Try A Triathlon: Matthew Bailey

Do not ever say that you can't do something if you have never tried. On July 17, 2015 a 9 year old diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy competed and finished the Castle Howard Triathlon in North Yorkshire, England. This boy's name was Bailey Matthews. He did what most adults couldn't even imagine accomplishing. His determination and will to do is all he needed to amount such a daunting task. Of course much planning and training took place but that is all a part of completing any given goal.

Inspired by his experience last year Bailey has organized a triathlon for kids with disabilities called the "Be More Bailey Triathlon". He has warmed so many hearts and inspired so many people. Now he is using his acclaim for the betterment of others. This is so great. One of the biggest thing anyone can do is be of good service to others. I saw him do a interview after the race and he said something so cute but encouraging "I figured I'd give it a try because tri is in triathlon."

I look at this story and say wow this kid has a lot of heart and has a big one as well. Because

you really have to dig deep to accomplish such a feat. The event consisted of a 50 meter swim, a 2.5 kilometer of bicycling and a 750 meter run. He affirmed his success. He told his father this is that this

is what I want to do. He set his own pace for training and he later completed the race. It takes alot of growth and focus focus for a person to achieve a goal. And young Matthews has the full package regardless of his disability.

So what can we take away from this story. I see that you must visualize what you want. Make a plan toward getting it. And stay persistent that you will achieve your goal. Say this to yourself "I am a winner.", "I control my destiny.", " I will be successful in any and everything that I set my mind too." I do hope that this story will invoke positive energy into every person that reads it.

Never Stop Believing - Maintain Your Faith

There comes a time in a man's life whereas he must yield to a greater power and let GOD lead him. Many people are to egocentric, bull headed or simply to afraid to act on GOD's word. Thank goodness I was not. 1 year ago to this date I asked my father in heaven for guidance and he answered me swiftly. I was working in a career path that I grew in financially fast, but I was unhappy and very stressed. To the point I felt I was getting ulcers. The stress level raised so high one day I got of from a long day of work and parked my work van. I got out of my vehicle to stretch and I passed out. I woke up about 3 minutes later with scrapes on my left arm and face. It was after office hours no one would have found me till the morning time if I had not regained consciousness. I realized I had to make a drastic change toward a positive direction in my life. Walking in blind faith I started a new leaf on life and i...

Learn to Love Yourself: Fight For Your Furture

This might sound cliche but it's the bold truth, that you have to fight for what you want. And the harder you scuffle the closer you come to obtaining it. That goes from everything in life from job promotions, respect in a relationship, equality among peers and on and on. Sometimes the battle is to move forward or away from someone or something. Never stop fighting. If you do that means you have let down your guard. If you let down your guard you give away the control you have over your life. This is part two of my "Learn to Love Yourself." Series. In part one I helped you find your true worth. This time around I will prepare you to become a warrior so you can brawl for it all. "Some people die at age 25..." - Benjamin Franklin. I first heard that quote from the world renowned Les Brown. The quote means some people give up on there true aspirations and dreams at age 25. Some people that we deem to be successful aren't exactly happy. This ...

New Beginings

Hello all. This post will be simple, raw, and thought provoking. I have decided to write all my furture blog content free form. Meaning whatever is on my mind for the week is what I'm posting. With that being said this blog post is about new beginings. First let me reintroduce myself. I am Lenwood Wilson, Jr.. Please do note the junior, lol. My nickname name growing up was Chip or Big Chip. The nickname name was given to me at birth. It was to symbolize that I would be like my father; ie "Chip off the old block!". My father wasn't around for me after age 5. I am glad to say the negative parts of his character never rubbed of on me. I grew up in the high crime city of Baltimore, MD U.S.A.. Primary none for sensless killings, drugs and H.I.V.. I was not a homebody and most of my friends where deep in the drug game. I made a conscious choice never to sell drug. I still hung out with my friends whether just chilling, b...
