“Honor your being release each struggle, gather strength from life’s storms, and relax into the arms of spirit”. I wanted to share this quote to remind us all that the things we consider to be a struggle, setbacks or even feeling like we have hit rock bottom, that these are just temporary moments in our life designed to sit us down to get present with our selves. Sometimes all we need Is a moment to slow down and take a moment to be one with our mind. It is important to take time to analyze how we are being, who we are being, take a moment to ask ourselves are we living or only existing, or are we taking life for granted or making the best out of life? What begins to happen is the longer we avoid our greater needs and purpose life has a way of sitting us right in a corner not to break us but to shake us up a little, take us out of our comfort zones. When this occurs, you have two choices you either sink or you swim. Therefore, practicing personal development daily is extremely important because when life happens our mind must be mature to progress forward, personal development is our foundation to true success and growth. We are all amazing beings and we all have very different journeys and struggles but one thing we all have in common is that life is always happening to all of us. We should really take our struggles as a compliment because God loves us so much that he assigned such great tasks on us.

The most important thing is not getting consumed by our struggles not forming a relationship with our delays. we can never reach our true potential until we are brave enough and completely vulnerable to release the stuff we hold on to. There is a big difference between releasing and just complaining. when we release our mind from the struggles we begin to change our perspective and become more solution oriented. When we complain all this does is keep the door open to receive a negative outcome and we remain in one spot at a standstill, negativity hinders us from moving forward.  I remember a specific time being on a team business call and in a split second the energy was shifted.  One of the young men on the call said, “I think this is a great time for everyone to open and release some stuff”, it was perfect because him doing that broke down a lot of barriers and it was almost like everyone just took a deep breath and exhaled positivity. I know that was nothing but the love of God for us   that told him we needed that in that moment and he was obedient enough to relay this message. 

The reason why setting our self-free is important because sometimes we get so stuck in our heads and pride gets the best of us. We believe that if we are transparent and open to share with others we are week or just talk too much. That is far from the truth because when we become free enough to not worry about being judged or looked at in a certain light by others you begin to elevate your mind, your energy, and your spirit. Once we understand that we matter, and our story can save a life or help heal someone else we must get comfortable with being vulnerable with the world. Your story or your struggle is not your secret to keep or anything to be ashamed of. I will say once we all began sharing the whole chat instantly went from business to a feeling of relief and just fired up to accomplish new things. sometimes that is all we need a chance to release, to pick our self-up and go. It is such a blessing to have people in your life that will challenge you and encourage you to release. I encourage everyone today that whatever we are holding on to let it go be free. Remember by releasing your control over circumstances you gain more control of your life.
