It's Time to Overcome!

Over a period of months, I found myself more and more often, wondering what had happened. Where had the self confidence, the feeling of invincibility, the bravado, gone. Why had the success that had once been so easy, and predictable, all but dissappeared. And what did I have to do to get it back ?

This constant questioning was becoming habitual. The more I searched and wondered, the more helpless I felt. But it wasn't just that I was feeling bad, things weren't working like they usded to. " I mean I'm not imagining this, it's just not working any more, everything I've achieved I'm losing". "I've got to work this out quick".

But nothing changed. The more I wondered and searched, the worse I felt, and the worse things got.

One day as I sat in my usual spot going over the weeks and months losses, searching for an answer as to where I had gone wrong, there was music playing in the background.

I sat there, feeling like superman, chained to a huge piece of kriptonite. I started listening to the words of the song that was playing.

"Here it comes again, slowly creeping in".

"It settles in it's place, a shadow in my face. It's pressure in my day".

"This life, well it's slipping right through my hands. These days turned out nothing like I had planned". "Control, well it's slipping through my hands".

It seemed as though the singer new exactly what I was thinking and feeling, and had sung it back to me. As if to say "hey wake up, this is what you are doing".

I thought, could it be that I have done this to myself ? Could it be that the voice within my mind, that had once been my champion, had turned on me and become my enemy ? Working against me, weakening me. Stripping me of my confidence, faith and strength.

Over the next week I stopped searching, stopped wondering,and stopped all negative talk in my mind.

I started making strong, powerful, positive statements about myself and my circumstances, in my mind and aloud, everyday. I even spoke and thought with a more authoritive tone.

Over a period of a week my personality changed, and I began noticing how different I felt.

Confidence was coming back.

The world was changing, "Was everything in my world obeying this voice ?" 

The future seemed unlimited once again, and I was looking forward to the challenges of life instead of being afraid of them.

It felt like an old friend, who had gone missing, had returned. 

A friend who was fearless and dependable.

My greatest friend had returned.

Not long after he returned success in all areas came back as well.
