Hello, my name is Angela Alexander, author and inspirational speaker of my autobiography titled, ‘Miracles in Action’.As my siblings and I grew older, my mother could not shield us from the inevitable—peer pressure. At Big Hamilton Elementary School, my peers tried to get me to choose between smoking and their friendship. My dreams for the future gave me the confidence I needed to allow my destiny to override my physical surroundings. Because the visions of my dreams remained constant and full of great wonders, I withstood it all. Some of my siblings, on the other hand, gave in. I saw their downward spiral firsthand. David my brother, it seemed, caught the worst of it. The consumption of drugs and alcohol altered his mind and life forever.
There’s an old familiar saying that’s so true, “Birds of the feather flock together.” The picture of your future, will be taken by the people in your present, and wherever you find yourself, you made the appointment to be there. You may not be able to change your destiny overnight, but you can change your direction.
Instead of giving in to peer pressure and allowing others to speak into your, you need to talk to yourself. The thinking that got you into your situation is not the same thinking that’s going to get you out. Daily you mentally prepare yourself for victory or defeat. Prayer plus action changes things. Each morning wake up and give thanks to God for your past, present, future blessings, and watch them multiply and magnify.
“Imagine your goal. Hold that image in your consciousness. Keep that image always before you, and your goal will materialize.”
I invite you to share your inspirational testimony so others will be blessed as well. Please send your message to beinspired@faithfilledstilettos.com, and place ‘Be Inspired’ in the subject line.
They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. Revelation 12:11
