Black in classic

Don’t give up so easy. That was the lesson that I learned today and it was all because of a bagel and strawberry cream cheese. However, there is a back story here that is critical to understanding the significance in this message. About a week ago, I had stumbled across an Instagram video on the explore page that basically said it’s okay to rush your glow up. The message was to stop waiting for it to happen and thinking that’s the way it should happen. You have to rush it and push for it to happen. That video hit me hard because as a certified procrastinator I stall at doing EVERYTHING. But, at that moment I realized I was just waiting for God’s miracle to happen. I wasn’t working to towards it.

Now fast forward, to this bagel and strawberry cream cheese. I ordered the 2 for $4 at Dunkin’ Donuts and asked for strawberry cream cheese. I paid for my food, got my food and rushed to work. When I got to work, I took out one bagel only to realize that it was a toasted dry bagel. I was LIVID. I knew what I asked for, but I didn’t receive it. So I sucked it up and ate the dry bagel. Mad as ever. When I reached to check the second bagel, something told me to look at the bottom of the bag. And there it was two strawberry cream cheese spreads. I laughed at first, but then I teared up because I realized had I kept going and checked the bag I would had what I wanted all along. That was the message from God.

Sometimes we cannot give up so easy, we have to dig a little deeper, work a little harder and what we want will be right there for us. I gave up immediately when I didn’t get what I wanted. I didn’t think twice about what else might be in the bag. I learned not to give up on myself and to trust that what I want will always be. It may not come how you anticipate, but it will be there. I expected the bagel to have the spread already applied and when it wasn’t I gave up. In life, we anticipate and expect certain things but that’s not always how it will happen.  It’s okay to push and rush for what you want. It’s not denying the process. It’s trusting and moving with the process. It’s about not eating the dry toasted bagel but searching for more. Seeking more. Don’t settle for bs. Demand more or the Devil will take you out of here one dry bagel at a time.
