I truly feel like you have to be in a state of mind that forces you to prioritize what works best for you! This sounds so generic but it’s much deeper than that. Let me explain. Things that work best for you include, removing yourself, asserting yourself, self assessment, situational assessments, and most of all honesty with yourself before literally anything else! Don’t be afraid of whose feelings you hurt, be afraid of those who won’t acknowledge your feelings because it’s in their best interest that they don’t. It will benefit them if you're uncomfortable and they know it 100% but will not acknowledge...
There are so many people that have all sorts of theories on how to move forward and get over hard or uneasy times. I would need more hands if I ever tried to count how many ways I’ve tried to deal with hardship and adversity. The times where I thought I was ok, out of nowhere I would be hit with random demons (for lack of better terminology). Now, I am not perfect at all. In fact, I still battle demons from my childhood, things that happened so long ago that I shouldn't even remember and even things that have happened recently. I can tell you now that if you’re reading this and it sounds like you....
I have to write this because it's a form of therapy for me… and it's free of charge. I could very well write this down and stash it away in a traditional journal and place a lock on it while I carry the key on the same keychain as my car keys. I choose to post this for the world to see in hopes that there is someone out there that can relate to what I'm writing that needs to hear this and it will ultimately help you. I write to inspire and make an impact to the best of my ability. I am not famous. I don't have a strong following. People aren't dying to hear/read what I have to say. I am but just...
You’ve been praying hard and working even harder. At this time you've asked yourself a million times “ Why haven’t I gotten to the place I've been working so hard to be?” I want you to think about a few things. What are the things you are doing? What are you going so hard at? Maybe it's time to take a deeper dive at what you are focusing on. I heard someone say that there is a difference between someone who knows how to shoot and someone who knows how to snipe. Think about those movies where you've seen the most amazing shooting scenes ever. I mean, people running and gunning. They have all the...
Societal validation is the root of most evil these days, I vow to promote the importance of SELF love and SELF validation and anything after is nothing more than an added bonus. We have to embrace our flaws and love ourselves before anything else I’ve lived my life without validation.. accomplished the biggest things in my life on my own.. I hate attention and when you compliment me, I think there’s a hidden agenda. I used to crave it. I thought that someone needed to tell me a good job or keep up the good work in order for me to feel ok. While it is nice to hear it, I no longer need it because...
I find it so hard to relate to those who have no work ethic. The reasoning, whatever it may be just can’t be justified. I’m one sided on this part because I was given nothing, prompted to do anything, and has had what feels like everything taken from me. So forgive me if I’m a little detached from that part of thinking. Everyday is a risk. Honestly, any news article or news broadcast can tell you. Everything is right in front of your face when it comes to the amount of people that either die everyday or lose an opportunity they, at some point, felt they were destined to take advantage of. Yes,...
I am sure that at some point in your life you have felt like there are so many things that are more important than you. Rather this feeling has been driven by the people around you, something you've seen on social media, routine lifestyle, or that may be just the kind of person you are. During this time, you've forgotten about yourself. Honestly, ask yourself, when was the last time you did something that benefitted only you and no one else. If you were to do something it wouldn't make or break anyone's day, this one particular thing is all for you. You are so in a routine, you truly believe the...
After so many changes in life I guess one should take time to sit down and reflect on what life means again. At one point you may have thought you figured it out, and in that moment, you probably have. You have your goals that you have met, you have gotten yourself out of that dark, rocky place you’ve been in, and you were finally able to breathe again… But life.. Here you are, watching these obstacles attack you from every way. Some you can see coming and others just blindside you and all you can do is watch, or so it seems. The most important part of being a good human being is the response to...
Here it is guys! It’s taken me forever to get back to this and there has not been a day that I didn’t miss it. In some instances, I would like to think that I needed this. I blame nothing but life itself for the delay. Since my last post in January of 2018, I have gotten my dream job, had a beautiful baby girl, got married and got a beautiful house. ALL of which keep me super busy. Though I have been really busy, I have to stop and take the few seconds I do get to breathe, to thank god and remind myself that I am truly blessed. So why? Why in the world am I back after all this time? It’s not like...
It’s something about mentality that is still so misunderstood but it should be fairly simple… I can’t imagine my mind belonging to me but I have no control over it. How is it that something so precious and ultimately yours, still somehow be altered by people that have absolutely no rights to it? You cannot be so scared of what’s yours. — I suggest learning it in its most raw form… You can mold it and have to explain it to no one but you. — I see it so much and I have even been victim of it before… It took me to understand what I was doing and why I was doing it for me to fix it. So, I’m going to...
