I created my first blog site on December 5, 2017 a few days before I decided to take part in a vision board webinar guide with Mrs. Nicole McLaren-Campbell. I was always following her tips and guides on success and life which were very inspiring. I considered her to be my internet mentor, I will be forever grateful for December 9,2017 it inspired transformation in my life.  In the beginning I was in a different space and surrounded by people who I believed would of this new journey with me as my support system.  I was very open with sharing all my plans and hopes for Unapologetic Happiness. I shared every detail including the dates, and times for the release and completion of upcoming projects. In that moment I was so excited, and I believed that everyone would be as excited as I was. I quickly began to analyze that the more I shared the more things began to be delayed.  Naturally I began to feel a little discouraged and worried that maybe this meant that I was not supposed to pursue my dreams or maybe I was not good at what I was doing. I woke up one day and I looked at myself in the mirror and made a commitment to strengthening my spiritual life. I started each day praying more often and most importantly praying before I committed to anything. One day while I was in prayer It was almost like I heard a little voice whisper to me guard your vision and plan in silence. It was as if a light bulb went off in my head and I got to work, there was a limit to what I would share, and I was careful with who I shared information with. I enjoyed writing down all my thoughts and ideas instead of sharing them with others.

“BE CAREFUL WHO YOU SHARE YOUR PLANS WITH EVERYONE IS NOT HAPPY FOR YOU” The reality is no one really enjoys living in secrecy and it is a natural feeling to want to share important moments in your life with the people you love. The sad reality is some people can only support and love you genuinely when they can relate to where you are, the moment your growth is present some will not be able to accept who we are becoming. I experienced this with a former friend I learned that the less I had to share the more complicated it got to be around me or in my presence. I remember thinking that maybe I was thinking too much until there was a post made via social media. The post stated “when someone listens to you but never have anything to share with you, they are not your friend”. Initially when I first read it, I was a little shocked but then I received it with a smile of gratitude for confirmation that I was doing the right thing. I began to practice this art self-preservation and protecting my dreams as God continued to guide me. The sad truth is you will learn some people are just listening to hear your every move for surveillance not to support. The less I shared the more the lack of support or participation was present. I learned to accept and change my perspective the situation, their actions did not have anything to do with me but everything to do with their struggle with life. Using my gift of discernment, I learned who and when to share my ideas, build you a trusted circle of influence and rely on God. I felt something inside of me shift the atmosphere around me was pure. Things began to happen everything was in alignment and flowing.

 In conclusion I shared this to remind every that the moment we stop relying on people and begin relying on God he begins to reveal and remove the things that are not a blessing to your life. The choice is ours to make, we can either follow his lead or force to hold on to things that is not the missing piece to your puzzle. In life no matter how difficult it is to understand or accept the fact remains that everyone will not be happy for you and the people you start with won't all be the same in the long run.  It is ok to keep your plans limited to God, and your circle of influence. God is the source that keeps us all together and thriving in all that we do.  This does not mean you’re ashamed or keeping secrets it is a choice to protect your vision just like a mother would her newborn.  We cannot allow people to attack our baby not allowing any negative feed backs, comments, or advice regarding what we are up to.  Silence is the key be humbled stay prayed up and go to work without having to tell the world, work hard to show the world what you are up to. Most importantly do it for yourself work hard to create a life of fulfillment, happiness and true success. I dare you to go out into the world bold with confidence in your craft, never settling and no matter what always remain fired up for the next level. Where there is room for improvement there is room for growth.
