Fire Up Your Sense Of Purpose

I am grateful for today and all its new blessing and opportunities we are worthy of receiving.Yesterday was an off day for me, I was not feeling my best creatively and what began to happen was the more I dwelled on the funk that I was feeling the more I disabled myself. We are all humans and everyday will not always be the same, but we do have the power of choice, we can either choose to make it a great day or choose to be powerless.  Yesterday the book that I have been reading stated“Every thought and feeling I have is creating my world “.  This, simply means that we create the type of life we live, the type of things we experience based on our thoughts and feelings.  If we wake up every day and set our focus on all the things that could go wrong, the problems of yesterday, we are creating a space for negativity and no progress and every experience we encounter will be in alignment with those negative thoughts. So, ask yourself what kind of experiences you desire for your life daily?

For example, you woke up today and something unplanned happens first thing in the morning and instead of acknowledging and embracing it, you say “today is going to be a bad day “, guess what you have just welcomed all negative experiences to come your way. Just by you saying that you claimed the type of day you are going to have because you let that experience cloud your judgement and thoughts. We must not place the faith of our happiness in the hands of series or events that occur we must be in control of how happy we will be and desire to be. If we leave it up to chance and events I guarantee you will not be as happy as you could be, simply because we have no control over adversities, but we have the power to control how we deal with them. We must condition our minds to be happy no matter what not because of the things we have or the things we experience. Get clear that our life is all about our intentions if we set or intentions on winning, being in purpose, and living our best lives our daily experiences start to align with our intentions, there will be things that happen to test just how in control we are of our thoughts and emotions towards life.

“We must condition our minds to be happy”

After reading that section yesterday a good friend and business partner sent me a link of a mediation guide she has taken on. The first series was the exact same message as the message I read from my book, she did not know how I was feeling or what book I was reading that was all in the power of intentions and alignment. Those two series were just pure confirmation for me to clear my thoughts and center my emotions on experiencing joy in all four corners of my life.  When I woke this morning and I opened my book the message was “I am radiating with harmonious light, I am in touch with divine inspiration, creativity flows through me with ease’ describing the exact mood I was feeling internally. I share this to say just as easy as it is to complain it is just as easy to create new possibilities of light, love and creativity for our life. I encourage everyone to really channel in and get connected with our mind body and soul and feed those things with positivity, love, and divine purpose and experience the shift of greatness in your life.

God's Gift To Me

On November 13 ,2017 I met Ann Regan for the first time she was 85 years young and had been battling congestive heart failure, this required her to have  some one assisting her around the house. When I drove there at first on the way I was thinking man this is too far, and it will be dark when I leave. I do not like high ways and especially at night but never the less I took the job. This had to be one of the best decisions I ever made I got over my fear of driving on the highway at night and I gained a new friend. She loved the fact that I was a spiritual person and even though she was catholic, and I was not every day we would pray together. In an ironic way she often kept me on track with reading my book because she loved when I read to her. Whenever she was eating she wanted me to eat too, she always wanted to see out side and often talked about the spring coming so she could go for a walk. One thing she always expressed to me was that she didn’t remember a whole year after losing her husband, it was almost as if she was just in a daze. One day she said to me “he left me a tape that he sang a song do not be afraid for me” so I asked her did she mind me listening to it she said “no”.  I got the tape and I played it and she began to cry saying “this is the first time I have cried since he passed thank you I knew God sent you to me “.

Hear I was thinking that God sent her to me and whole While I was Sent to her as well there was something she needed which was to face the reality,accept him being gone and to remind her not to be afraid. December fifth was when I started writing my blogs and she would always ask me to read them to her which I did. Everyday being by her side never felt like a job   this felt more like I was hanging out with my good friend we spent a lot of time encouraging, loving, and inspiring each other. I even spent my birthday with her in all my years of working I never ever worked on that day but this time it was different it almost felt like I needed to be with her.  January 19th was the last day I got to work with Ann and on that day, we listen to the tape gain only this time I encouraged her to feel his presence, connect, and be free in your heart. I watch her close her eyes and she sung and she cried I told her Ann don’t you ever be afraid, but who was I to tell her that when all the while I was afraid to lose her. We hugged, and she kissed my face she told me to come over any time and we could spend the night together. I was sad to go I almost felt like she needed me to be with her to the end, but I guess God had other plans.

“when you lose someone you love
you gain an angel you know ”

After I left I would call her and she would say nay-nay as only she could say it best she would ask me not to forget about her and always keep in touch and I promised her I would. I thought about her every day and I thought to call her on Sunday, but I said no I would call her Monday. Monday came and my Anna called me and she said “nay-nay I wanted to call you to let you know I was thinking of you, but I have company, so we will talk later don’t forget about me “. We said our usual I love you and I told her I would call on Tuesday. There was something about the way she sounded so urgent that she talk to me Monday just to tell me that as if she knew that would be the last time we would speak but, I was so busy I did not get a chance to call. My heart and my mind stayed on her, but I didn’t call I told my husband Saturday is her birthday I am going to surprise her. Thursday evening came, and I was sitting on the couch and it was like I heard her say nay-nay, so I picked up the phone and I called her, but she didn’t answer. Later that night around 8:30 p.m. her son text me to say she died an hour ago.  Even though I knew this day would come I guess I just wish I could have hugged her one more time and told her how much I loved her, but I know she knew that. I pray that she was not afraid, and I am happy that now my Anna can finally rest peacefully, because every day we debated about her not wanting to rest she was afraid she would miss something, or she would say I will rest when I am gone. I share this to say make time to tell the people that are important to you just how much you love them it takes two seconds you just never know when that will be the last time and it is better for them to hear and know it while they are still here. If I could talk to her one more time I would tell her just how much I loved and missed her.

Get In Alignment With Your Goals

When I sit, and I look at my life now and I reflect on my vision for the future I put them together to see if they are in alignment. The reason I do this is simple we have to begin to do the things that benefits our future self.  We cannot say we wish for a specific lifestyle, but our daily actions are going in the opposite direction. I am writing today to encourage everyone to start taking action steps towards their goals, start sacrificing some of the things that are not beneficial for ones that are. Chasing our goals come with sacrifices we must decide what are some of the things or people we need to release to get there. I will say for me sleep is it for me simply because I am a new mother and I work around my baby girl. I have no boss, and no one monitoring my every move I have to do this around her schedule, so sometimes this leads to late nights finishing a task. For most this would be very hard because you have some people that need a boss to work. People like myself if it is something that brings us great fulfillment we commit because it is necessary and benefits us in the long run. I will say it is not the easiest thing to do being self-employed and being a full-time mother, but every moment spent watching her be free and creating a life around her that I love is priceless.  There are times when it can be a bit challenging but instead of getting discouraged or give up I look at all the ways that I am blessed and how much fulfillment I feel every day.

“...instead of getting discouraged or giving up, I look at all the ways that I am blessed...””

 Every day I set my intentions to do something that gets me closer to accomplishing my goals It is very easy when things are not going as planned to get discouraged and it is even easier to quit.  A few steps I take to stay encourage is to first pray about the way I am feeling and ask God to restore my mind and release the spirit of doubt. In addition to that I like to get busy instead of sitting and feeling defeated and unmotivated I remain in action. There is that saying the days you don’t feel like showing up, show up any ways. Finally, another step I take is I reach out to some one that I know will give me the best advice and not allow me to complain and be a victim. This is very important and beneficial   to be mindful of you never want to call any one that is going to allow you to complain rather than find a solution complaining is only doing a disservice to your self and your growth.  Always remember even when things seem to be rough and you cannot see a way out remember there is still always more to be grateful for.  It is our obligation to our self to keep going, surround ourselves with people that challenges us to work harder and when all else fails please remember why you got started. 

Never Let The Unknown Stop Us From Soaring

Have you ever been in a situation that you have no control over, a situation that could possibly change your life forever? One of those situations where no matter how hard you try to remain positive it is almost as if it has taken over your whole thought process. I am here to tell you that you are not alone in this process in this thing called life obstacles. Things could be going well for a moment and suddenly it takes a sudden turn. Once upon a time when things like this would take place in my life that I thought were serious the first thing I did was sit and worry. What happens when we worry, or cry does the situation change or magically disappear? So why are those emotions the first line of action we choose to do? The more we really look at life in a positive light and believe that all things are working for a greater good the stronger we become mentally. It is a fact that the more we focus on changing our mindset and accepting adversities for what they are and not making them mean something personal about us the better we get at coping with life.

I am a firm believer of this and a living testimony to this, it was a very good friend of mine that once said to me “focus on what you want to happen and not the possible outcome of all the things that could go wrong”.  We must trust and believe that things will work them self out because worrying only keeps us captive in our mind and limits us from being productive. Think about it like this if you are facing a really difficult situation, you have no idea or control of the out come but what if you just kept on working and staying focus? If the situation worked out in our favor you never have to play catch up because you never stop and even if it didn’t work out in your favor you are still a winner because you never gave up. Never let our fear of an unknown outcome stop us from going forward in life we must always keep fighting no matter what. If we have life we still have strength the strength to keep fighting keep pushing where there is a will there is a way patience and faith with much hard work always pays off.
