Content With God's Plan

/

 We were created with all that we need to  create the life we desire, it is up to us how we access the power within. We will not be able to recognize what divine beings we are if we are always operating  from a space of lacking. Operating in a mindset that we are not enough and we need more before we can be more. It starts with you right now and right where you are .This week we are focused on transforming our minds from wanting to being content with  the tools that God has already blessed us with.

Shift Your Fears

/

“Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will”, have you ever been in the process of expanding and doing something different but, In the same moment of the thought of expanding was present the feeling of fear sets in. You begin to have doubts and debating back and forth in your mind. The debate is based on whether it is the right choice or not, if it will work or will the result of acting despite the feeling of fear be a disaster. Why do we worry about the result before we even have the first idea of how to begin? how can we worry about the end results when today is all we have to work with because we have no clue what tomorrow holds. Lastly, I want to ask why are we afraid of what we do not know but continue to endure the abuse of some of the things we already know does not work for us? I asked these questions to share my experience with learning from an experience with my now one-year old daughter.

“Curiosity Is The Spark Behind The spark Of Every Great Idea . The future Belongs To The Curious.”

 

Friday afternoon after taking care of some important business I decided to stop in the park with my daughter and hang there for the afternoon, when we arrived I spread a blanket across the grass for me and her to sit and lay on. I removed both of our sandals and sat on the mat, she looked around and observed her surroundings for a little while with her head rested on my lap. Suddenly she got up and walked to the edge of the mat where she felt the grass on her toes, she looked down then proceeded to walk out further into the grass. Naturally as parents it is in our nature to have that sense of wanting to be in control or protective as some will call it. I held her hand and guided her back to the mat and sat her down, I decided to put her sandals back on and told her she was free to walk out into the grass, instead of going she laid back down next to me so I removed her sandals again. To my surprise she pulled herself up into a sitting position, stood up and went back into the grass even further this time smiling and going.  Instantly I was reminded of the message I had listened to earlier in the morning by Dr. Wayne Dyer he said, “kids have a nature they know what to do “. He also said “trying to control leads to ruin allow your life to unfold. Meaning that we were not born with rules we were given a due date that was not a 100% accurate, but we came when we were ready, the ordained time for us to arrive freely.

 

Shortly after we went for a walk down by the fountain when we first arrived se’maya stood still she looked at the water coming from the fountain and observed it. Every second that went pass she moved a little closer taking baby steps and still observing, until she was standing directly in front of the water fountain. She slowly placed her hands on the wall enjoying the view and the feeling of water that blew lightly across her face, I was so amazed watching her enjoy this. They say we are here to teach our kids the way of life but I strongly believe that we were blessed with these amazing beings to learn from them, they are a reminder of how we all once were. A reminder that the way of life is not to operate in a safety net that we named fear but a powerful reminder that we were born to explore, create, and flow. I want to ask everyone reading today how many times in your adult life have you found your self being so afraid of taking risks and doing things you have never done before? How many times have we talked ourselves out of committing to something because of the fear of what we do not know or understand? Instead of taking baby steps, while taking the time to observe and learn something outside of what we already know, we allow what we already know and the things we have been taught to hold us back from truly experiencing life the way we were created to. Instead of being afraid this week and moving forward I want to encourage everyone to choose to take on doing something out of their comfort zone and committing to it without fearing the what if it does not work. Instead get curious about the what if it could and it does work and why not you be the one to make it happen. The next time you are faced with the choice of going out of your comfort zone or playing it safe I dear you to operate from a space of curiosity and strong faith that what we do not know cannot harm us, remember most of the times the things we avoid and scares us the most could be our purpose, that thing that changes your whole life for a greater purpose.

Sacrifices Should Lead To Progress & Not Regrets

“Sacrifice Comes Before Success!”

Fulfilling my dreams fulfills my spirit, i am at  peace and filled with joy when I am working to receive  what I deserve. I am in a space where I anticipate seeing how what I do will inspire   others,and what kind of impact will my vision have on the world. There are times when fear is present in my mind ,I begin to ask myself are you ready for this and do you believe you are capable of being the one to touch, move, and get people inspired and excited to get started on their journey to true success and happiness. My blog is titled unapologetic happiness because I wanted to remind people of what it feels like to go through life operating freely like a child in spirit as an adult. I wanted to remind people that being an adult does not mean you forget how to laugh and not worry, becoming so focused on life’s responsibilities you are unable to take a moment to relax and appreciate even the air you breathe. The way we are being is extremely important and when we can access our inner child joy our days are more exciting and we are able to be happy despite all the bills we have, or any other life circumstances that are present.

Having a belief system set on doing things the right way and living up to societies standards is what most people struggle with breaking free from. They miss the bigger picture and what is important which is to live life. The life you live are you loving it, are you enjoying it, are you grateful for the life that you have been blessed with?. Most times not many are because when you live your life based on a scale of expectations that are set by age, and  what level of education you have .Unfortunately you will spend a lot of time being frustrated because you are busy trying to meet the stamp of approval. As a person who once lived their life striving to do everything the right way to ensure that my mother was proud. Whether or not it was something I really enjoyed if the money was good I committed and I went through the motions daily. I will share with everyone reading today that this was the most miserable and lowest point in my life, what made it even more depressing was the fact that I was so unhappy. I did not feel like I was doing my best and I was going to get fired. Getting fired was not any news I wanted to give to my mother at the time I was only twenty, or twenty-one. I was at the age where you’re  considered old enough to start building your future and young enough not to rush and enjoy your young adult years of  learning and growing.  I did not see that I felt like I had a goal to meet by any means necessary so I was always hard on myself by choice.

It was by choice because my mother never told me I owed her for any of her sacrifices of being a mother, I just knew she made great sacrifices and I never wanted them to be in vein. Where I went wrong and got lost like most, is that I failed to understand that our parents wanting to be proud of us does not require us to sacrifice our true self and dreams. They may suggest things  that they believe would be great for us financially but I am sure they would not want us to be unhappy at the same time. Being unhappy with the choices we make in life if one is not strong mentally that can lead to devastating results. What I want to share and encourage everyone to take on today is to stop assuming that wanting to make the most important people in your life proud means becoming someone you are not. When you come to the point in  your life where you are on a mission to create the life of your dreams start by asking yourself for permission to be great. Secondly commit your plans to God, exercise your faith, get to work and show the world especially your loved ones how happy you are doing what you want, when you want unapologetically. The sacrifices we make in life should only take us to the next level in our life and not creating false beliefs and practices to be accepted.

Mastering Time

“Don’t Watch The Clock ; Do What It Does. Keep Going ”

“lose an hour in the morning and you will be all day hunting for it”, I am a firm believer that you cannot wish for more time but with great sacrifice you can certainly make the most of the twenty-four hours we have in a day. Not only does waking up earlier grants you more time, it grants you more peace of mind and clarity on your goals and intentions for the day. I believe that everyone as a parent, an entrepreneur, and someone in the work filed needs and will benefit from having time to yourself in the morning before getting started on your day. It opens the door for more peaceful interactions through out our day. We are better aligned with our desires when we make time to center our thoughts and set our intentions on the things we want to happen.  A lot of people are against rising early because they feel they need all the rest they can get or in some cases they are not really looking forward to rising early depending on what day of the week it is. The idea of the preference in a day is what alters most people’s perspective on why they need to wake up early.

 I was once a big advocate for sleeping in  and not wanting to wake up earlier than fifteen minutes before I had to leave out the door because I worked close. I will admit that me sleeping later, getting all the rest I could get I still woke up feeling very exhausted. As the process of getting ready begun I grew more frustrated and impatient I felt like time was racing I was unorganized and from that point on I felt like nothing good can occur . Now that I am mother, a  life and health coach I work primarily  from home which requires me to  set my schedule around her. I have learned a valuable lesson  and I grew to appreciate the blessing in making the choice to commit to rising early consistently. I am able to get time to myself to pray giving God the time he deserves and not borrowing time for worship.  I have time to get clear with my mind and set my intentions, and I can create a plan of action for the day that is effective. I am able to meditate and align my thoughts to match my true desires and action for the day. I have learned that by doing these things it is easier for me to remain calm, peaceful and it helps me to be aware of my energy in every situation.  Most importantly I am able to get a lot done in a day when I sacrifice an hour or two to create more time to accomplish more.

 Rest is very important and so is prioritizing our time not only is it important it is also very beneficial to our progress.  We will be able to get more done faster and we will be able to end our day earlier when we are not chasing time playing catch up. I am the first to admit that some days will not go as planned and there are days when I just want to lay in bed longer than normal. In that same moment whenever i feel like this  I remind myself of how much harder my day will be if I delay getting started early. My vision board next to my bed is also a great reminder and motivation to rise with gratitude and great purpose for each day. All it takes is the will to want to make it, being disciplined in your routine, and developing a no matter what attitude. Meaning that  no matter what happens and how you are feeling the only choice you have is to show up with no excuses, and to give a hundred percent effort without alternatives to leave anything left  undone for another day. Write all your plans before bed and pray over them before you rest, let your goals be the last thing you do at night and the first thing you look at in the morning after praying.  Time is the master patience is our guide and faith is our armor rise with the sun and we can shine like it too,
