BigEdThePoet's blog: "Love"

The world is what we make it. We speak things into existence. We never know what is possible until we try. It starts with the mind we have to think positive and then with the mouth we have to make sure we speak positivity. All doors can be opened and will be open once we master our mental and verbal abilities. It starts with thinking I can when you think you can you say you can and you will. I've found that the world mirrors us everything we put out there comes back to us. That's why we attract a certain kind of people to us. They are attracted to the persona we put out there in front of them to see. Yet keep in mind that persona is only a part of who we really are and not totally one hundred percent us. We keep who we truly are hidden away from the world for fear of showing our weaknesses and vulnerbilities yet still many people find those weaknesses and vulnerbilities. I've learned it pays to stand up for yourself and speak your mind. That's why they say closed mouths don't get fed if you don't tell someone how do you expect them to know. Words are very powerful and through the things that we do and say we give the world a good look at us and they decide if that want to stay or leave let us in or keep us out of their circle. I've had this discovery through poetry. Through my poetry I have gotten to say real feelings, viewpoints, and emotions that I have on various things and even I was surprised at how many people could relate to the things I say. They have been through the same things and got where I am coming from. It has been a very eye opening experience and I continue to enjoy it. When I'm at the open mic I am in my zone reading my poetry from my notebook. I get to vent it all out in verbal form and watch the response through it and after I am done. That is how life works if you believe in yourself strongly enough others are going to have to follow suit and believe in you. If you don't believe in yourself and are not sure of yourself the world follows suit and does the same. You don't have to be smug and arrogant yet you do have to have strong self confidence in yourself. When you have that strong self confidence you have the ability to move mountains and open doors that you would have thought were impossible to open. It is a turn on in business, and personal a person who is sure of themselves and able to sell themselves and their idea's to the world is always a plus. You think success, you speak success, and you live success. Mental, verbal, and the visual is living proof you are the truth.
