Talk is cheap! Your actions are screaming so loudly that I cannot hear what you are saying.
Even at the pressure points of life I try to keep my peace. Everyday is a test (that would be my yesterday); an obstacle course of people trying to knock you down, get under your skin, pull you back, open the door to discrimination, force you out the door of opportunity and take that little bit of "YOU" you have left.
My strength...
Things may not be perfect in life but for all it's worth.... I go to the gym to keep my peace!
I step through the doors, inhale, and BAM; I am immediately transported to another world. A world that is mine where there is no judgement, criticism, obstacles or pressures.
I select my music, pop in my earbuds, grab my weights and just like that I'm IN THE ZONE with all the emotional and mental mind numbing anxiety of stress melting away.
My pulse quickens, temperature rises...my movements are aggressive.... but I'm in control. I think of nothing but me; who I am and what I want.
I feel a transformation give rise...blood pumping, muscles tearing...the feel good pain.
I move through the workout like a beast...I'm empowered moving faster, stronger, harder.
Like always, my pulse finds itself in sync with the bass. It floods my ears, passes though my body and straps itself to nerves that play and pull me like a puppet.
I'm focused, pushing myself forward, raising the bar, defeating my enemies....
Last rep...
I inhale, one breath away from death, one step closer to heaven....
I exhale, open my eyes, and plumit back to earth...
Still Keeping My Peace
When you find joy in the midst of your difficulties, you're giving the enemy a black eye!
