Goliath who?

Many of us have felt defeated in life at some point.  Whether it was tied to a relationship, a friendship, a job, weight loss, exercising, raising kids . .at some point the feeling of defeat was overwhelming.  If you know anything about David and Goliath, you are aware that Goliath was a giant and David was a small boy.  Problems in life are just that . . .Goliath! There have been times when although I didn't feel like I was defeated, I was.  As women we have that "push through it" mentality.  We were created this way.  So it's what we know and what we do . . most of us anyway.

During the demise of my relationship, I felt defeated.  Here I go again with another failed marriage.  Then I had to take a real look at what was going on.  Yes I am the common denominator.  One would think that I am clearly the problem.  Well if we're being totally honest here . . I'm the common denominator because I chose to be.  I allowed many things to go on because I didn't address them in the proper fashion.  Those issues were Goliath in my life and I felt defeated.  Then one day, I decided I was done with it.  I asked the question Goliath who?  I found my David.  I found my strength in my voice and in my actions.

The problem with being Goliath is the fall.  You fall hard because you're big and overpowering but lack the stability mentally and emotionally.  Until you are able to address what your truths are and unmask every part of you . .you will always be a victim of defeat.  Some can't allow others to see into their truth because they want a cheerleading section of dysfunction.  They need to be the victim; otherwise there is no attention given.  Mind you . .it's attention that is not helpful in their growth . . but that's neither here nor there.  The goal is to function in dysfunction as "normal" as possible.  Nothing is normal about not knowing or acknowledging you are wrong in a situation.  If you're always justifying what is not . . you will always be Goliath.

David was small and just a boy.  What he did have was emotional stamina.  He was able to strategically figure out how to overcome defeat.  It had nothing to do with strength.  It was all about getting into Goliath's head so that he could overpower him.  You have to be able to get into your own head to beat Goliath at his own game.  Stop allowing people to dictate your happiness by their inadequacies. BE DAVID as you empower yourself while yelling Goliath who?  Know your worth and justify your existence to those who already accept you for who you are and not what they want you to be.  Goliath who?
