...And So It Was Written

My, my, my, my, my...

The strangest, yet most motivating thing happened to me today. It was worth a blog, because it isn't the first time something of this nature has happened to me.

I'm not one to toot my horn...well at least not at the expense of undermining someone else's shine (I believe the spotlight sheds enough light for everyone who has sense enough to stand in it) but for some reason, people take to me. I can't explain it...but there's something about me that some people "see" (whatever that means).

I'm sure we've all heard people tell us, "you're special", "you're gonna be somebody some day" or any phrase of that nature. Our families and our friends keep us encouraged with words like that, and for a number of people those words are true. Clearly, there is no shortage of talent in this world. The world is damn gifted.

Today, while I aimlessly spent some time on Twitter a "follower" as they're called (but I damn near want to call her my homegirl) @HoodChicGonCorp said something so real and so stirring to me...

@HoodChicGonCorp: @ihartdanada im glad u see dat...I have an eye for greatness...so if you fail at life ...it's your own fault..! (fyi)

That's some real shit to say to someone you've never met, but have only spoken to via a social networking site. It hit me right then, that I have to get out and make sure I follow God's plan for me first, and second make sure I'm following my heart. The feeling of greatness is all in me folks!!! (lol)

I felt so motivated by that tweet, because as I said previously, I've heard things like that from people before, I've come to see I have a knack for speaking. I find it funny when people assume that I speak with ghetto diction and country twang (which sometimes I do), but then they are otherwise surprised when I'm fully capable of speaking with eloquence and articulation. I love that! Save your judgements and stereotypes for those who don't know any better...I enjoy proving you wrong! (lol)

Anyway, we all have that shine in us. We do. Let's not allow the entrapments of the world keep us from reaching and exceeding our full potential.

In the words of Diddy...LET'S GO!!!!!!
