THE LAST MINUTE. " RUN FREE"






 BUENOS DIAS!!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!, yes I am very happy this morning. Well, there is this friend of mine "I'm blushing" who had been upset with me for a while. Its over now!!! " lol". Before you start asking questions, lets go to " The Last Minute, Run Free ".
 Yes, this post has everything to do with my experience this morning as I went out to "chip out the second half" one of my many names for training.This experience is one that I feel would motivate us to a new day. I feel it would take us to a day we never thought was possible. I feel it would inspire the real you in there the inner you. Before I start please say to someone near you " Run Free" whisper it.  lol.

This morning at a little after 5am I woke up and went out to get my training on. I went to my spot and did some major league shadow boxing as my warm up and then started to run. I then proceeded to my obstacle course " self-made" and had a gruesome workout. It was so intense that I let go some tears after training. The tears came because I was able to do stuff I didn't think I could do at first. After this I went to do the final one mile run. I felt good running after such hard work at the obstacle course, I then got half way and decided to shuffle and throw combinations through out the other half  of the mile. As I approached a mark that stands for a quarter of a mile I had this deep feeling that I should turn around and go for it. I felt I should run as fast as I can till the end. I was soaked in sweat at this point,tired,aching from the obstacle course. I then heard in my head " run free" several times. As I looked to the other side of the road I suddenly say a Woman who wanted my services but was never around or somehow we couldn't reach an agreement. This Woman is at least 110kg. For her height and bone structure She is seriously overweight but I was shocked, she was "RUNNING" just before my take off point. Again I heard the voice again " run free", " run free", I saw an old Man almost beside me looking at me as though in awe of my dedication because of how much I was sweating. I heard it again " run free". Now with the Woman running,the Man looking at me and the very loud music from my music player I turned around and ran for my life, for eternity, for destiny, one of the best sprints I have ever ran in my life. I ran for my soul, I ran for everything that is worth running for. As I got to the end I raised my hands up and suddenly let out an involuntary scream that could be heard at least from 200 meters away.

Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them – a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

It’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challlenges, and I believe in myself.

My message, run, go for it!!! Let nothing limit you! Let nothing stop you!!! Attack!!! Run free, I know you feel tired,take all the inspiration around you. Look deep you would find a reason, you would see the light. Please, when you see that light, don't even think!!! Attack!!!, punch, kick, go!!! Let it be that there was nothing left in your tank!! Go!!! We all  have that last minute within us, find it, and run free. The GRACE OF GOD WOULD SEE YOU through. " I am a Christian and I believe in JESUS CHRIST. Let Love be the light, it would show you the way.   1 LOVE

THE CIGAR EFFECT





        Buenos Dias Mi Gente!!! Dios Te Bendiga!! " Good     Morning My People!!! GOD Bless you!!!. For those of you   who don't know the first part is in Spanish " Espanol" and the  English translation follows. Good Morning my people!This post has nothing to do directly with smoking but I was inspired to write this when I saw a Man smoking.

       I woke up early,talked to my GOD, and headed out to "chip out the second half" of of my many coded names for training. I did a brief warm up of shadow Boxing and then I started to run. As I got half way through the first mile I saw this Man smoking from a distance but I couldn't perceive the odour of the cigar. As I got close to Him I began to perceive the odour but it was not as strong. But by the time I had run almost a hundred meters past Him, I perceived the odour very strongly. It was as though He was right beside me and I started reacting to the smoke and trying to dodge the smoke down the road just when I thought it was far away in the past.


    Some of us are suffering from the Cigar effect, we have things in our,families,with our friend, ex boyfriends and girlfriends,ex husbands and wives that have so hurt us but we didn't know were were injured at the time. At the point where were thought we were home ad dry, we found out that we are actually bleeding and the wound is as fresh as it can be and is stopping us from seeing the bright future right in front of us. Instead of focusing on the future we start a new battle with the past. Those things we thought were long gone stare us right in the face.

A friend as me,how do we avoid the "smoke" ? I would say in life I have noticed that no matter how careful you are these smoke battles would always come. Although, I feel the more vigilant you are and careful about your emotions and commitments the lesser the chances are that you would get suffocated. The danger there is that you may not experience certain levels of Love that comes with just being yourself and open to change and trying new things. The so called danger might just be your own new day.


    As for me, I call its bluff!!!! Because although it may appear to be fresh,its truly in the past. It takes a lot of courage because the nostalgic effect can be enormous. You have to really embrace the grace of GOD and  then take steps to brush off the ill memories and move on. The ability to keep going, to keep moving forward is what makes the difference. I pray to my LORD and friend, GOD at times like this for GRACE and courage to stand on my own two and keep moving.

    I believe this post is for people out there who may be going through a tough time with decisions about their career,life partner,family, etcetera . This is time for us to look deep into LOVE " GOD " and HE would help us find a way. LOVE has been the light that has shown me the way. What about you ? ...........Have a Lovely  day and feel free to leave comments..... 1 LOVE

Dear Good Man.





Dear Good Man,

          I felt this deep urge to send this letter to you because I have an idea of what you are going through and I know how you feel. Its hard, I know but deep inside you there is a voice that knows you are tougher and can make it to the end if you don't give up.I was thinking about you good Man and I thought I should write this.


       
        I know your number one problem is how invisible you have become, the Women have prayed and fasted for you and by the Grace of GOD you showed up but somehow they did not see you. Some of you were seen but then were not felt, some spoke but were not heard,some touched but were not felt. Yes, I know how you feel. You see when JESUS CHRIST was here in the physical He faced the same challenges from His people. They need Him to do something "big" they didn't see HE was something big. You know He had to borrow a camel, they didn't realize who He was and they can not see you now.


    
           You complain about doing good and not being given credit for it or being heard at all but then the guys with the scams and tricks seem to be the most felt. Do you not remember Barabas, the one who was a known armed robber, a "correct criminal", a thief. When it was time for the people to choose between the one who only healed and said the truth to all people they didn't go for the "good guy". They went for popular opinion,what their friends would say and parents would think.




          Dear good Men, I understand you feel empty sometimes and feel like its not worth it but I tell you. The Boxer who would fight for 12 rounds trains twice as hard  for 24 rounds. The Boxers who fight for 6 rounds only train for 12 rounds, and the 4 rounder trains for 8 rounds. My point is you are going for the 12 rounder marriage, the 12 rounder business partner, the 12 rounder life style and that's why its so hard and seems like forever. But be strong and take courage because, it is written that no eye has seen nor ear heard or heart conceived the plans that GOD has for those who Love HIM and are called according to His purpose.

          I heard one of you say that they mocked you,well they mocked JESUS, they don't believe you, well they didn't believe Him, they insulted you, they spat on HIM , they killed Him but now by HIM they can't kill you. Is that not a beauty,is that not a " shot of adrenaline" into your system. Life has many twists and turns and they are sometime placed to check if you would change form after going through a sharp curve.The car that make the journey is the one that recognizes the curve, is able to maneuver its way around it and not run into it or stop moving because there is a curve ahead. The curve may slow you down for a bit but at the end you pedal down and keep going.





       One thing I can guarantee you is that at the end they would always turn back and confess that you were for real and came around.They would admit that they were blind, they were lazy and they were stubborn. You would be where you were destined to be and be grateful to GOD  that you went through it. At that time you would not be complaining like you are doing now. No, you wouldn't you would arise with Love and Joy like the a child then you really are inside.If the end is guaranteed to taste good, please hold on dear good Man.



 

        Lastly good Man, promise me this please. When they come back after all these years,weeks months,days or even decades. Please try to accommodate them,find a way to smile and share with them. Good Man,find a way to genuinely laugh because they all came together to mysteriously build your character.  Dear Good Man its said that all good things come to an end,I disagree because its always the best at the end when you leave this earth. Words, can't describe the Love an joy that's on the other side.I wish you all the best Sir.
