Have you ever experienced a little hardship during the week, nothing big but enough to cause a small struggle between the two you’s. Yes, the two you’s. We use to call them the good angel and the bad angel until we became older and realized that there is a struggle of two personalities inside of us, for some, there may be more. I have two people. Diana is the person sure of her purpose, understands where she is headed and executes plans to get us there. Dionna is the person who as soon as a bump in the road is very quick to ask the questions, “Why you are we here?” “Why cant we just go back to what we know?” “Why didn’t you listen to me and just play it safe?” “Can we go now?” Her voice just becomes so annoying and aggravating that it starts the fight between the two. At times, although I have gotten better, I find myself trying to rationalize the points between the two arguments. This then gets my emotions involved causing me to become tired and wanting to shut down from both voices. I know you understand exactly what I am talking about.
Although we try our best to settle the confusion between the two distinct voices, we should question why we should even become flustered? We have seen our fair share of disappointments and hardships, in the end, it all worked out for our best interest. It was through those hardships that we understood why certain things had to happen. A missed relationship and a painful past can lead to self-discovery. What you may have considered a missed opportunity may have developed mental and emotional persistence and endurance. We know these things, so why do we waver on not only what we know but on what we have experienced.
The two you’s. The struggle, the fight and sometimes you are stuck in the middle. I ask you, what are you wavering on that you already know to be true. The real question is why? Oh, the fight to be great. So it continues….
