Dare to be You!
Greetings Warriors
What an amazing journey has been for me working towards my personal growth as I have been working hard and zealously to accomplish my goals which have required a lot of sacrifices
For the most part I am proud and recognize that we don’t need to have everything we want in life.
It takes tenacity and courage to confront those odds that put limit on your path, including unwelcome situations, dangerous places, toxic relatives and relationships.
When you are born with a star to mark the difference in the world there will be always obstacles that will oppose your mission in your destiny.
Therefore, you need to arm yourself with the best shield possible, that is your Faith and trust in God’s almighty power, because he built you up already with the necessary tools to defeat the devil and he knows you well to deliver the mission you were entrusted with to accomplish it.
Talking about those odds, I will never forget the day my mother confessed to me that she had asked God to kill me
The reason why she said such atrocity was because I was suffering deeply at the hands of my violent and volatile father and she was unable to defend me from him, specially when he physically abused me, most of the times with no reason.
You see I was their first born baby and although he welcomed me for being his first born he would have preferred me to be a boy.
In those early years of my life my father was determined to change the course of my destiny by dressing me up like a boy and teaching me how to use a machete to cut grass in the field as an example
One morning momma was struggling to comb my very tangled hair. My father saw her in the struggle and offered to help. He then took me into the bathroom took one of his razors and shaved my head off!
Could you imagine how I felt when I saw myself in the mirror? I was scared, I felt miserable and I cried every time I looked my head shining like a billiard ball.
His intentions were to take me to the jungle of his beloved Chocó to work in the land that my grandfather had left to him.
My father did not give too much value to his daughters at home. He said he would prefer having boys so they could help him out working the land to make a farm.
That painful memory was one of many when I was growing up, and I was just 6 years old then.
My mother also told me the Lord answered to her with a “No, let her live because she has great things to do”
You don’t imagine how those words touched my soul and engraved themselves into my mind to this day.
I paused for a moment and gave thanks to God the almighty for carrying me in his hands when I thought I did not have any opportunity to live in this world.
I also tried to understand my mom who unsuccessfully tried to stop my father from hurting me because she got hit by him too.
You see, I grew up in a very indifferent and violent environment at home in which women’s value was null. I was constantly tortured by the mockery of my siblings and classmates at school because they thought I was too ugly, too old, too tall and too chubby and strong looking like a man according to them.
Their behavior towards me made me feel as the most insignificant human being in mother earth and I developed a very deep low self esteem.
Here comes MUSIC!
💃🏻💃🏻🎸😄🎶🎤🎼
The time passed by until one day I was blessed with the power of singing_just like that_then writing songs came along, and surprisingly enough I started healing within.
Later on, I have my first guitar. My godmother gave it to me in my birthday. I learned to play it by ear and it helped me to develop my songwriting skills.
The grace of my almighty God has covered me since then and in his grace I live every day of my life, striving to be better and trying my best to exercise my talents to praise Him, enjoy his presents and serving others.
Every time I see the wonders of Mother Nature I realize how Great God is with all of us, and how awesome he is with me.
I sit down at the park for a moment and I reflect upon the road I have already walked. I surprise myself by thinking about how long I had walked, failed and started all over again by defeating those odds, and that is called Life.🙂
Then I understand that we are all called to walk our own road with the best intention possible to be great at it and also grateful.
As this tiny little yellow flower in the park which dared to shine in the corner of all those others red beautiful flowers, I myself dared to take a leap of faith and tried the unexpected.
One day the one who felt so little and insignificant by being rejected by the others became an Artist of life to touch free souls significantly.
Therefore I say to you, no matter how many the odds are or how little you may feel you should shine your little light as this tiny flower did.
Your light will shine in the universe by touching the souls and the hearts of those like us who dare to be themselves regardless of what the social standards entail or what others want you to be.
As that tiny yellow flower shone in the field let us shine with everything we have not to satisfy our ego, but to touch the free souls in the world who dare to be different, bold and authentic.
Long live the ones who dare to be real with themselves without relying on others perceptions, approval and opinions
Let’s celebrate life together 😃💐
