The FEAR of failure.

The fear of failure will have you stagnant and not taking advantage of your opportunities. Let’s just say this, you are going to fail, HOWEVER, you will grow and get back up stronger. It is a part of life. We are not perfect and the fear of the unknown is just how life is set up. The way life is setup for you is to build you into a strong being and to be able to teach others. What’s life without a story/testimony. Only how you can be relatable if you fail and fail, and then succeed. If all you knew was someone success story and not how they got there you wouldn’t be able to relate. Everyone with money or without, education or no education, with more resources or less will fail. It’s bound to happen just know. Accept each failure as a lesson and move forward. As you get back up, don’t forget to tell someone how you got to win. Not telling someone is being selfish, because you can save someone time and maybe the same decisions you made.

Many people think failure is something really negative, but that’s their perception. My perception of failure is positive. I look at failure as an opportunity to learn. It helps me find what works for me and what does not. It’s a part of life and something that shouldn’t be taken personally. It happens.

Take risks and chances. You never know until you just do it. Take chances, so you won’t ever have to think what if and have regrets. I keep saying this, but you never know what comes out of taking a chance.

NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF or YOUR DREAMS.

Don't allow anyone to downplay your life!!!

Don’t allow anyone to downplay your life.

Don’t allow anyone to downplay your life.

Don’t allow anyone to downplay your life.

I say this three times because people fall victim to others downplaying their life. Just because you are now visiting a place someone has visited numerous of times, do not allow it to affect your thoughts on the place. I am tired people thinking they are living these lavish lives and downplaying someone’s life. It’s not cool. I am tired of the perpetrator and the victim. Your life is the way it needs to be! You should be able to do things without someone trying to downplay what you’re doing.

Live your life to the fullest. I don’t care what the next person has! Your life is good for you. Don’t keep looking at what others have done or doing. One day you are going to see, they may be doing a lot now, but watch how life switches. Be patient with your life. 

Don’t allow anyone to downplay your life. It is so vital. I see it happening too often. People downplay people’s jobs. Don’t hate on no one hustle. You don’t know person’s circumstances or why they are doing the things they are doing. Please don’t be quick to judge.

Pet Peeve: DON’T ALLOW ANYONE TO DOWNPLAY YOUR ART, KNOWLEDGE, ACHIEVEMENT, SUCCESSES or BLESSINGS.

You cannot help what God has blessed you with! Don’t ever feel bad for your blessings. They are yours and God gave them to you for a reason. Just because you have received your blessings does not give you the right to downplay some else blessings.  

Don’t let anyone play you!

Learn. Grow. Evolve.

Each and every day we should be learning, growing, and evolving. There is a lesson behind everything that goes on in our lives. As we learn, we grow, and as we grow, we evolve. I pray and affirm my life that I am learning, growing, and evolving. The opposite of this is being stagnant.  Being stagnant blocks blessings and opportunities. If everything seems to be standstill you may want to look internally to see what it is. A lot of things happen in our lives, but sometimes we try to ignore the things that are happening. This habit will not last that long.

It’s going to take time. It will not happen overnight. Learn to be patient with yourself, life, love, and others. When it comes to learning things about yourself and life, it will not always be a quick understanding. Somethings take more time. Just take everything you learn with grace and love. You don’t want to learn something and then forget and have to relearn it all over again. More than likely this will happen.

Learn yourself, grow, and evolve into a warrior. It’s a continuous process so don’t ever think you’re done because you’re not. That’s the beauty of life it keeps going and you keep learning.

Always give it 100%!

Whatever effort you put in, you will be rewarded for your hard work. When you are doing things try to put your all into it. Reasoning is because when things don’t fall through you could know that you gave your all and things simply just did not work out. You’ll know things did not work out because of other reasons, but not for you trying your hardest.

When you are productive and doing all that it takes, you’ll be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. When you do great things, you deserve to have an abundance of blessings.

I noticed that some people do things, but they don’t do it wholeheartedly. It’s like their mind is somewhere else or they’re too lazy. I rather put the work in and know that I am not the reason for blocking any blessings.

You cannot complain about the work you did not put in! Always give it 100%!

YOU are worthy of YOUR Blessings

YOU ARE WORTHY OF YOUR BLESSINGS!!!!!!

I do not care what you have done wrong, you are worthy of your blessings. You deserve it. God forgives, even when it’s hard to forgive ourselves. We have to treat ourselves better. Give ourselves the unconditional love that we give to our parents and/or children. When you continue to let your light shine, God blesses you with more. Especially when you have been patient. When you are going through trying times and you don’t give up on your faith, just know a storm of blessings are about to rain down.

If you don’t believe it, God will continue to show you how worthy you are of your blessings.

Have a great week!

Continue to always let your light shine, stay positive, and be great!

Own your actions!

Why do people throw others under the bus? Look when people are asking about you, make sure you discuss what you are doing and not other people actions. It doesn’t matter about the circumstances or situation, when talking to others just talk about yourself and your doing.

A lot of times people do not like to own their actions because they feel how you have described them could never be. It is like they are stubborn to their own personality. They believe it is someone else, but it could never be them. The ones who feel like they are never the problem is the problem.

If you do something, own your actions and move forward. Do not make excuses or try to blame others for your own doing. We all make mistakes. Just know that your mistakes do not make you who you are, it’s only after you keep making the same mistake does.

Treat others how you want to be treated. Be mindful of how you treat people and your actions towards them. If you put out good, then good returns back to you.

Remember, God sees everything.

Asking for Support

It can be difficult if you’re not used to asking or receiving support. If you want something to have the recognition you are going to need support. You cannot do it alone. There are people who know more people than you. They can help. Support is a two-way street. When someone supports you, make sure you support them back! It is vital. Especially if it aligns with who you are. If you don't return the support, then you cannot be mad when people don't support you. You have to be kind and nice to others. 

When it comes to asking others to support you, get out your comfort zone! The only person judging you is you. I don’t care if you haven’t talked to someone in years ask for their support. You will never know until you ask.

When I first started my blog site, I didn’t know how to promote me to others or how to ask for their support. I was nervous and haven’t spoken to some people in years. I told myself to be bold. What is the worst thing that could happen? Thus far, I have received a lot of support and I am more than thankful.

Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there you just never know who is willing to help!

God is OUR SECURITY

The only security we should ever look for is God security, not through man. So vital and important! This should be a key reminder for each and every day, THE ONLY SECURITY WE NEED IS GOD SECURITY.

There are many people who lack faith and will continue to make decisions that are not good for them because they are scared to take a leap of faith. It’s people with jobs they dislike because the money is their security. In a world like this I can understand. No one wants to struggle. We all are trying to be comfortable, but what’s comfortable may or may not be best for us. Crazy, but that’s how life works. We have to do things that make us uncomfortable because that is where the blessings and many opportunities will present itself.

Money means a lot, but it is not everything. Don’t choose money over your soul or be 30 and unhappy. Continuously ask God to order your steps.

I will tell you this, when you are fulfilling your purpose and being patient with God, he will bless you in ways you can not even imagine. You will be so amazed and filled with joy because you are doing something you love and being rewarded with blessings. Do not get caught up with making decisions based on money and not what internally makes you happy. It can be good for now, but perhaps not in the future.

Build your relationship with God and put your trust in him! HE will not fail you!
