Using What I Have To Get What I Want.

I am spending time in this space of using what I have to get what I want. It is my desire to do so. I believe the frustration in life comes when we are constantly looking outside of ourselves for the answers and not being able to find any. If I reside here, I'm forced to focus on myself and my abilities. I also have to acknowledge what I can contribute to my life and well being outside of the norm. I'm forced to discover what makes me unique and special and different from everyone else, even if what I have to offer has similar attributes, qualities and features.

I'm forced to focus on me. Now as a woman, this can be and has been a challenging task, especially because I'm a mother. And if you're a mother like me, you know this is easier said than done but in order to be here, I must fight. I must fight for my right to be okay with acknowledging what I already know that I have. I must also fight for the space I need to discover how to use what I already know that I have in order to get what I want and be open enough to get to know the new parts of me I aquired during my growth. I also must feel good about what I have and heal from every wound I have aquired from every attack against me and my possessions that has made me feel that what I have is not good enough. That's the biggest of the battle. But if I can get over that, I have won.

Using what I have to get what I want is not a new concept. Every celebrity you see has done it and is doing it so I feel that it is necessary to remove what separates me from them. This concept is so old, it's in the bible. Here take a look.

2 Kings 4New International Version (NIV)

The Widow’s Olive Oil
4 The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.”

2 Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?”

“Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.”

3 Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. 4 Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.”

5 She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. 6 When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.”

But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.

7 She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.”
