Recently, I read an post by Tyler Perry celebrating his twenty year anniversary in show business and was deeply moved from my stagnation.
"Today I celebrate my 20th anniversary in show business. It’s been an amazing journey, one that I will detail in my autobiography one day. You would be surprised, inspired, angry and blown away with what I've endured to be here, but until then I’d like to share a little inspiration with you. So many times we think that because one thing didn’t go as planned we should give up on it. So many people leave their dreams dying on the floor, gasping for air because it didn’t work out the first time. Be it marriage, business, children, faith, whatever your dream is, you can't give up because it didn’t go as planned. If I had walked away because it didn’t work you wouldn’t be reading this. I had to keep moving. Yes, there were setbacks. Yes, it was difficult, but I got to see my dreams come to pass because I never stopped moving forward, I never stopped praying and most of all I never stopped believing. DON’T STOP BELIEVING!!!! PLEASE DON’T STOP BELIEVING!!! Say this to yourself out loud right now: “DON’T STOP BELIEVING”, and repeat it to yourself whenever you doubt that you can make it." Tyler Perry
I finally realized; I only have a finite amount of time here to complete my purpose and I have even grown tired of my own excuses for not moving towards it. I may never know the fame or reach of Mr. Perry but I do believe that he and I share a common experience that was meant to bring awareness and light to those imprisoned by the veiled cloak over the reality of child abuse.
Jesus said in John 8:32 " That you will know the truth and the truth would set you free", but he never said it would be a bloody mess.
So, I will stand up and I will share my truth. And know that just as Jesus was beaten and despised I may be as well but I will have come full circle and fulfilled God's Purpose for me.
