm because challenging yourself only makes you a stronger, more confident, and ultimately a more successful you.  Remember...we only have this moment, so make it count!
