Remember when you were young and knew you were invincible? When you knew you could climb walls, trees and conquer the world? Or the day you graduated from high school, college, etc. and you were going to achieve all those wonderful dreams? Then life crept in with all its limitations, obstacles and doubts to box you into fear of losing, failing, and crossing the line?

Well it’s time to reclaim those childhood fortitude again! Recently, I visited Jamaica (land of my birth) and went swimming in one of its beautiful rivers, White River. Some of the folks I went with challenged me to jump off the side of the river from a rope into the water. I was terrified, but the 12-year-old boy, Junior, that was with us encouraged me. He said “Miss, you can do it. Jump!” We agreed to encourage each other…he was scared also, but he was willing to try.

Drawing on my inner child, I took hold of the rope, sent up a prayer and jumped. To my great surprise and pleasure, I thoroughly enjoyed the jump. I enjoyed it so much that I jumped a few more times. Junior accompanied me and we screamed with excitement. Sometimes it takes a child to remind you that you can do it. Junior certainly reminded me of this. We should believe in our abilities to accomplish the goals we desire to reach; just like children do.

What are you afraid of doing? What dreams did you lay aside, thinking you don’t have the ability to do it? Have a talk with your inner child, pray and JUMP! Keep Living a Diamond Life! Live a Life of Purpose on Invincible Monday.
