Taking Inventory

How often do you take inventory of your life? how often do you do a self-check? and most importantly how often are we checking our circle of influence? These three things are very important tasks that we should all implement into our life. why?  Because just like a store owner must always keep track of what they have in stock, what needs to be replaced and who needs to be promoted or demoted for their operation to be a success. The same concept applies to our life we have to make sure that we are hands on to what is present in our life what is serving us and what isn’t, who needs to be promoted and who needs to be demoted for our vision to come together successfully. The thing that most of us struggle with is letting go of things or people that does not serve for our own good, we get so emotionally invested and attached and, in most cases, care too much about everyone else’s feelings above their own. The real questions are do you believe keeping connections, relations, and holding on to things that does not serve you are more important than living and creating the life you desire?  My answer is no, and I would hope that would be the same for everyone reading today, there is nothing in this life worth sacrificing your joy and your purpose for.

Everything and everyone are not meant to be on your journey forever there is an expiration date, the hardest part is knowing when that time is, or choosing what is important and best for you. I have met a lot of people my mother is one of them when it comes to taking care of others and making sure that everyone else is okay, they are professionals at that. The area they struggle with is being a professional at self- care and choosing themselves first, most people feel guilty and allow others to label them as selfish when they choose to commit to their needs. There is a time to be selfless but there is also a time to be selfish with your time, protecting your peace, and doing things that rejuvenates your souls. We are only as good to others as we are to ourselves, doing for others what we are unable to do for ourselves is a disservice and confirmation of a battle we are fighting with ourselves.  Some of us struggle with lacking self-love. lacking confidence, and faith, and so we drain ourselves doing all the things that we think will gain us recognition and make us look good to others.  The secret to living in purpose and being in service to other’s is being in service to yourself first to learn who we are and what is our true intentions.  Doing things for the praise of others is for a short time today they love you and tomorrow they can be your biggest enemy, but God’s love and rewards are unlimited and unconditional.

Life is not about doing or attaining all the finer things in life, life is about doing things that are pleasing to God first, yourself second and lastly creates impact in the life of others. It is about using this precious time to make a difference by living free and unapologetic in life, living in the present moments having pure gratitude for everything and everyone you are blessed to experience. There are no coincidences everything is the way it should be, must refrain from distractions and always make sure we are taking inventory of our life. Tracking your own growth and progress can be measured by who you are being, what your circle of influence is about and what you represent. The desire for most is wanting to be happy but the problem is most are missing a very important point that living a happy and peaceful life is a choice. How do you choose it? is by overseeing the type of energy you are putting out there, the thoughts you have, conversations you entertain and making sure your inventory of your life is up to date? The only person responsible for our happiness is us, the first step is always taking care of your first before you can take care of others and lastly when you have the chance to choose between letting go to be great or holding on and remaining the same choose to let go. All though the decision can be difficult it is necessary there is always good, better, and best don’t stop at just enough believe in your worth and what you deserve.
