What an amazing group of words that popped into my mind..…hmm “The Legacy of A Legend Within Me”! As I was walking I had to stop and take out my handy dandy little pen and the paper receipt of some items that I purchased to write it down on. Now, yes I have a massive brain and I am not that old (hahaha) that I can’t remember but it was the power of the words that came to me that let me know that it is very important to me and to the world.
When we think of the word legacy what or who do you think of? Of course you know the drill (fill in the blank)? Well good ol Encarta says –something from the past. “Something that is handed down or remains from a previous generation or time”. Hmmm what a prolific way to think of this on those terms! To be honest I never really thought of it in that vain. But why today? Why now? I know that the words legacy or legend always seemed to be connected to someone or something of significant stature you know like Martin Luther King, JFK, Muhammad Ali, Gandhi and Mother Theresa to name a few. They were legends to who created a legacy which is so phenomenal! I never really heard it attached to an everyday person like me. So is this for me to recognize my talents that will put me in the Legacy or Legend category or both as I would surely accept that honor and hold it high on a pedestal. Should I begin to make my acceptance speech to note everyone and everything that has helped me to get to Legacy or Legend status or is it something that I need to ride out alone in silence?
Often I tend to walk around and observe people in their element and I say there element because they look at me as if I am a stranger. What makes me a stranger is basically I wasn’t born here. But as in all things we have the ability to read, learn and gather information. And next thing you know WHAM I am learning the language, eating the foods, and embracing that part of the world. Ideally that is correct I wasn’t born here but I am here right where I am supposed to be at this time in my life. Now that I got that out of the way let’s get back to My Legacy…My Legend!!!
From my inception, (Day 1) my first breath towards the Legacy via the Legend began. Again, we look to citizens of the world that we feel that has done something outstanding (held at high esteem) and we give them the titles and the labels. But what about me…what about me and my journey, my steps! All of that makes me who I am and it is a part of me in so many ways. It is indoctrinated in my mind and branded in my soul I mean otherwise my existence would be void, the abyss, gosh totally nonexistence. But I know that is not true as I was given life for a reason. I Dawn have a reason for being here on this earth. I have a reason to look the way that I do! To speak the way that I speak! To think the way that I think! And to embrace the world the way that I am! So with that alone I AM LEGEND!!! (And No I am not talking about the movie with Will Smith) I am talking about creating a Legacy!
When I play back all the scenes of my life that I can remember from the wee little steps that I made to the giant leaps that I am making now. Isn’t that grounds for being honored in that elite echelon of greatness! I mean really why would I want to settle? Why would I want to live a mediocre life or accept within myself that I am not Supreme (Khi - wink)! To be honest my name should be presented to the masses as Queen Dawn (that has a cool ring to it)! My home is my Castle and my favorite Chair is my Throne. Can you imagine having that persona attached to your name! Just take a few minutes and say it Queen__________ (fill in the blank with your name) or King___________ (fill in the blank with your name)! I can picture me sitting there wearing the most luxurious fabrics (silks, velvets, chiffons) with the hottest jewelry big vibrant jewels (reds, greens, purples, yellow)! And OMG let’s not forget the CROWN and I am not talking a small one either mine probably would have two (2) tiers on it in solid gold. And as regal as they come I would have to walk standing straight up as an arrow to keep that heavy crown on the top of my head. I can hear Khi saying “don’t worry you have a big head so you should be able to keep in on without any problems” (hahaha)! And to the world that may be true but guess what it is my Crown on my Big ol Head! And as far as my imagination is stretched there is a sense of Elegance that comes with wearing a long gown, jewels with a crown and why not add a scepter just in case someone acts up I can hit them over the head with it. Did you really think they just carried them for show? So let’s imagine Queen Dawn in her regalia sitting on her throne with an awesome scepter awaiting the world to acknowledge her existence……
In a faraway land amongst my throne I feel my mother’s hand placed on my shoulder (shaking me) to wake me up from the most awesome dream ever??? Faintly I can hear her say Dawn wake up…wake up…you have to get up now. Man does she not realize that I am running things here in this dream...
I am Queen Dawn
I Rule and Reside over the Country of Dawn
The Town of Dawn
The State of Dawnnnnnnnnn!!!
And so forth…………
In other words I am running things in only the way that Dawn can
HAHAHA (I know I am silly TD but you know that is me ~ smile)
So in my most imaginative state I can truly say that I have experienced so much that my real life is actually catching up with. Hmmm…or I am running towards it. I have seen many places and walked many miles upon the sands of time. I have read many words that have captivated my mind and planted numerous seeds of the future. I have fertilized the tiny plants into trees of wisdom. I have climbed the highest mountains and searched for numerous rainbows on this foundation of land that we call home.
All of the metaphors that I have been referring to above indeed are the offspring of my existence. It is part of my soul that lives within the shell of the body that I occupy as my home...my castle (wink). My mind can be seen as a universal connection to the higher power. Within that power is the energy that is sent down from above. An electrical connection meshing from above and below. It is the most powerful electrical current ever to transcend from the heavens into my brain which creates an AWESOME visualization aka a Dream!
My motto for today is DREAM BIG!!! Why limit yourself to what you can be or accomplish in your lifetime or the many lifetimes that you are to encounter. By stifling your thoughts you stifle you riches, your glory, your reaching and touching the greatness within. Never ever think that there is not a reason why you are here. There is a reason; there is a need of your existence! There is a gift inside of you that is waiting to be unlocked with the key of life. The key that was placed inside of you when you arrived on this Planet called Earth. Each and every person has a purpose whether you believe it or not.
YOU are IMPORTANT TO THIS WORLD
YOU are IMPORTANT TO THIS PLANET
YOU are IMPORTANT TO THIS UNIVERSE
Upon your birth it was written that you have a purpose a reason for being within this existence. That you and you alone is the only one that can give this to the masses! The masses are awaiting your arrival KING________ or QUEEN________!
Rise from your throne, hold your head up high (remember you have on a crown on) raise your scepter and cast your thunderous voice amongst the masses. (I’m using my name but it can be changed to King/Queen – with your name also)
I Queen Dawn
Proclaim the following
I Queen Dawn is IMPORTANT TO THIS WORLD
I Queen Dawn is IMPORTANT TO THIS PLANET
I Queen Dawn is IMPORTANT TO THIS UNIVERSE
I Queen Dawn am IMPORTANT TO MANKIND…
I hereby Proclaim today as Queen Dawn’s Day of Awakening! A day of miracles beyond my imagination! A day of probabilities becoming possibilities.
A Day of Hope
Encouragement
Acknowledgement
Thankfulness
Gratitude
Love…
I am Thankful
I am Grateful
Acknowledge your existence no matter who you are….
This is your Life
This is your Time
You hold the Key
To your Present
To your Future
To your Destiny which you are the Legend
And this is your LEGACY!!!
Somehow deep down you already know what you want to be or become. The question is whether you will acknowledge and grab hold onto your internal truth of being (your gift)? Or do you live in the “I could have been” Mantra of Life. Success no matter in what form how big or small is the driving force to feeling as if you can stand on top of the world! Are you ready to take the steps required to be at your very best? Only time will tell…but as the sands of time continues to shift so does your thoughts, your actions, your flow! Your cans will turn into the “well I could have traveled the world but…”! Don’t let that stigma grab hold onto your soul and squeeze your ability to make whatever you want to be or do escape your will. Think about this… how do you know what you can do if you don’t try? How can you excel if you don’t put the task before you? When did the negative become a part of your existence? When do you decide to let your dreams fade and not pursue? To be honest you may not have the same questions in your head as I but I assure you they are similar. If at any time you have dreamed of anything that didn’t come to be in your life it is because you dreamed it but you did not put forth action to grasp it to bring it into your world.
You may be wondering how do I know because the very same words that are being poured into my head by the higher power is meant for me as well and to express to you as I am a mere vessel. In order for me to become the Artist, The Author, The Legend…The Legacy I must pursue, I must believe, I must acknowledge that YES my GIFT is shining though!!!
It is an excellent, wonderful, phenomenal, exuberant feeling of life! I am grabbing this part of my life with two (2) hands and not letting go…for I am LEGEND and this is my LEGACY!
