Quality Lifestyle

“Be Careful With What You Are Inviting,
Creating , & Entertaining In Your Life ”

Quality is a distinctive attribute or characteristic possessed by someone or something, Appearance is the way that someone or something looks or an act of performing or participating in a public event. There is a fine significance between these two words, these are two words that can describe most people and their character. In life you have two types of people the person that allows appearance and the way people view them to be the control factor of who they are and how they live their life. On the other hand, you have the people that lives their life by committing to doing what makes the most sense and great purpose by their own standards. I believe that we are all connected by one eternal source what separates most is our way of thinking and being. The irony about life is that it is not that anyone is better than the other everyone is simply just performing at their best level of consciousness. Meaning that what works for me at this moment may not work another, for everything and everyone has a season for change and growth.

The practice of living a life of quality over appearance provides us with the gift of peace and great fulfilment. When we are focused on the quality of the life we are creating we have no time and cannot afford to be distracted, by other people’s opinions and perception of who they think we should be. living a life that is pleasing to others over time our joy and natural ability to live begins to fade and when alone we can hardly recognize ourselves. No one wins when we are always in a state of pretense we will sell our peace of mind and go against everything we believe in to maintain this appearance.  While we are confused about who we are being thinking we are impressing others, sometimes those same people are patiently waiting for us to reveal our true selves. When you believe you are putting on a show for the world when the curtains close no one believes the story but they will remember a great act.

Invest time in being authentically you, find less things to be offended about, and commit to doing things and engaging with people that add value to your life. I encourage everyone reading today that before you do anything always ask God to order your steps and be sure to identify if you are operating from your true self and not doing what makes sense to others. Then and only then will you be able to truly live your best life freely and unapologetically, it’s not about how long you live, it is the quality of how you live your life in the short time we have here on earth that matters. Lastly remember that if you are focused on appearance over quality you are not enjoying life, you are always saving face, always playing it safe, and never taking chances or stepping out with faith and doing something different.  So, I ask in closing will you live for the acceptance of society or live to create peace and happiness in your life? choose you in everything you do.

Transformation Of The Mind Tuesday- Flexibility To Win

The hardest and most important muscle to train is our mind , we can work on our physical appearance doesn't matter if our mind is not right. We must commit to being like the tress on a windy day standing tall, and flowing with our Circumstances without breaking. Embrace every season you are in and grow from them, and not surrendering at the cost of your purpose.

Be Still Blessings Are In The Adventure

“Sometimes Less Is More when More Is Too Much ”

“Less is more and more being less “this is one of those phrases that is a fact but always contradicting to everything that we have been taught. Growing up we are always being told “make sure you go to school and get good grades, so you have get a great job that pays a lot. With being paid a lot you can buy everything you want and need. It has been instilled in us that the goal is to always work hard to have more. more, more, never being content with the fact that we already have everything we need too busy   suffering from the more disease. What is the more disease? is the thought that we must have more to be happy. Our belief system prevents us from being in gratitude for the things we do have and have been blessed with from birth every external asset is just a bonus. The irony to always doing more to receive more is that when you get there you are never fully satisfied and the chase continues, and as a result you miss the opportunity to live and enjoy the fruits of your labor.  Always missing the opportunity to be present to gaining knowledge daily to grow.

I would like to share with everyone the power of being present in our daily experiences and how quickly we can miss the blessings in disguise.  Over the weekend a god friend of mine planned on attending a very powerful event held in New York City called sisters circle, we were traveling on the bus to get there. Our bus time for departure was for 7:40 a.m., I am always a very anal when it comes to time being late is one of my pet peeves. I arrived at the bus station at 7:35 our bus arrived exactly at 7:40 but I was unable to get on because my friend was stuck in traffic in her Uber.  So, I started to get a little worried that we were not going to make it and if we would have to purchase different tickets.  A second bus arrived shortly after  I was still not able to catch that one  because my friend was  still two minutes away  so at this point my anxiety has kicked and I started to think this day of adventure was not going to happen.

 Here is where the irony comes in my friend arrives and as we are standing waiting for the next bus we met a girl named Katherin, she lives in Florida she took a trip to Philadelphia by herself and was catching the bus to New York for the weekend.  We were informed that her birthday would be Sunday and this is a thing she created for herself, to travel to different countries and states by herself to meet new people, learn new culture and just explore every year for her birthday.  This excited me so much as she continued to share that I handed her one of my cards and asked could we connect on social media because I was so interested in seeing her adventures.  I shared with her that I am a writer and I have a blog, in return she shared that she has an interest in writing a book to share her story with the world which I encouraged her to get started on.  Katherin bus arrives shortly after we were not able to get on we had to wait for the next one, only this time I was not upset because I was so grateful for that 30-minute connection that inspired me on another level.  I thought to myself if we did not miss those two buses I would have missed that blessing that light of inspiration early in the morning. I shared this to say sometimes we just must slow down, take a deep breath, relax, and trust that every disappointment is for a greater purpose, and if we are not careful we will miss it.  It is okay if things do not go as planned life is full of adventures meant to be explored I encourage everyone that when you are faced with adversity is to buckle up and get excited for a new adventure.

Universal Connection

Have you ever felt like you have been in the same space for a long time with no progress, and seems like nothing has been working and your prayers are not being answered? God is always working and always answering prayers we must put ourselves in the position to receive what we have been asking for. We must ask ourselves when we ask for things are we listening, are we available to him, are we meditating with him, and connecting with him on a deeper level than just for what we want? Asking for what you want also comes with responsibilities you must not only ask for it, but you must begin to get connected to hear the answer to see the signs. A lot of the time our lifestyle and even being too busy for even our self is what prevents us from getting out of that cycle. We are sometimes guilty of always praying for things to change while continuing to do the same things and taking the same approach at life because of that we get the same results.

Another very important thing we must do is practice communicating with the universe in a positive and receptive way. You know that saying “be careful what you say or what you put out there because you just might get it.” That is true if you are the kind of person that when you are going through a challenging time you say things like “its just my luck, nothing good ever happens to me, I never win, I can’t do anything right “and the list goes on. The fact is you have claimed all these negative things, you have lacked the faith to believe in what you have prayed for you are not trusting of the process. Another bad habit that most struggle with is putting a time stamp on when we want to start changing or waiting to get to a specific place to start changing. If you change things will change when we begin to change our perspective on life and how we handle adversities, how we think and communicate with the universe then will we begin to elevate.

“We Have To Pray With Our Eyes On God , Not On The Difficulties .”

The dreams and visions we have for our lives requires growth to live our best life possible. We must talk about our dreams with a selective and trusted few constantly mediating and visualizing on what our life would look like when we get there. Spend less time complaining and more time praying, planning, writing down our goals and taking great action to see your dreams manifest. It is not that we are in denial about our present situation, but our present situation is just the motivation we need. For example, when we are talking about our problems or all the setbacks slowly our energy seems drained, but when we are talking about our goals and our intentions for the day our energy is higher because we are focused on our purpose and not what limits us. Let us hold each other accountable speak life into each other, limit the distractions change our conversations with the universe and people. Make time for change by setting our intentions on God and follow his lead. I recently heard a powerful translation of the word help it stated “hello eternal loving presence “which I loved because instead of asking for help as a victim of circumstance we are asking for guidance.

Delays Are Neccessary And Detours Are God's Plan

God's plan is perfect and in moments of doubt and trials always remember that everything is happening for us. There is a lesson to be learned and a blessing to obtained trust the process and wait on him with a attitude of gratitude.
