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:)

You Got This
Greetings Strong Men & Women,
Yes, I know, it is Thursday and you are so ready for Friday, but, you got this. You may be on a job where you are tired and ready to go home, some are your own boss and you are tired of that too. But, you must push through the rest of this week and give these last couple of days your best. Don't let these next couple of days be ruined by anyone that you may encounter. Just remember words are just words and how you choose to respond is the game changer for your mindset. Not every comment deserves your time nor attention. Not every action warrants your reaction.
I need you to focus, get your head in the game and end this week with a bang. You got this, if you need to write out a to do list to keep you on track, do it. If you need to take a small break and walk a moment, do it. The power to make the rest of this week a success is in your control. Watch the video below and grab your motivation. Why, because, you got this.....

You Can Overcome
Hello Strong Men & Women,
O.k., lately, life has been an uphill battle, the struggle is real and you are feeling fatigue. Guess what, you are not alone in this. Everyday is an intentional effort to have one more meeting, to improve, to make one more phone call, to deal with one more problem and to tolerate one more person dancing on your one last nerve. Let me encourage you and myself. Life is going to present many challenges in many ways. It all gets you ready for the next level. It feels like a bunch of hoops and hurdles and many times, it is, but we must stay prayed up and never give up. Let God be our Guide.
I hope the videos below encourage you and convince you to keep going.

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.

Stop Breaking Your Own Heart
Hello Strong Men & Women,
I posted on my IG last evening a vignette of Fantasia Barrino (Taylor) sing "Free Yourself" to hopefully open eyes to the possibility of being really happy. This is 2018, there is no more time or room for anyone who does not treat you good, who does not make you smile, instead you feel lonely and not cared about. (First, let me say, there are individuals out there that are victims of abuse and there is a different dynamic here. I urge anyone being abused to talk with someone who can help in dealing with the how and when for such a relationship. Please call National Domestic Violence Hotline on 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224). For those who are not in an abusive relationship and you are holding out hope for a person who is showing you better than they can tell you, that they have no respect for you and have no plans to make you happy, instead, they dishonor you and treat you with disdain, you must begin to count the cost of this. You may feel like you will be too hurt to get over someone, so far from true. Will you hurt, yes...will it take time to get over him or her, yes, it will. However, it is the decision to realize your worth and what you deserve (happiness) that will help you to breathe again. I want to be careful about this, because, I am not saying that you must leave any relationship, I am saying, if you are unhappy, disrespected and made to feel disregarded, you have some thinking to do. God created us to live a life of purpose, joy and courage, not to be torn and broken down by someone who is filled with a displaced ego, who feels big by making you feel small. I can say this, because, I once lived it on many levels with someone who I was with for many years. I would have bet my last penny that he would not have been so horrible, guess what, I would have lost my last penny. So, I am speaking from a place of experience and not television. When you accept the thoughts that this is the only person in the world for you, you break your own heart. you are keeping a seat in your life for someone who does not want to earn it and does not have to earn it. You already gave the seat to him or her.
How can you grow if you do not nurture your life in all areas. You may nuture your health by exercising and that is good, you may eat right to also nurture your health...wonderful, you may pray and go to church to nuture your spirit, this is extremely good, you may take various classes to enhance your knowledge and career...always in order, you may have a great abillity to meet great people and cultivate good friendships....I can go on. I think you have the idea, you can do all of these things, but if you do not work on and nurture your inner-self, you will always lack peace and contentment. If you are praying and going to church, do not neglect the obvious. Stop being afraid to pray for freedom from a relationship that keeps you bound. You can do many things to nurture your life in various areas, but, if you don't accept what is before you and you leave it to grow weeds it will choke out your efforts in the other areas. I can tell you with certainty, if you think you may be unhappy, you are. There is no one walking the earth who is worth any more of your time, attention and effort, when it is not reciprocated. No one can be forced to care and show respect if it is not there intent. You deserve to live with integrity, love and consideration. Never lessen your value in any situation. You are not less than, if anything you are more, because of your big heart and sincerity in how you feel about the other person. Believe it or not, that is a blessing, because your heart is good. You can not be afraid, because you can not see the future without the person who brings you pain, ask yourself, how will it be if you contine with him or her? The only way I know to tell you is to begin to give happiness, joy, respect and love your trust and let these wonderful things navigate you to a good space in your head, in your heart and in your spirit. God will take care of you and will not let you fall. Many times, we pick who we think we want and do not ask God to send us who we need. He wants you to live happy in your relationship, not stressed and unsure. You never need this person, don't believe it, because, it is not anyone's truth.
I am posting this video to provide a message. The song mentions fighting, which, does not simply mean physical fights, it speaks to verbal fights and the push pull emotional struggles to make it what it is not, you so badly want him or her to honor you and they are not willing to honor you. Be faithful to you and your happiness, the picture will be clearer. Ladies and Gentlemen, you deserve love<3

Break The Chain of Your Strong Hold
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.
