Shalee Speaks

Life is a Competition Within Oneself

                Each day of your life we are in a competition with our self. Anything we want to do in life, we have to know and understand that we are our greatest obstacle. Nothing can come up against you stronger than your very own self. Often times I will think of something or an idea and in the blink of an eye I have already talked myself out of it.

                Hopes and dreams are not often stolen by other people, but by ourselves. We have to give ourselves a chance to thrive. A chance to make our own places in this cold world that we live in. As Oprah stated in the finale show of her show, we have to look past our insecurities of thinking that we are not good enough or not talented enough or in fact worthy enough. Those ways of thinking are only blocking our blessings. Each day that you get up, now you should fight and proclaim that you are somebody and you will not be afraid of yourself, but simply embrace yourself.
