We set the tone for the way others will treat and respect us by the way we treat ourselves set the tone, and the way we treat our gifts and purpose in life is how people will respect them. Many of us have struggled with choosing what is best for us and what we know we need to do because of fear and our need to be accepted. The truth is everyone has suffered from the seeking validation disease at one point or another.  The question I had to ask myself was “is what other people think more important than your happiness and freedom to live in your purpose?   The answer was no. once I was clear with what mattered most to me making the choice to flow became a lot easier for me. While we get second chances and multiple opportunities with certain things in our lives such as relationships, friendships, career paths, but the one thing we are not all as blessed to have is a second chance to live in our purpose. Our purpose is a special gift that has to be cared for, respected, protected, and taken seriously. Finding our purpose and choosing to live and walk in it daily comes with a huge responsibility that is bigger than us and what we have going on personally. Life is always happening, and it is our responsibility to keep growing and moving forward.

The first step to mastering self and the ability to face life challenges and still operate in our purpose is to seek God for directions and instructions on how to receive what is happening with an open mind and gratitude, yes, I said gratitude why? In everything we do and experience whether good or bad we must always remember to be thankful. God makes no mistakes and unfortunately there are many things that can factor in the result of the level of success we hope to achieve and the visions we have been gifted with. With my personal experience I have learned that while there are many there a three very critical and common factors the first being our level of confidence in our faith, the level of confidence in self, and our will to win. The key to manifesting things in our lives is to have the ability to believe it is possible before it happens  in order to have a great level of belief we must be sure that the thing that we are in pursuit of is in alignment with what God has in store for you and that you are operating from a space that is your true self. Very often many people will find themselves chasing things that are not in alignment to God’s plan and one that has nothing to with who they are to the core. The state of comparison, enviousness , and competition  results in pursuing things that are not truly what an individual was created to do .How do we know when we have found our purpose? you will know because there is a burning passion that we will feel on the inside no matter the storms we are in and how we are feeling it feels impossible to not commit and remain consistent on our mission where money and incentives is not a factor , your fulfillment and making a difference in the world means more to you than your excuses.

Each day we are blessed with new and endless possibilities it is our responsibility to be mindful of who we are being and what we are pursuing. Time is precious and a valuable source of life that we all must be committed to not taking for granted , just as we are aware of the materialistic  things that we cannot afford based on finances I want highlight this fact that we cannot afford to waste time. Invest in you mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually daily, to get closer to God and have a better understanding of who you are and the mission that has been assigned to you. We all have been blessed with gifts and with the gifts we also have been blessed with the ability to master them. We must invest more time focusing on what is important and what is working for us, it is the art of using what we have and making the best out of it.  No one is blessed with a perfect life with a manual or a cheat sheet on how to win at life it is a conscious choice that we must make daily.  The life that we desire, the gifts that is within us is the magic that we all bring to the world do not allow your circumstances to and the cards that you have been dealt become your reason for never discovering it and sharing it. The beauty about life is the mystery of life itself to know that all things and everyone we experience comes with a purpose. It is not our duty to be open to try to figure out the order in which our life is meant to go  we must we be open to receive the lessons that will  break us down temporarily  to build us up and make us stronger and equipped for the mission of life with faith and purpose ,always appreciate and respect the gifts and the life that God has blessed you with.
