one of my favorite American TV series is 'Prison Break'.. I rate the series high alongsides '24 Hours' and 'Suits' amidst others..
I'm no fan of 100% horror and violence/action.. my all time best movies always have these qualites >> perfect usage of English words laced with clichés,, intellectual quotes,, quick thinking,, maaad ass brainy moves and maneuvers,, sarcasms,, puns,, putdowns,, rich slangs and most importantly,, instant witty comebacks.. I'm a fan of wit over brawn,, so I luuuurv movies that's got those qualities.. 'Prison Break' and 'Suits' has got em in abundance..
I'm not here to bore no one with my horrible taste in movies,, I just wanna make a reference to a scene in 'Prison Break' that kinda stuck out and inspired me..
One of the villains in the movie 'Prison Break' is Theodore Bagwell (a.k.a T-Bags).. A foxy devilish cray man that had this unique quality of anticipating the moves of others and checkmating em even before they make their first move.. He was a terror to all of em.. He was feared even by his fellow criminals.. He lost an arm in the early parts of Season 2.. (Lol. The cray guy knew others will gang up and kill him once they scaled the prison walls,, so he handcuffed himself to Micheal Scofield and swallowed the key! They couldn't kill him.. But John Abruzzi- a crazier man,, chopped off his arm)
Despite losing an arm,, T-Bags was still a terror to many.. He managed to survive and never stopped chasing money and freedom- what a man! He even killed a couple able bodied men despite him being an handicap.. He was brave,, foxy,, smart and very determined..
Oops sorry! I'm deviating already..
But here comes why I'd always love T-Bags>>>
in one of the scenes after losing an arm,, someone (a certain doctor,, I think) referred to him as an invalid and called him an HANDICAP.. but T-Bag replied thus -- "I am not handicapped,, actually I see myself as HANDY-CAPABLE!''
That means he's as efficient as anyone out there..
That is the attitude of a winner.. He refused to accept limitations.. He refused to make excuses and wallow in self-pity..
I love that attitude..
I love people who'd say ''I'm not handicap,, I just dont have a right hand''
I love people who'd say ''I'm not a stammerer,, I just speak a little slower''
I love people who'd say ''I'm not a dwarf,, I'm just not as tall as most people''
I love people who'd say ''I'm not dull,, I have a brain,, I just pick up things slower than others do''
We need to start living without excuses.. Dwell on what you can do.. Focus on your gifts and unique qualities..
We need to turn every liability we have into special ability/assets.. There are no disadvantages with our God.. We have everything we need to succeed..
Refuse to feel sorry for yourself.. Shake off self-pity.. Reject limitations.. Make no excuses.. The worst handicaps are the ones we place on ourselves.. Don't be bitter about nothing and don't settle for less in anything.. Don't let nobody play on your supposed ''weakness''..
What is your handicap?? I've got none! You are more than capable>> HANDY-CAPABLE!
Let nothing keep you from believing in yourself and pursuing Ur divine destiny..
Believe in yourself.. Don't let nothing put you down.. You've been anointed and empowered by God.. There are no limitations with him.. You are an Eagle,, remember?? Rise like a Phoenix.. Soar like an Eagle..
Think positive..
Stay positive..
