How Great Do “They” Want Me to Be?
In my quest to discover how great I can be the universe has decided to test my resolve once more! In October 2005 I lost the use of my legs for quite a while because of suffering with a curved spine. In fact my first week without pain was in February 2006.
So imagine my annoyance when I woke up yesterday to find the pain has returned, full force! Only this time I am refusing to let it keep me in bed.
I spent most of last night up walking around continually saying the affirmations "i can heal myself, I release the need for this pain, I tap into the infinite source and wisdom of the universe to support me, I am healthy, I am strong"
Having suffered with this pain all day today I am not feeling as strong :0) but I just return to my affirmations.
Now all my training for my run (such that it was – twice on the exercise bike and a couple of walks!) will stop but hey, someone up there wants me doing less. Perhaps it’s also time to spend less time at this keyboard where anything between 5-10 hours of my life is spent here every single day!
If God is testing my resolve then he’s taking me pretty close to the edge! And a black woman on the edge is a hurricane waiting to happen. Luckily for God I am a black woman with "life tools and coping strategies" on the edge so that makes me just that little bit more tolerant ;0)
If you believe in the power of pray please send one my way!
About Diane Corriette
I write on this self development blog about building self confidence, and living a life of full self expression where you are free to be you. Being able to be confident is not so much about how you think but what you feel. To successfully build self confidence you must use your thoughts to create an image of who you want to be, and your emotions to help you feel this amazing new you and then visualise & focus on it until it becomes your reality.






It’s great when you can still feel a connection with people you have only met virtually.
