Perfect Timing

Everything happens for a reason. Like you coming to my blog page. It just so happens to be the right place and right time just like everything you do. It is so amazing how people come into our lives unexpectedly or things happens for us at the right moment. I find it amazing that when you need something, a blessing appears. That is nothing, but God.

Every moment, is the right moment and time. God’s timing is perfect. So perfect that sometimes we may not understand and then later we have an aha moment. Whether you are going through a tough time, just know that everything is happening for a reason. God puts us in situations just to see if we will remain faithful to him. Our faith is always being tested. A previous post, I wrote about not worrying, in each moment instead of worrying just know you will get past the situation…this too shall pass.

Each part of your day is a piece of the puzzle that creates the finish product. Each moment plays a part, regardless if you choose to see it or not. Whatever the case may be, just know in life you will always come out winning if you have God.

You are never too busy!

You are never too busy. Ever! You make time for what you want and if you don't, then you don't want it as bad. Seriously, today people make so many excuses like I'm busy working or I'm busy doing so and so. Okay, just be honest and say I do have time, but not for your needs at the current moment. Really life doesn't have to be so difficult. You really have more than enough time no matter how much you say you don't. Prioritize your time and its importance. Some things only take a second and it can definitely be a difference to the outcome.  

Never be too busy to spend time with your family.

Never be too busy to pick up the phone. 

Never be too busy for anything. 

Remember, there are a lot of things that are temporary. Make time for the things that are important. Too many times people say "oh, I forgot, I was too busy" you give your attention to what's important to you. 

Even if you are busy make sure you take time out for you. The time with yourself is important because if you're going at a fast paced God will slow you down. 

Prioritize your time and know that you or anyone else is never too busy for the things that are important. 

Don't be afraid to express how you feel!

Don't allow anyone to tell you how you should feel. Ever! Your emotions and feelings are yours. If you want to cry, then cry. It is not considered to be weak when you express yourself. We are taught if we express ourselves, then we are weak. No! Expressing yourself makes you strong. The person who doesn't express their self is just holding on to a lot. When you have the opportunity to express yourself, do so. Do not ignore how you feel for the sake of how someone will take it. When you start to sugarcoat things, it's equivalent to you approving their behavior.

If you feel a certain way, speak up. For me communicating has always been interesting. It is something that I work on daily. I try to make sure I am handling situations properly and that I am being heard.

Miscommunication causes a lot of confusion. Many people think that others know how to read minds, but they don’t. The best way to express your feeling is to talk to the person verbally. I don't advise people to text their feelings only because things can be misinterpreted easily.

Cry, laugh, be sad, happy, and all your other emotions, but feel them. Those are yours! Don't let anyone make you feel like you can't express your feelings. It makes you who you are...beautiful. 

When people forget what you have done...

The feeling is horrible and you would hate to throw all the things you have done in someone face. When you do things it is out of kindness. However, people are quick to say you don’t do enough. I am not sure where this stamina of people doing that, but it is annoying to the person who does a lot. This is happening with close friends and family who knows you most.

All types of things run through your mind like: Should I start writing the things I do down? No one simply has time for that or the person who lacks appreciation. Clearly, what you have done for someone is not enough and they are greedy for more.

Moving forward. Let your light shine. Just because someone reacts and say you don’t do enough, know that God knows the truth and so do you. There are many people who do not pay attention to things that are being done for them. It can be very frustrating; however, God is working on them. It happens, but don’t take it too personally. We as people tend to forget our smallest blessings daily, but God still loves us. Although, it is a natural reaction to look at the person crazy, just simply give them a few reminders of what you have done, and still love them! Perhaps they feel they need more help and support.  Simply it shows they do not have the same capabilities as you. And that’s okay because we are all learning, growing, and evolving into the person we were here to be. As I always say here to be Great.

Love what you do!

Most times we want to do things that are easy. Like working for a job that pays a lot of money, but mourn going to work every morning. We all have a choice. We can choose to do what we were called to do or we can suffer in misery. You shouldn’t be hustling for weekends. It makes things better when you love what you do. You can be able approach situations in a different light and genuinely help others!

God forces us to do things that make us uncomfortable. Trust the process! Everything is going to work out. Trust and believe. I promise you. The first step is to let go fear and begin your new journey.

Doing what we want to do may cause a lot of sacrificing, but it will be so rewarding. You will thank yourself, I promise you. It will take a lot of patience. A lot of patience with yourself, your craft, and the things that are happening for you.

It can be frustrating when others don’t support or understand your process. There will be people that understand and there will be others that don’t. That’s okay. Love what you do. You have absolutely no time to waste or settle for things you don’t want to do. 

Relax and Be present!

Take a breather. Relax. I see people running around making their self-sick. Your health and wellbeing is very important. You deserve to enjoy life and the fruits of your labor. You don't work hard just to keep working harder. 

Life is extremely short. Relax and be present. You owe it to yourself. 

Take some time out to enjoy you. You don't always have to be on the go. Enjoy the people that surround you. Allow your work time to be your work time and that's it. Do not bring work problems home. You have to learn how to differentiate the two. Focus on what you need to focus on for that moment and then learn how to disengage yourself. You may think others do not care about you not being there, but they do. In some way it will affect your relationship. You only have one life, enjoy it. Relax and be present. There's no need to stress about time. 

Why worry?

If you worry, will it help your situation? Honestly, no.  It'll make things worse. Things are going to happen, how they are supposed to happen. If you don't worry, will it help your situation? Yes. I always tell myself and others, pray without ceasing.

It doesn't matter if you worry or don't worry life will happen. Worrying doesn't help your situation at ALL. If anything, it adds on stress and more problems. When you have God there is no need to worry. He has all things under control. God is always in control. 

What's going to happen will happen. Worrying doesn't make your situation better. Just know everything is working out for your good. You may not see it now, but it is! Trust and believe. 

Worrying doesn't solve problems, leaving it to God does!

Assumptions

Assume and you’ll make an ass out of you and me. If you do not know, ask. Simple, right? Assume and you will be hurting and having others confused about the rationalization you came up with.

Why do we assume what we don’t know? Is it a learned habit? Something that makes sense in our head? I don’t understand. Before you assume:

• Ask the source
• If you don’t understand, ask the source for clarification
• Need any more information, ask the source

Assuming is a bad way of trying to communicate with someone. It is like you are creating a false idea and projecting it onto the person without them having a say. Simply ask the source! There is a different between a gut feeling, assuming, and being wrong. Know the difference. It definitely can be frustrating for the receiving end.

Being open and communicating will solve many of our problems. We do not want to create problems, if they are not there. If something does not apply to you move forward, but if the shoe fits approach the person.

Let’s not assume it makes things much simpler in life.
