Progressing Through The Storm

“Life Has A Funny Way OF Working Out , Just When You Start To Believe It .”

Different seasons, places, and time reveals new sometimes exciting, sometimes challenging, but whether pleasing or challenging each experience blesses us with a new lesson and often times a self-promotion. The truth is no matter how much we improve in life there will and must always be room for improvement and growth to take place. Each day is a God given gift and it is our duty to be mindful to be present to the many blessings we are receiving, the lessons that are meant to be learned, the people we are meant to experience. Too often many of us will find ourselves being limited by our emotions that are altered due to many external factors in our lives that may be out of or control that we miss out on blessings that may have been right in our presence. It is extremely important and beneficial to our wellbeing to learn how to go through our storms without carrying our worry and displeasure on our faces in our daily interactions. Our life has already been written which means that every second of our day already has its purpose , lessons, and blessings  and in order to live each day full we must prepare ourselves and our minds to be in a space to receive  each days purpose to be fulfilled. If I told you that each person you come across on your daily commute is blessing would you believe me? most would probably say no, unfortunately we have been conditioned and taught to only  see the differences that makes us separate  and to focus only on finding  evidence of why  we cannot relate to each other. Every living and deceased person has a story and for every brave soul that is free and selfless enough to share their story that is an opportunity to be a blessing to someone and for one to receive their breakthrough.

This week was the beginning of the 30 days of mindfulness challenge for the next thirty day we will be focusing on clarity and action planning. Now more than ever before is the perfect opportunity to get proactive, in not only protecting our minds but shifting our perspectives. There are two very important factors that I believe are very important that we get clear on, and the first is to remember that life is short, and we cannot afford to waste another second in mediocrity. By the grace if God and his will have all be blessed to be alive to witness just how our life as we know it can change from what we know as our norm to being propelled into  the unknown in the blink of an eye.  For many of us It may feel like Suddenly we have been forced to face the reality that nothing in life is a guarantee, and the only thing certain in life is death. Time and time again we have spent an excess amount of time robbing ourselves of great opportunities by constantly living in fear of what we do not know. The second factor is the struggle to accept what is and let go of was with an open mind to trust that our life is happening in order and right on time. Once we are able to reprogram our thinking and belief system to see all things as an opportunity and not a disadvantage to us the more flexible, we are to confidently take on life challenges. One of the most ignored but beautiful irony about life is that daily God is giving us signs and confirmations in our minds, previews of the things we desire, and revelations to our   concerns to guide and protect us. Sadly, instead of paying attention and being present to that we are often distracted by our negative, limited thinking and negative perceptions which generates negative and explosive reactions.  

In closing I want to leave you guys with these very important tips and steps to be present to receive the gifts that each day brings. The first is to start each day with a clear mind and a clean slate by forgiving yourself of the mistakes and struggles of yesterday, and vow to focus only on the cares of the present day. Meditate on the word of God and set your intentions on thriving through your daily experience by choosing gratitude and release the spirit of resentment and anger. The last step is to celebrate yourself every small accomplishment and progress made in a day is worth celebrating as it keeps us self-motivated and encouraged even when no one else is around to do so or willing to celebrate you. The truth is there is no grater love or support in this world than the love and support we give to ourselves, aside from God’s divine love and support. Time wasted is time being taken for granted and every second taken for granted is us only doing withdrawals and no deposits in our life. You are your greatest project and most valuable investment, and it requires commitment, consistency, love, faith, and action daily in the things that will add more to your life than it takes away. As you continue to consistently pour into you then and only then can you in return poor into others, by spreading good news, hope, and love that everyone needs and is deserving of. The best is yet to come but this present moment is your current blessing make the best of it.
