Highs & Lows

I recently have been thinking about the idea of a sling shot and how the goal is to aim high and in order to go high you must pull it back and as low as you can  in order to soar father to hit the target. This is the same concept with life after the storms the sun will shine, but I strongly believe that god has a unique way of testing us and gain our attention before he can bless us. There are a lot of times in our life that God maybe trying to get our attention but because we are so committed to the noise and chaos in our life, we are unable to hear him. Most of the time Neither are we available for him because the reality is sometimes, we barley have time to hear ourselves   crying out for help, we are so distracted by everyone else’s needs, life, the job, and all the things we allow to define who we are and who we are being. The only way to be reached is to have all these things stripped away from us in order to hear clearly and get present to what we may need in this moment, it his way to slow us down to analyze our self.

Everyone loves the highs  in life but no one likes to celebrate or  be present in the lows, I have recently gotten a taste of the lows and how much you miss because by being so caught in the high when all relationships seem to be well , goals are being accomplish that you ignore signs and warnings  that have always been presents.  The result of that for me was a sudden shift relationships with family and friends came to a test and a sequence of event took place that I did not for see coming which were out of my control, I began to feel like I was at a low I was emotionally drained, confused, financially stuck and hurt all at once.  I felt like everything and everyone as I knew was stripped from me and suddenly, I was hearing more, there was a lot more clarity, my spirit felt lighter and suddenly doors began to open in all different directions. Things didn’t change because I was sat down things changed because during that period, I took the time to be content with nothing being happy even when things were being stripped away from me. I took moments to appreciate the blessings in disguise and I really got present to taking responsibility for myself and letting go of what I cannot change or control.

The reality is sometimes we are so busy trying to hold on to things or people that God is really trying to remove to make room for new and until we are willing to surrender, we are the ones that hold ourselves back. The only thing blocking our blessings sometimes Is our desires to please others, our selves, but not God the very thing we think is for us there is something bigger and better out there if we allow God to be in charge. Ultimately, it’s his way or the difficult road that is meant to sit us down to get present with him and reenter ourselves.  The reality is there is something within us that already knows when something or someone is not a good fit for our lives but due to our own insecurities and lack of faith we continue to try to mend and fix situations that only had a temporary purpose disregarding the expiration date.  I encourage everyone reading today to allow God to shake things up and no matter how painful it seems believe that after the pain and crying he will reconstruct your life in such away that you forget why what was wearing you down.  Allow yourself to freely choose to follow and trust God’s timing and unconditional love for us   to heal, protect, and elevate our lives on his terms.

“Try Not To Get Too High Of The Highs ,
Or Too Low Off The Lows .”

Pace Yourself

“Life Is A Marathon , Not A Sprint Pace Yourself Accordingly . - Amby Burfeet”

Have you ever had one of those moments where you find your mind continuously racing and flooding with worry and ideas all at the same time?  this is me and I have gotten better in the last year, but I will admit the need to perfect and be careful can be a distraction and a struggle. There is a time and a place for everything and like wise there is a time to think and a time to relax, there is a time to be creative and there is a time to learn new, there is a time to inspire and a time to be inspired. In life everything needs a balance too much of anything I never good whether they are meant for good reasons and being over cautious and over worked are one of those things that if over done could lead to negative results. There are a lot of reason balance and pacing we is important is because it can become difficult to focus and give a hundred percent to one thing at time and trying to focus on achieving multiple things at once creates frustration and in most cases self-doubt and insecurity   in your process.

 Overloading our mind is not a good thing from my own personal experiences and studying others overthinking is the number one reason for insecurity and doubt becomes present on our journey. Instead of breaking things down to a space that is manageable for us, most of us become goal obsessed and this not only affects us but also the people that are present in our life, because to feel better placing the blame becomes a stress reliver for us. The longer this goes on sooner or later there comes a point where a breakdown must take place before a break through, everyone handles a breakdown different, so the ideal goal is to work to prevent that. I myself just had this conversation with my husband when I am excited and fired up about a new goal I begin to over think and over work and then everything begins to look a bit more than it really is or seems more than I can handle. My husband said to me “you have to write it all down and make a mental note of important task so that they are not forgotten.” After creating a list narrow it down to taking on one or the most two tasks at a time and as you clear them you check them off the list and move on to the next in line.

Our purpose is not meant to be hard or difficult it is meant to flow we are to enjoy the creative process and take it all in as each moment is happening. Learning how to make life more effective than difficult for ourselves is the ultimate goal no one wants to live a life of self-imprisonment, being obsessed with anything will never create a good or happy outcome for anyone.  Life is not meant to be perfected life is about making the most of each moment, learning to appreciate the lessons to receive our blessings and really being grateful along the way. The more things we can be grateful for the   less things we focus on worrying about or being frustrated with. Life is bigger than us and there is so much more to learn and explore do not get consumed with how people receive or perceive you, focus only of catering to self in a healthy way which enables us to treat others with love and respect. There must be a balance and a healthy way to release and reset, set goals but do not over think or become obsessed, figure out what works for you mentally, physically, and emotionally.  Be obsessed with the process and the training to develop and grow as a person, it is okay to set big goals and achieve them with small commitments to achieve them.

Your Dream Is Your Responsibility

The power of focusing on your dreams and being present in each day to collect the gems is beneficial not only for our future self but also for where we are right now. From my own experience I have learned several things about myself and how to manage life instead of trying to control everything especially the things that are out of my reach. One of my many goals and most important goal coming into 2019 was to commit to personally developing my mind and spiritual growth, making choices that creates solution versus complaining or victimizing myself to my current circumstances.  Instead of asking why and seeking an alternative in my mind I have learned how to put that energy into focusing on how to go through each challenge I am faced with and taking it all one day at time paying attention to what is manageable for me to continue to progress. One of the may facts of life is we must always be careful what we ask for and always be mindful that   we must be prepared for the level of work that it takes to get to there.

Our dreams are from the heart and the level of love we have for ourselves to create the life that we desire is a lifetime commitment and   continuous growing process. One important thing I have learned is that we must be able to take charge and be responsible for how we go about building our business instead of waiting for the answers to find you be active in research. There is a very wise old saying that goes a closed mouth does not get fed but I have learned, and I strongly believe that asking questions is a must and is beneficial but what you do with the information that you received is another story. There are plenty of ways and resources available to equip ourselves properly to make sure that we have received accurate information to further our own knowledge. The reality is just because you asked a question and received an answer it does not make them responsible for any short comings and the same way they have access to specific information we are also in the position to educate ourselves.   We all want the end results but a lot of the times we focus more on expecting everything to be perfect with no challenges and neither do we want to put in the in-depth work that will make our break us in the future.

“You And You Alone Are Responsible For Taking Actions To Create The Life Of Your dreams. Nobody Else Can Or will Do It For You.”

I share this today to say that asking is always great but taking the intuitive to self-educate and fill yourself with the knowledge benefits us in multiple ways. This not only provides protection, but we can be more conducive to our dreams than always taking away from our goal, we can save time, money, and to know enough insight to not be taken advantage of because of what we do not know. I am encouraging everyone to take responsibility for your dreams, and your growth because your future depends on it. listen to understand and take the necessary actions to elevate making the proper connections, always taking charge of the things you do have control over and allowing all that is out of our control to flow and align itself at the right time. Learn to trust that God’s timing is perfect time, patience is key while you wait make it a priority to be content with the right now, being happy no matter what your circumstances are, and no matter what work harder on yourself. Our growth as a person prepares us mentally, physically and emotionally for the next level, pace yourself and work silently in research, faith, and commitment.  The knowledge you seek is already within allow yourself to trust yourself enough to do the work even after asking questions you are responsible for the actions you take.

Renovating For Elevation

“Today I will understand that I hold the key to my freedom” this is my way of thinking today, my old way of thinking was limited instead of believing and understanding that I contribute to my reality. The thoughts that we have contributes to our reality and so not only are we responsible for our actions, but we contribute to the people we attract and the experiences we go through daily.  The problem is most people only view life as a coincidence and that everything they experience is by luck or chance which is the opposite everything we do is connected to a divine purpose. It is all happening according to God’s timing weather our perception of our current circumstances is good or bad allow it not to mean more than what is truly intended for.   The moment we do that is the moment we imprison ourselves to our own mental abuse, we must give up the belief that we are not worthy of blessings and understand that god has already assigned greatness over lives.  Understanding that only the believer can persevere through pain and adversity a non- believer gives up at the first sign of a challenge being present.

We live in a time where technology rules and we all at some point or another lose our own sense of reality that nothing can happen before its time and not everything we desire can happen in the instant we upload or desires in prayer. Our dreams do not manifest through Wi-Fi our dreams can only come to life through a process that requires some pain, a lot of lessons, a lot of detaching, focus, and faith. We cannot just pop our vision in the microwave and thirty seconds later the finish product is complete, anything worth having is going to require a lot more time, a lot of love, and massive action. The most important requirement is we will have to invest a lot of time into ourselves, our personal development of the mind and committing to a healthier way of living. Creating a lifestyle that is beneficial to our mind, body, and spirit, to perform at a high level we need energy to sustain good energy we must be mindful of how we fuel not only our body but our mind as well. What we put in is what comes out and what we put out is what comes back to us, can you paint the picture in your mind and imagine what major results comes into fruition when we choose to be mindful of how we use our mind to elevate and align with greatness.

If you are that person sitting home or at work and the feeling of needing a new way of life is a focus of yours, ask yourself is your purpose worth a leap of faith or can you continue to sink and wonder for the rest of your life about the what if’s. In order to make room for new we must   do away with our old format, our beliefs, and way of being   we already know what we know, and we spend a lot of time in repetition even with no promising results. How bad can taking a trip down a new and unfamiliar  road be , there is nothing but space and endless possibilities  that we all have access to take advantage of ,feeling fearful is normal , after you have felt it get present , get curious, take action  and before you know it  you will have exceeded your own expectations and mastered the art of living on purpose. There is a whole lot of adventures waiting to unlock the doors to your dreams you must be ready to take flight and not look back. The past is filled with valuable lessons the, the present is filled with blessings, and the future is filled with purpose and joy if you choose to create it.  What will you choose and how will choose to live a blessed and vibrant life?
