When things go left...

Often times we have many things planned and we get none of it done. And that's okay. In a world where everyone is on their phone and there is so much to do, it is vital that we stay in the present moment and not worry about the things we need to get done. It will not be the end of the world if you decide to do nothing for the day. Being present means enjoying the time with what you have, the people that surrounds you, and simply that moment. 

You have to go with the flow of life. You cannot get mad about what isn't, just focus on what is. Stressing about things you have no control over is a waste of time! When you are stressed out it cause others to stress because of the energy that you possess. 

Have fun with life. Enjoy it. It's important how you spend your time. Every second you spend mad it could be spent being happy. Embrace the life you were given. The key to life is being balanced. You must work hard, but also be able to have fun. Understanding that everything happens for a reason and what's going to happen will happen. If you don't get things done that's okay, just don't turn it into a bad habit. Remember life can be very unpredictable. 

You will thank yourself later in life...do what you can!

Being BOLD and Aggressive.

If you want anything in life you must be bold and aggressive. You can’t just sit there and watch things happen. Life does not work that way. You must take control. You can lead your life or let life lead you. There must be a balance.

Being passive may get you a few places, but it won’t allow you to grow or test new skills and opportunities.

Being bold requires you getting out of your comfort zone. It’s very uncomfortable. However, it is very self-rewarding when you take the chance. There are many times I want to sit back and watch things unfold, but I don’t. I take a huge leap of faith and ask God to be with me as I am making decisions.

Taking risks and chances is a way you can be bold and aggressive. It is something you don’t really want to because of fear, but you know you are going to come out winning…as always.

Whether that maybe calling the job office you want, or promoting yourself to random people, get out there and be bold and aggressive. You never know what presents itself. Be open and allow positivity to attract you.

It's okay to ask for help!

We as people can be stubborn and prideful. It's okay to ask for help. The worst thing a person can say is no, but is a simple no really the worst thing in the world? If one person says no, you move along to the next person. You are worthy and just because one declines does not mean someone else will not accept.

Sometimes I don't like to ask for help, but I am growing on it daily. It's definitely not a comfort zone. When I do ask for help I am appreciative of the love and support I receive. Most times I receive more than I ask. Learning in life that if you don't speak up, you will miss out on so many blessings.

Rather you may be starting a business, need donations to help someone, or any type of help don't be afraid to ask someone. Don't be afraid. No one is stopping you, but you! You will be glad that you did ask someone! You never know who know who and what doors could possibly open. God blesses those who bless others.

If you need help just ask! Ask and you shall receive.

Are your priorities in order?

Are your priorities in order? Do you have a plan?

The first step to getting your priorities in order is having goals for yourself. There must be a start and end goal in order for everything in your life to be aligned. You want to have some type of structure within your life, especially when you have things to get done and accomplished.

To be honest, no one wants to be around someone who doesn’t have their priorities in order. We all are trying to be great in our own way.

I have many goals for myself. Every Sunday I prepare for my week and making sure there is some type of order. You want to make sure that you are continuing to step into your increase. As there is clarity within your life, there is also an increase of blessings, opportunities, and many more.

Having your priorities in order equates to you progressing within your life. If you don’t have your priorities in order, start now. Do better. You know there are external forces who wants you to be lazy and not do anything. However, you are going to make sure you are productive in following your purpose and fulfilling your fullest potential.

Help yourself, help a friend. Get your priorities straight and be patient!! Hard work, plus opportunity creates luck.

Stop entertaining nonsense!

You are what you allow. Stop entertaining nonsense!

Do not tolerate people foolishness! You do not have to accept what people say to you. Know who you are or people will tell you. People are so quick to point a finger at you and there’s three pointing right back at them. Understand when people come to you with negativity, it’s not about you it’s about them. They create stories in their head and it probably won’t make any sense to you. Do not take it personally. “Act, don’t react”.  In your mind you tell yourself to think twice before you speak and sometimes you do. But sometimes you slip up because the person keeps “attacking” you with their words. You don’t deserve that. No one does. Guard and protect yourself. Know that God is with you.

If you allow someone to disrespect you, they would do it countless of times until you say enough. Honestly, the person does not have respect for their selves so they treat you in the same matter. Not everyone that comes into your life or walk into your space always deserve your attention. Be careful because when you let certain people in, they are quick to turn on you.

Understand that God is working on them just like every day he is working with you. Honor yourself and make sure you are respecting yourself. How you treat yourself, others will follow suit.

How are you?

Three words that have a powerful impact on peoples’ lives. Asking someone “how are you?”  can make their day. Not too many people are concerned with others have going on in their lives. I guess you can say that people love to make the conversation based on the things they have going on. But really, how are you doing? Do you check up on yourself daily to see how you are feeling? Even if people don’t ask you, you have to make sure you are doing it for yourself. Make sure you are checking up on yourself and getting the proper care that your body and mind needs.

I know that sometimes people are amazed and shocked when I asked “how are they doing today?”. It is surprising how some people who take offense to the simple three words. They wonder “why are you asking me this?” I do not know why there could be a negative connotation that something is wrong with them. However, maybe some people don’t feel worthy to express their feelings because they feel like people do not care. Well, if you did not know, you are more than worthy. You deserved to be asked how are you feeling. There are people who do care, do not be confused by the select few who don’t.

These three words can express a sense of caring. Don’t be so caught up with yourself that you forget to check on someone. Family, friends, strangers, and anyone you happen to have a conversation with could use these three words. How you want others to treat you, you should do the same. Just because people do not ask you these three words regularly does not mean you don’t have to do it for others.

If someone asks how’s your day going, do not take offense, but simply be glad that someone was interested in how you were doing.

I believe there are people waiting and wanting to be asked, how is their day. Peace, love, and light to you.

Make someone’s day and be great!

Creating New Habits

Every morning and night I write in my journal. It is a habit I started in September of 2015. I went to Marshall's and bought 2 journals. Before then I had always put my thoughts on my phone, but I felt it would be easier to physically write with a pen and paper. One of my journals is for my thoughts and the other journal is for my affirmations. Writing has been so essential to my life. It is a commitment to myself. It does not matter if I get home late or anything, I always make time to write my thoughts. We all have people we talk to, but more than often we don’t express everything that is going on in our mind. When I am writing, I know I am not being judged and if I do then that means I am judging myself. In addition, writing has allowed me to be aware of myself, understand the things I like/dislike, my actions with others, and really to be free. My affirmations book has allowed me to be confident about ME and my life.

Another habit I have created recently was studying a topic a day.  The semester ended the beginning of the month. One of the reasons I am in school now because I love learning and seeing things from people perspective.  I decided since school was over, to find ways to stimulate my mind. I went to the store bought a composition book and I just google things that I want to learn. You really find some interesting, mind-blowing things.

Create good habits for yourself! Do something that may not make sense today, but will be worth it in your future.

What you do with your time is extremely important. There’s only 24 hours and you sleep for some of that. Use your time wisely by being great!
