BE A CHAMPION

BE A CHAMPION
January 31, 2020

Somewhat a rectangle

The length, 8 fts

and the breadth, 5fts 

The painting was done with a dark blue paint color.

The words written with somewhat white paint.

The dusty street was newly tared …

Each time I take a stroll I stop at this wall to feed my mind.

“You’re a champion you need no further validation or whatever to operate as one” was the inscription on the wall.

I love the feel and echoes at the knob of my heart reading it.

It’s almost like I just won against an opponent in a world heavyweight boxing fight… exhausted by the several punches I took from my opponent.

Only that here the words punched my average self and forced me to live up.

Thrilled by the judges announcing the victor. Looking at the wall I have to accept the outcome of who I had been. And if I have fallen below standards accepting my losses. Accepting losses makes me a winner. For you have to accept losing for you to win.

I love the inscription resonating cheers and admiration (now for myself) for I have to be my greatest cheerleader 

I enjoyed the moment especially on how it makes everyone’s cheers quiet and forced me to retrospect on how I really got here.

Right at the center of this feeling, my mind still active, I will embrace this energy to have a worthwhile day.
