CONQUER YOURSELF

Recently, I came across a touching story from social media of a lady-Jessica Cox (in pictures above) born without arms and yet has become the world’s first licensed pilot without arms. This is absolutely unbelievable and simply stunning. Most questions one would ask could be: “how did she do it”? “what even made her think that it’s possible to be a pilot without arms”?, “was she crazy”? Equally, “how did the family perceive her pursuit”?, “how did the trainer accept this impossible challenge”? While the list of mind bubbling questions can go on, the fact is, she made it and leaving her dreams against all circumstance through her unwavering faith in herself.

The bottom line is, the champion is within you, it begins with your mind. Most common used defence mechanism is that, “I can’t do this”, “I can’t meet this challenge”, “I was born on the wrong side of the tracks”, and others negativities. Regrettably with such statements, you are just impregnating your mind with negative thoughts, blocking your own good thereby bring lack, limitation and frustration into your life.

Dr. Josephy Murphy has indicated that, “think good, and good follows, think evil and evil follows”. You are what you think all day long. If Jessica Cox, Nick Vujicic and others thought that life without arms and limbs respectively is impossible to leave, they could have not accomplished what they have.

Desist from saying, “I can’t”. Overcome that fear of pursing your passions by substituting the following affirmation, “I can do it”, and simply do it, act and there are a number of good people in families and our circles who are willing to help us reach our destinations. Remember that you have the capacity to choose life as you are the master of your soul and the captain of your ship. Nothing and no one will stop you, the only obstacle is yourself and you therefore need to conquer yourself. 

God bless!
