REACH, HIGHER




Lyrics of the song REACH   (Gloria Estefan)

Some dreams live on in time forever
Those dreams, you want with all your heart
And I’ll do whatever it takes
Follow through with the promise I made
Put it all on the line
What I hoped for at last will be mine

If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I’m gonna be stronger
Know I’ve tried my very best
I’d put my spirit to the test
If I could reach

Some days are meant to be remembered
Those days we rise above the stars
So I’ll go the distance this time
See the more higher I climb
That the more I believe
All the more that this dream will be mine

If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I’m gonna be stronger
Know I’ve tried my very best
I’d put my spirit to the test
If I could reach

If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
I’m gonna be stronger
From that one moment in my life
I’m gonna be so much stronger yes I am
I’ve tried my very best
I’d put my spirit to the test
If I could reach
If I could, if I could
If I could reach
Reach, I’d reach, I’d reach
I’d reach  I’d reach so much higher
Be stronger

How wonderful to be able to reach higher and higher, go beyond our limits, know our highest potential, face all the challenges with courage and complete belief in our abilities and strengths.

Need help

     May be my today's post is not like previous ones, in my previous posts I was always doing my best to be positive and focus on every positive aspects in my life. How I learned to improve my life and how I learned that my life and my happiness are my own responsibility. Yes my beliefs and my thoughts shape my life. It's up to me to focus on the positive or the negative.


     But during the past two weeks I was totally drained because of someone in my life who is careless and negligent. Someone who doesn't care a lot about what I want?, what hurts me?, what annoys me?, and although I keep telling them, they always find excuses for what they do. I told them about it in all possible ways but nothing changed. I feel really powerless. The situation that is coming up repeatedly is not the only one, there is a big baggage from the past that I am trying hard to let go but it shows up with every new unpleasant situation. The impact of all of that is not just some annoyances but it shows physically as pain in different parts of my body, stomach pain, IBS and headaches.


I really feel powerless and all what I was repeating to myself as being positive, taking responsibility, responding and not reacting,  focusing on the blessings and being grateful isn't working any more. I need help.
