How many of us really can defy people who keeps on pulling us down?
Recently, one of our Core Team members received a message and it goes like this, “Stop sending us an email, as what I have emailed you, your talk is boring and uninteresting. Your program won’t be successful".
One of our new Core Team members also shared to us her experience when she was doing one of the final tasks to finally become part of the community. This is what she got from her friends. “If you will simply just remain a doctor, we will support you but going into a business, you cannot expect us to support you”.
We have another coach here, before becoming a coach, was told by a mom of her friend. “You know, don’t be ambitious, be an employee that would be better for you”
I’m sure at some point in your life, you have encountered these kinds of gravity pulling you down. You have encountered people who will simply stop you from moving (not just forward) but upward. Sad to say, a lot of us, at some point succumed to different kinds of gravity.
Have you experienced being told by someone:
1. You will never be successful.
2. You will never be wealthy.
3. Better stick to what you are doing, you will not succeed in other things.
4. You will never be good enough.
5. You are ugly.
6. You are poor. Always will be.
7. Your dreams are too big. That won’t happen.
8. You cannot afford it.
9. You are no good at that.
10. There’s no future in this country. Quit daydreaming.
And etc. etc. etc. That's gravity pulling you down.
We have bad news for you. The more you hold on to your dreams, the greater the gravity.
However, everytime gravity pulls you down, ask yourself, how come birds can fly? and ask yourself, how many birds are flying? If they can fly and defy gravity why can’t I? And lastly, are birds flying with other birds or with animals that cannot fly?
Learn to fly with people who've learned to fly. Let us defy gravity. Yes, it is difficult, IN THE BEGINNING, however, when you've finally learned it, you'll see the world from a new perspective and then you will realize you'd want those who matters to you, see what you've seen and experienced and the only way that would happen is teach them how to fly as well.
That is what we are doing. This country deserves to be great. We want to teach people to take the first step and open up their wings and learn to fly and defy gravity for their family, for their community, for their country and for the glory of God.
The view is great. That we can guarantee. The thing is, you need to trust yourself that YOU CAN DEFY GRAVITY. LEAP and we will be there for you.
Finally, I want to share this video with you and I wish that the spirit of Easter brings you new life and new beginnings. This song is from the Broadway musical "Wicked" and was sang in the hit TV show, "Glee". May you find wisdom in the lyrics of this song and that you finally decide to never let anyone bring you down as you move upward towards your dreams.
