Strong Men & Women,
Negativity is toxic and we have to practice daily to be positive. Some people just have a good disposition and see the glass as half full, but, not everyone is wired that way, maybe, the environment in which they grew up was not too happy, this plays out in one's life. However, it is vital to purposefully seek to be positive, to think and talk positive. It is also vital to clear out the mind and get rid of old and new thoughts that are poisonous to you.
Prayer is so important in the process of renewing of the mind. If you are use to negative thoughts then it certainly is a process to change and maintain the change. One may change for a day, but the key is not to revert back to that which is toxic. Something that is toxic does not always have a sudden effect, but overtime it can take a toll on the mind, body and soul. So, it takes prayer, faith and effort to rid yourself of negativity. It is good to ask yourself, "what and possibly who is toxic to me and what steps do I need to take to capture all that is positive, so that I may be positive?" At times, this is in spite of, because, there are certain people that you may have to be around who are not necessarily positive, but you can not change that, however, you can pray for them and make sure not to take on any of their negative ways or let it affect your process to be positive. How do you do this? Well, first, make up in your mind that you are actively pursuing happiness and peace of mind. Although, you may be inside of a negative environment, you are going to think of the best way to not be of it and maintain your process. This may mean if a negative comment is made in your presence you tell yourself that you have no comment and that you will not engage in one, you may have to remove yourself from the environment for awhile and leave negative to its own space, you may have to begin to discover how to simply do things that bring you joy, you may need to consider having a talk with that person if they are significant in your life and give them a gentle notification that you are not about being negative and not to expect any conversations that are not positive from you.
Negativity brings on stress and is irritating to one's ability to just be. Constant negativity is no good and you have to work on replacing it with positive thoughts, people, things, reminders. Keep a scripture in mind or even written on paper and carry it in your pocket, but keep a reminder of where your head needs to stay. Keep combating the negative, it seems to have its own energy to thrive so, you have to have energy to thrive too, but with a positive attitude. Free yourself from negativity and plan to move your life to letting others keep their negative ways, not taking on negative conversations and understand that negativity is toxic.
Start today to make strides to really put positivity in front of you. Do not share in negativity, just do not take it on. Everyday, be productive to working on positive, and you will draw positive things and people your way.

When Someone Hurts You And You Need Peace Of Mind
Hello Strong Men & Women,
It seems that I have been having conversations with so many hurt or simply unhappy people lately. I feel compelled to blog on the subject. You know, I see hurt as something felt in a place that is considered indescribable and unreachable. Hurt can take one to a place of surrender, wherein, you give in to what you have been fighting against. For example, someone may be determined not to be emotionally affected by someone close to them that puts them down, but the day comes when everything makes for the perfect storm, that person's mood, the fact that they have begun to be affected by the person, even fatigue sets in and it happens, the melt down, when all emotions are on the loose and the pressure cooker explodes.
I had various conversations with individuals that touched on reasons why they feel hurt or unhappy. So, I am thinking, what can I say to ease their hurt or unhappiness, but it is good to listen at times, and say nothing other than a prayer in your heart. I am not an expert who can say do this and you will be rid of all hurt and unhappiness. But, I do know from experience that prayer and actively working on becoming strong is vital in healing. Sometimes, the people that we let into our lives do not have overall good intentions and do not reciprocate your kindness, real sense of friendship and genuine compassion for them. In some cases, there are relationships and friendships that are broken because one hurt the other.
I could go through many situations where people become hurt and unhappy. I will add that decisions we make are not always good ones and therefore, we somewhat dig our own ditch. But, what I want to do is encourage anyone reading this who is hurt and just can not figure out why this happened. First, I say, for every moment that you want to play back what happened, don't, pray instead, give yourself room to feel the sadness that it brings then be thankful for the revelation. Sometimes, when we see things after the fact, we get upset, which is human, but be thankful too that you know what you did not before. Second, I want to say, do not place blame on you for not seeing or maybe you did and decided to ignore signs. All you can do from here is take in the lesson and apply it to your future. Give yourself credit for even feeling hurt. Some people just are cold and care very little. Just to have feelings that are real and can be extended to another is in its own way a blessing. If you are caring and loving, remain that way. Do not become bitter and begin to build the highest emotional wall ever, just be thankful for the heart that you have to be kind, gentle, thoughtful, understanding and good, by no means does this make you gullible. It makes you human, living in God's light.
There is a video that I watched awhile ago and I heard the song sung by a different artist. The song is titled "Peace of Mind" sung by Lauryn Hill. During the time that she sung this song she was hurt and in tremendous pain over a breakup, the song gave her an outlet. Never feel that you can not recover from pain and unhappiness. It is a part of life's lessons and we have to learn to grow from them and be encouraged to move passed them. You can recover, you can find happiness, you can heal, you can find peace of mind. I have my own story too, so, I understand your hurt. Just never doubt God's power to heal your hurt. Let Him Be Your Peace Of Mind.

If You Don't, You Won't repost
There are places in life where we must make a decision to do or not to do. Life's cycle is perpetual, each year goes by with or without our cooperation. We may try to buy time, hold off on things, give ourselves reasons not to do, but guess what, the sun rises, then sets, the moon comes out and it starts all over again the next day. So, if you don't decide to believe in yourself and make your dreams come true, you won't become who you are meant to become.
Fear is our worst enemy, but it enjoys being cozy with us. Fear wants to be our very best friend. Why, so that it can conquer you in spite of the real fact that you have a dream and you know that you have a purpose. Fear is a bully that will only continue, if you let it. Here is the good news about fear. You have power over it. You can take fear along for a little while. What do I mean by this? What I mean is that in the beginning of your journey toward your dreams you may have a little nerves about it, which is fear, but then you must give fear the boot and step out on faith. So, this is just one moment worth of realization that you are really doing this, pursuing your dreams and after that, the boot.
It is o.k.. to envision, to close your eyes and day dream about becoming, but when does the becoming begin? You have to do, if you don't, you won't. Life is here for you to live on purpose and you were put in the cycle of life to live out something wonderful and make a mark on someone somewhere in this world. But if you don't, you won't.
I am just saying that all things are possible. This is scripture, so if you can not believe that you can do it, believe the scripture. If all things are possible, why aren't you included. We are all included. It is our own lack of faith in ourselves that keeps the possible from happening. I was about to say, just imagine you being who you were meant to be, it is time to do, to be, to stand in the place that your purpose has reserved for you.
Just a thought to encourage you. Don't dare to dream be the dream. If you don't, you won't.

Are You Comfortable?
Hello Strong Men & Women,
Do you feel quite content with where you are, but still have a dream? How can that be you ask? Well, it can happen by feeling that you have done pretty good for yourself, a decent job, financially fit and just satisfied. Then, you look at your dream and determine, it does not seem attainable, but that is no big deal, because........you are comfortable, no real complaints right?
Comfort does not necessarily equal true fulfillment, until you pursue your dreams and make them happen, you should not lay back in your easy chair. There is more life to be had. When we see dreams as being unattainable, that is when negative thoughts begin to tell you, "look at that dream, it is too far for you to reach," "You need to be satisfied with what you have accomplished, not many have done what you have done, stop trying to be so happy." Have you heard this one, "Why put yourself through the pressures of going after that dream, it is not worth facing its' challenges, you are afraid anyway?" All of this is just mental noise and has nothing to do with anything until, you listen to it.
Get out of being comfortable, step out of your comfort zone and start getting in motion. It does not have to be a quick motion. It is like riding a bike, the gears have to get in alignment, you have to repeatedly peddle for a nice smooth ride, but to get to that point, you start out with a slow peddling motion, you have to hold on to the handle bars to really get some momentum, but if you just stay in motion, keep peddling......guess what, it begins to happen, it gets easier and now you can ride with no hands. Hills maybe in the path, but, if you keep peddling, you will make it to the top, because you stayed in motion. As fun as biking is, it is not always easy, it takes effort, safety gear, which for us, is ...prayer. However, along the way, you will see beautiful scenes, you may meet others who share your ambitions, there will be nice smooth surfaces. It will not happen if you do not try and to your surprise, you might become uncomfortable.
My message is, do not consider comfortable as where you should be. If you do not have dreams and are truly satisfied, then, be comfortable. This does not pertain to you. But, if you have this burning desire that just will not leave you alone, then you need to get in motion and stay in motion. Do not stop because of negative thoughts or even negative comments from others. This has always been my feeling, those that do not support my dreams did not make me. He who crafted and created me and wired me a certain way has given me this dream, ultimately, the dream is actually my purpose. So, my dream constantly nudges me and keeps me in motion. I am going to keep peddling until I get there. So, for you, please keep peddling too:)
