Breathe and Get Over It

Good Morning Strong Men and Women,

Have you ever been in a situation where you just keep trying over and over again to fix something or you try over and over again to understand what you will not understand?  Yes, me too, here was my lesson out of it, if it is meant to be fixed - it will, if you are meant to understand - you will.  It is really simple.  So, stop exhausting your energy working on a "junked car;" it is no good and will not work for you.  Sure, you may have feelings about leaving well enough alone, but, you will get over it. Take a good deep breath and make the beneficial decision to get over it.  Let's look at it this way, to try means to put in effort to achieve something.  Sometimes, to try is all that you can do, once you have done that enough times and see that there will be no change, and that no change is not good, then, step away.  Don't dismay yourself over that which is not bringing results of peace, joy or again change.

Let me share this with you, pay very close attention, are you ready for this? Here it is - Life is precious and too short, your life is too valuable, you are too valuable, your time is valuable, God made you not to suffer, but, to prosper, you deserve peace and joy, you matter more, you deserve the best, here is where I stop, but, I could go on and on........

Let me share something else with you........

God grant me the SERENITY to accept the things that I cannot change, the COURAGE to change the things I can and the WISDOM to know the difference........
This is the first part of the Serenity Prayer.  Someone great in my life said it to me one day and I am sharing it with you.  It made a difference for me.

Be more diligent in caring about yourself, move yourself up on your priority list right beneath God and work and live in that manner.  Because, unless you do this, how can you be any good to anyone else.  You have got to reconcile with the hard fact that some things, some people have to be left alone. Stop letting your joy be stolen over and over again, because, you keep trying over and over again to work on an issue that can not be resuscitated.  Cherish you more for the good of yourself.  Life is too short and your happiness and peace of mind are too important.  God does not want you to be heavy laden with that which He did not give you, in the first place.  As humans, too often, we go after something or someone that we feel we have to have and the creation of unhappiness begins.  God does not work in pain and dismay.  Think about it, pray about it, then breathe and get over it, for your sake.

I hope this video inspires you.  Be strong, you will be just fine. I did not say it would be easy, but, you will get through it and be fine.

This is a repost.

Hello Stong Men & Women,

You have been stopped in your tracks interrupted by that very thing that you have notoriously, dodged, ran from, side stepped and frankly, feared and you decide to take a chance and not run.  As you suspected or maybe not, it blows up and now regret grips your hand tightly to comfort your suspicion, to put you back on the running track and back in shape to dodge, run etc.   Well, everything is not going to work out all of the time, at least, you dared to try.  As the saying goes, "Nothinng beats a failure, but a try."  If you decided not to try, because you feared failure, you would have never learned that you can be open to give a chance to something that you have turned your back on for sooo long.  Disappointment may set in, but only give it a moment then move on.  Everything and everyone is not a good fit, but something or someone is.  It does not matter so much if things went good or bad, but, that you dared to try.  What others may deem as easy, may not be easy for you, the wonderful thing is,  if you are valued for trying, if you are worth it and special enough in giving it a chance, then, it will fall into place.  Be grateful about what you have learned, take the positive away from the lesson and let that part grow to enhance your future experiences.

I say to you that all of you are beautiful for trying, beautiful souls, beautiful minds, beautiful hearts.  Do not be discouraged and by all means, do not revert back to the old, but embrace the newness of what you have unlocked and opened.  Baby steps never hurt, but, keep stepping.  The right situation, the right person will meet you where you are - wherever that is, and will have no pains about showing you that you are worth the wait, the understanding, the talks, the time and so much more.

With that said, breathe deep and exhale:)

How To Believe

Hello Everyone,

Life is something that we can not predict it's every twist and turn, we hope, pray and anticipate.  This is where believing and faith comes into play.  We are not made to know everything, nor could we handle it if we did.  God knows how much we can bare and when we can bare it.  Thus, life happens.

So, how does one believe?  First, you must believe that God is almighty and that He keeps His word, no mater what.  We, however, must trust Him and look to Him for help.  One believes by accepting the fact that God may not come when we want Him, but, He is always on time.  One believes by surrendering worries upon Him and trusting that He will come through.  One believes by letting God be there through it all and yield not to how one perceives things should be, but, look forward to God's results, which will far exceed anything one could ever imagine.

I have learned that God is a true friend and wonderful heavenly Father.  He makes His presence known, when we need His shoulder to lean upon, He will let us lean as long as we need.  Someone very near and dear to me once recited the Serenity Prayer to me, I am so thankful.  It helped me so much.  I would always reflect on the first part.  I would like to share the entire prayer with you.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference. 
 Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

Believe that God will come through.

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.

Push Your Passion Repost

Hello Strong Men & Women,

Push your passion, be your purpose and give it all you've got.  If you want to sing, be the best crooner anyone has ever heard, if you want to be a musician, put your heart in every tune, if you want to be a leader, have the biggest nerve to stand alone if you must. Push your passion, be your purpose and give it all you've got.  What is your limit you ask?  Are you ready for the answer?  Your limit is 0.  You can go as far as you wish, once you believe.  There are no limits for you, only those made by you.

Push your passion, be your purpose and give it all you've got.  Pray always.

When You Don't Feel Ready For Change

Hello Strong Men & Women,

There comes a time in life when change is inevitable, but, we are just not ready.  The part of us that is not ready, is uncomfortable and can not see all that change will bring.  However, if it is for the better of your health, sanity or spiritual well being, then guess what, you are in for a pleasant surprise.  Many times, we become complacent in pain, misery, grief or meritocracy and there is no real vision or perception of change, it is too unfamiliar.  Complacency steals time, joy and dreams.  We are made to fulfill purpose in life, God does not want us to not live our purpose, nor does He want us to stay stuck in any situation.

Change can be shockingly painful, because, we realize that we may have to leave others behind that pull us down, let go of negative situations in our lives, give God control and do as He says and at times, it can really hurt.  However, it is what is best, if we truly want to be happy.

Change for the better can only make you better.  There is nothing that God can not do, so you know that He can step right in the middle of your situation and pull you to the top.  We only get (1) life and it is not for others to destroy, but for us to live and live it to the best of our ability.  We can not control others, but we can be in control of us.  We know in our hearts what is going to improve our life, it is the sigh of not wanting this to be our reality, but most times, it is.  Therefore, if we choose not to change, the situation will only stay the same or worsen.  My advice to you is to pray, tell God your fears, but also, give Him your trust.

You will be o.k. You may not be ready for change, change is ready for you.

I hope the song below inspires you.

The Honor Of Men

Hello Brothers, Uncles, Fathers, Nephews, Husbands and Sons

This is the very first Wednesday of "The Honor Of Men."  The series is intended to enlighten, encourage, educate and hopefully help to change how you may view yourself. I hope to have special guests that will give you a message of strength and hope.  I do not know how a man's life is everyday, I know that you make many sacrifices and swallow big pills for the sake of family, livelihood or other reasons.  I know that you have days like this, but you must begin to map out how you can truly live your dreams.  Faith is huge when it comes to success and progress and as you take steps toward your dreams, you will actually witness things falling into place.  But, you have to take a chance on you, with a clear focus on God.  Pray and move, pray some more than move, pray again than move.  The journey to your true destiny and purpose is a road that can only be traveled by you.  The path has your name on it, the destination spot is your future, so if it is already there for you, for what are you waiting?  I want you to listen to the video below and take in what is being said.  The words are coming from a man who knows the obstacles, the mountains to climb, how it feels to struggle and most of all how to overcome.  Believe, your change is coming.  The second video is of musical inspiration.

Are You Satisfied?

Hello Everyone,

How far are you willing to roll up your sleeves and work on all that you see in your future.  It is not an illusion; it is very real, you are actually seeing your tomorrow.  Your hopes and dreams you can imagine, because you can make them come true.

If others can dare to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and in fact live to tell about it, then why not take your steps.  Fear is not our companion, sure it will stick around, be there when your down, shadow you throughout your day, try to be your BFF, but it is up to us to give fear a ticket to ride the other way.

Everyday when you look in the mirror, tell yourself, I deserve it, I am worth it and I believe in me.  Then, go do something about you that makes success your story.

You Already Have What It Takes:)

Speak Out, Design Your Destiny, Be Encouraged

Hello everyone,

I have an announcement,  I am now on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/oreadea.trueness?ref=tn_tnmn
So, please visit and like me on Facebook, post comments too.

I am discovering that what my Dad told me and tells me over and over, "Oreadea, you are the architect of your destiny," is true.  I have always worked in the community volunteering and doing advocacy work, but it took an experience to bring me to true activism. I now know first hand what it is like to feel that you have no where to go after everyone you went to ignored you.  I can not say much at this time, but I can say from a stand of experience, that injustice has no place anywhere, we always think when we hear injustice that it is domestic violence, street violence on innocent people or racism, but no, it can raise its' ugly head most often than not in other places.

I just want to encourage silent sufferers, not just in possibly domestic violence situations, but other places as well, to speak out, you are stronger than you think.  If you remain silent, it will cause more harm than good.  Pray often and trust that God in heaven hears you and will carry you through.  Believe me when I say, he will have your back and step between you and those out to harm you for choosing not to remain silent.

So, I said that to say, I am not just deciding to take on such a charge out of simply being moved by stories of injustice, but I actually have my own story.  Take courage and believe in your strength no matter what, God will take care of you, it may not seem reasonable to say, do not worry, because you may be faced with decisions that impact your lively hood and life, but, God has got it, and He has got you.

As the architect of my destiny, I choose to be proactive and active in helping others to find their voices, to make a difference in society and to be able to provide encouragement to those who need it.  You too, are the architect of your destiny, the foundation that you decide to lay and the framework that you decide to create will hold up your dreams and be strong for you to build the life that you see for yourself.  Find your strength and build upon it.  No one can tear you down as long as God is building you up.
